Thy beauty,
fickle doth it play
upon my youthful
vanities.
Radiant doth
it burn
upon my tender
sensibilities.
Passionately doth
it wrest my gaze
and redirect my
steps.
Insistently,
doth it create
smoldering sensations
in my loins.
Heat, be the feeling
on my skin.
Damp, then,
the beads on my brow.
Pulsating, be the
veins beneath my flesh.
Excitement, be, the
force behind my stride.
Though, the true source,
the driving question,
the impetus behind my curiosity,
that of ultimate urgency, be,
who is she,
beyond the beauty?
Humbly yours,
J
Alas, there’s the prize. That mysterious inner life – with subtitles undetected by natural passions – is yet the source from which the fragrance of true beauty emanates.
