Mortal Beauty

The Immortal made mortal beauty

Her hair glittered and shone
like glinting strands of gold
or her hair jet black
in a dark sheen of ebony
Ah, witness the Creator's creativity
in beauty variety

Her eyes a shade
of sparkling jade

Or her gold brown eyes
in all the hues of sunrise.

Her cheeks had a blush
of the red of rubies
Her arms shimmered
as does diamond dust
Her skin was radiant
as mother'o'pearl
Her neck and figure
so sinuous and slender
as the diamond back snake.

The coy quiver of her lips
like blossoming tulips

Her nails one could fancy
were pink sapphire
Ah, she could be a man's desire
set his heart on fire

But miss terrific might be waiting for heart throbs to marry
and not just any Tom Dick , Bobs or Harry

So even if you may be a lady killer
meet your match
for she may be a femmefatale!

But whether we lasses are blessed
with glamourous obsidian black eyes
or eyes in shades of sunset skies
The credit goes to their Creator, the Fashioner, the Wise.
