Students
We are both students
of different
forms of beauty ..
My lady
labours in front of tall
mirrors daily
to perfect her art ..
And whilst
she is the most severe
critic of each
fresh line or blemish
she might
eventually find there ..
I practice daily
in a temple without
any mirrors
to remind me of all
the women
I have ever failed to
seduce with my poetry ..
Aww, that is insightful. As long as you did not do a “Hickory Dickery Dock” poem I am sure your poems landed it mark more often than you want to admit.
Ha .. Bless you Fia .. I’m afraid the clock eventually caught up with me .. but that aside .. I’m sure you already know that a true gentleman never tells .. 😎💛👍
Certainly your art is the real one! the art that shapes the inner self caring less about the materials, sure we (specially us women😏) should take care of our outside beauty but not neglecting the inside one, inner beauty shines on the face, outside beauty feels hallow. and don’t worry, even if we are good with our art, it doesn’t mean that we can get the specific man we want lol, anyway… I love this smart, brilliant one dear Neville, good coffee ☕ morning and POETRY (hint!) ;)..
I’m still struggling to get a handle on this site my friend .. But You are incredibly insightful, astute, self aware and bloomin kind .. Thank you so much for the visit and your understanding .. Neville 🌻⭐💛👍
Cleverly penned, Neville. I got a sense of Deja Vu, that ending seems familiar. Excellent write my friend. I can relate. Appreciate you.
