THE BEAUTY THAT IS

Folder: 
2003 Poetry

Every man has his own share of lust on you

even monkeys wish to be human because of you

your pulchritude is too almighty that only

a blind fool man would not want to seize



Adam the first man discounted the fact

that God's mightier than Eve's lap

Great Caesar succumbed his might

when he thought it was love at first sight

Mark Anthony dared his budding luck

to be with you, and be your ever faithful stud

Samson too can swear to this

When Delilah was the cause of his early demise

how about the crime King David committed

when he sent Bath Sheba's husband to be killed

oh! how a beauty can make nobles unworthy

cases of these are bounty recorded in the history

crime is the fruit for the passion of beauty

if you say it’s love that drives a man to adultery

then it’s your adulation for beauty that will

make me see your inner is truly unsightly

Thank goodness there is a Poet named Ernest Bevans for correcting Rachel to Bathsheba..
