Beauty

Beauty

A Poem by Bridget Murphy

If beauty were measured
By looks and gold,
And liers of wishless words,
Then this poem could not be told. 

For beauty is a deceiver,
A deceiver of wishes,
It's the devil's believer
In evil kisses.

Beauty is for those
Who are not chained
By it's woes
And through it's evil, tamed;

But by goodness and death
And God's final call
They turn and cometh,
To the angel's dancing ball.

And when beauty dies,
And leaves the world
With endless sighs
While the golden dancers twirl;

There shall be peace,
But for those who lied,
They shall not cease,
To hate the beauty in the sky.

Many definitions of the word beauty. I like your description. Beauty can trick us. Real beauty is seen from the heart and the deeds done in a life. I like the strong ending to the excellent poetry.

The beauty has been demonstrated here in various shapes,forms and names
by using magical words.There is not a single stanza which is not perfect for its content or subject.
Congratulate you for the precious write.
