Beauty Is Deceiving

Its a power, a talent and totally dangerous.

For I can lie to you
In a tone thats so cold.
Putting a noose around your neck
Acting so brave, so bold.

I will throw out your only key
To your world of balance and trust
Because I love hurting people
In my mind of nothing but disgust.

For my eyes are marked with sex
And my body and mind cause thieving
Baby, I'm not the type of girl you want
For beauty is deceiving.

I can attract the good ones
And make them come crawling on their knees.
Feast their begging, drooling mouths
With my delicious but dangerous cookies

But those are the ones I just use
To my advantage as they come
For the bad ones i am summoned to
The good ones are only for their income.

I can't help my only power
The force i was born with and am still cleaving
For you should turn and run, baby
My beauty is deceiving.

I like this poem as it pretty much sums up life in this day and age. I have been on both sides of the coin, so I can relate to the words because it is not only the outer beauty but the inner beauty can be deceiving as well. I have to say though that I agree with the other review. The term "cookies" is an out of place term and its meaning can be seen in many ways as he seen it as breasts but I found it to be as some sort of positive in a negative.

i can assure you that..oh women
there is no more devastating weapon like they
they are so dangerous.ha ha ..in a most beautiful way
how many men you led to cry
on their knees they begged to tears
for so much love can be so degrading
oh woman..so nice but can be so hurting
have mercy on poor hearts..those eyes can kill
wonderful..

Very truthful and insightful piece on the nature of beauty. The only thing that threw me off was when you used cookies. The rest of the poem seems to have a darker, serious, somewhat seductive tone, but cookies just sounds really strange. I'm pretty sure you're using the word to refer to breasts, and I understand the meaning, but just the sound of the word cookies seems so out of place to me. Thank you for reviewing my poem btw!

Superficial "beauty" IS deceiving and many fall victim to the illusions it emanates; the glitter and sparkles that befuddle simple minds. True beauty however, flows through the senses and soothes the beholders mind.
