Ode to Beauty

If a man treats life artistically

his brain is his heart.

O.Wilde.

Everyone has beauty of its own.

For me it’s the picture of dawn.

A label has its own beauty,

Let’s take for example “Cerruti”.

 

The flood of tears may be a beauty,

One’s soul striptease may touch your heart.

Once dance the night away and “Tutti Frutti”

Will give your life a brand-new start.

 

A tiger in the woods may be a beauty

As long as it is silent in its place.

Your happy tears concerning loyalty

May beauteous be, covering your face.

 

A childish smile is beauty at the top,

So smooth and delicate- try to resist!

Admirable things are all over the world

And next to you, of course- look at your wrist.

 

Surprised? Oh, it isn’t difficult at all

To catch in nothing an alluring thing.

Once notice, you’ll see this joy for seasons all

And once upon a time in a wedding ring.

 

You don’t feel any hunger

At seeing lovely things.

Look at Leticia on the cover,

Believe in supernatural things.

 

A sin may be quite splendid

If it’s committed well;

When you regret the deal

It’s an omitted farewell.

 

I like success. It looks so smart

For those who deserve it,

Like cultivating a rare plant

And finally preserve it.

 

For all eternity possessions,

Fine things will never die.

Just look at your reflection

In the thing that won’t lie.

 

Your lovely stomach butterflies

Are so pretty true to see.

It’s understandable what within lies.

It’s more graceful than it seems.

 

Gosh things live in your Greenfield Tea

Where they tend to have their party.

It’s not a common bag of tea

But that of finely selected speciality.

 

It’s no use mentioning here

How fine rose-petals are:

Still lives always live near

Though memory sealed the envelope of love.

 

Stars in the sky at night so scenic,

Uncountable wishes are.

Just scan the view. It’s so terrific.

Forget for a while who you are.

 

Equal affection is superb

If you know how to handle it well.

All joys and sorrows of two hearts-you can confirm,

-there are a lot of things for two to dwell.

 

Today your mood is lovely,

Because no news is wrong.

Admire Beauty! Happily

It’ll stay when all is gone.
