Bittersweet


Beauty an exterior

Stunning and rhythmic

But that does not excuse the inner reflection

a beautiful face

covers a soul illy laced

 

Like an ocean

rugged

natural

hypnotic beauty

rough edges adding to it's provactive semblance

 

But like an ocean

your soul is dark

and deep

something so beautiful

so deadly beneath the cover

like the cover of night

masking sinful thoughts

 

Its not just you

we all contain this

sickening

seductive

passionate

glorious

roaring

aybss we call our souls

 

But you

you are beautiful

a trick of nature

luring with your every move

whispers take a dip

or dive right in

effortless to trap me in
