Behind the Beautiful Face

It is evident that you do not know me

And neither I according to this place;

Longing to seek what I cannot see,

There is more than just a beautiful face.



According to many, you have more

To offer than just a smile so gentle;

But I'm not one who will see and adore

You for something little or sentimental.



I wish to get acquainted with depth

By conversing you in a calm talk;

I may be young, but I take the step

To knowing a person before I walk.



Are you a strong and intelligent lady?

That kind of woman is all that I need;

I need not a girl who answers maybe,

Because that shows it's much to lead.



Beauty is something that is temporal;

Personality lasts to the end of eternity,

Beauty's like a kiss after two, it's simple,

But a personality is complex eternally.



The real way to get know a person

Is to that very person's heart within;

One's life's problems have worsen

If one believes one sees through skin.



Beauty is something only skin deep,

To exceed beyond the barrier of skin

One must confer with another to keep

To their heart where it is open.



Image is not what makes you you,

Because what you believe and enjoy

Paints that vivid picture unlike looks'd do;

That is something no one can destroy.



I am not intrigued by your beauty;

I am puzzled by what is there within,

Because I am not offending you truly,

But awaiting a discourse to begin.



If I left you feeling dreadfully offended,

Then you are shallow and very haughty;

If it is people like me you've resented,

Then you were someone quite naughty.



For I have been gallant and nice,

And I hope that doesn't you upset;

Because it is horrible being despised

By a lady; that is my worse regret.



Behind every beautiful body and face

Are a lady's unalienable mind and soul;

Finding if a mind or soul's taken space

That is cheifly not my ideal goal.



I yearn to encounter someone who's true

And eventually to keep in touch;

Could that truly special lady be you?

I hope so, because I don't ask of much.
