True Beauty

A little cheese for your lactose intolerant diet.....

True Beauty

 

If shooting stars

And granite dells

Met frosting covered pastry shells

The scene could never be as sweet

As one square inch of your perfect feet

 

If rabbit fur

And beaver pelts

Met satin sheets and chocolate melts

The offspring resulting from that sin

Could not be softer than your skin

 

If Christmas lights

And festive drums

Met deconstructed cheesecake crumbs

The holiday that comes and goes

Is not as treasured as your nose

 

If candle light

And mercury

Met the majesty of every tree

The soul of the bird that lightly cries

Can be seen in the reflection of your eyes

 

Beauty casts an eternal spell

Can take a pious man to hell

That dragon’s smart so watch your back

Many men won’t make it back

Author's Note

I can't believe you people still let me play here....really...this is your own damn fault.

There is something so beautifully playful about your delicious Havarti words. I found myself smiling, wondering, wishing, and so glad you woke up the morning you wrote this so we could all taste a bit of the salty fromage blanc you spread so graciously for us on your platter, my friend. Yes, beauty does cast an eternal spell... and yes, it can take a pious man to hell... with a glorious smile.

Well thank god I'm not lactose intolerant and will gladly eat (read) all the cheesiness I want!
I thought this was absolutely beautiful and romantic, not too cheesy at all. Sweet in good way with an easy to read lyrical flow.
Love it!

You old smoothie :)
This is full fat, with added sugar and a layer of gooey caramel, smoothness on an industrial scale. Wish I thought of that.
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes right to the bone. Well, so people keep telling me :)

OMG!!!!! I absolutely, positively, LOVE this poem. Thank you for re-featuring it. Sometimes the best writing gets lost in the gotta see the latest.

[Crowley]

Thank you I have been hesitant to feature in a while, it shows my love of romance of any kind.

[Lyn Anderson]

[Kerry O'Connor]

I love this poem! Why haven't I read it before today?
It's you at your lyrical, romantic best. You have an emotional thermometer, which knows exactly how to measure the female temperature... You now what I mean, despite this weird comparison.

If candle light
And mercury
Met the majesty of every tree
The soul of the bird that lightly cries
Can be seen in the reflection of your eye.... I mean, honestly? What woman could resist?

[A.A.Romanczuk]

This is absolutely, undeniably adorable.
I love the way You took seemingly insignificant, inanimate objects and turned them into something beautiful and noteworthy...
I love the wisdom in "Beauty casts an eternal spell
Can take a pious man to hell"
How incredibly true...
This is incredible :)

I generally hate anything that rhymes, maybe because I'm jealous of those who can pull it off or unappreciative of those who can't, you are too clever. I left these words smiling. You can play in my yard any time.
