Deadly Beauty
Be Careful when Choosing a Soul Mate
if ya know what I mean
enticed by the color
and the beauty that I'd seen
too good to be true
like an urban oasis
eyes all aglow
not a hair out of place and
not a spot, blemish or wrinkle
when it came to the face
But dark is an understatement
when it came to her soul
so deprived of light it was
like an outer space black hole!
they had warned me to beware
when searchin for a soul mate
because outer beauty is misleading
and could result in an ill fate!
Like a lion stalkin it's prey
she cunningly lay in wait
and with nose wide opened
I fell for the bait
I shoulda seen it comin
but I was lookin with the wrong eye
and by the time she was finished
all I could do was cry
so let this serve as a lesson
when choosin a soul mate
outer beauty is misleading
and can result in an ill fate!

Post a CommentWell done! Fun while insightful.
I don't know how I missed this one, but it's great to hear a male perspective on this subject. Nicely done!
Amen. :-)
I loved this word play and so quick and fun, yet enticingly true and vivid. Learning the realities of the beasts within us. Absolutely wonderful words of rhyme.
Awesome work!!! Yeah got to be more careful about that book cover, cause the story is totally different...peace!!!
WOW! How true is this? I have been there myself! Sometimes outer beauty is but a trap for the unwitting prey! Great job with this work here!
:) I'm loving the comments and input. Yes my wife has seen this mike, fortunately I got the total package with her inner beauty with the outer shell to match my own personal proof that there is a God ;)
As the first MALE respondent here, I do believe you are walking a fine line. Has your spouse seen this? "Oh, Mmog, thank you so much, apparently I am not so flat-out good looking as that one babe you encountered in our pre-life, but I am a much better soulmate and you learned your lesson that outward beauty is not so important, and then you found me ....." Blah, blah, blah. (I am only being semi-serious here, but that means I AM being SEMI serious.) ..... I will say that in my very own limited experience before encountering my bride, among my few more-than-once dates, the girl (I was young so I will say girl instead of woman) who would be the top candidate for being a model was indeed not a soulmate in any way, I just repeated the dates and wasted time because of the outward looks. So bottom line, yuour poem is spot-on. Still I don't know if the missus should see it. -- Mike
RIGHT ON! This flows so well.
Lovely, I enjoyed this
