Flesh

Beautiful indeed

As lovely as the words that express the soul

 

Perfect in so many areas

Leaves minds out of control

 

Tempted by temptation

The look of it at least

 

Bowing down to something that has no substance

Yet you cower at their feet

 

A protection from harsh elements

Yet the flame that causes your end

 

Who knew that your strength and weakness

Is what we call human flesh?

 

Is it the beauty of the soul

Or the curves that caught your eyes

 

Was it the stance  when at pause

Or was it the confidence in their stride

 

We look on the surface very much

But do we look deep

 

Flesh is our protection

But is also what makes some of us weak

 

So my advice to you

Is to look a little deep

 

For what you find underneath

Isn’t exactly what you seek

 

 

“Finding someone who is physically perfect isn’t bad. However, when you neglect the quality of a person because of his or her looks, that is wrong….. You might end up with a trophy that isn’t worth sh*t” – Monica Renata
