this material world declares.....

beauty shouted....
slammed in your face...
warning.....buyer beware

with only eyes beholding... tickled ears.....
the game...
now played thru their frame
the trap is set...
the bait.....tempting..teasing ..
calling your name…….
"come play in my net"...

true Beauty whispers.... " I am a riddle"
don't find yourself ...right...
or..left caught...... in the middle
quickly defined by your eyes.....
my time is short...
my bite painful...
for sure you will hurt.

gently undressed...
by a curious mind......
discoveries filtered...
thru a humbled heart...
surely.......you'll find

everywhere present......
it can't only be shown........
it must be known
fleeting it isn't ....
forever your own

Beauty.........that's lasting......
you'll find....
flows.....by choice......
from the thoughts in your mind

buyer beware....
you will find what you seek.....
sometimes fooling yourself...
using pretty "names" as a mask......
leaving you thirsty and weak......
wondering why you get not what you "ask"......
everything seems a task....

not found in a shout......
when quietly....tenaciously sought....
is graciously kind.....
and easily caught....
