Is there any truth in Beauty? <br />What of the lies beauty tells thee? <br /> <br />Could my beauty not be as worthy <br />As I make thy Beauty part of me? <br /> <br />Such is Beauty as to make one's sight loud. <br />This beauty that veils our sense in a shroud. <br /> <br />beauty: that which deters seeing the person. <br />Does Beauty not conceal what is and isn't? <br /> <br />Yet merciless time holds beauty as a hostage, <br />Defiles Beauty and scars it with lasting ravage. <br /> <br />Thus the years that pass send Beauty to its resting-place <br />For vain beauty will yield, to woefully fall from grace. <br /> <br />If beauty should ever lament on age's cruelty, <br />Let not Beauty forget how little it has wept for me.<br /><br />Ronberge (anno secundo)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/is-there-any-truth-in-beauty/
