FROM A DISTANCE II

...So what more do I need,
Unto my inner voice I heed,
So unto this pretty maiden I walked,
To her with excitement I talked,
We embarked on this journey of love,
With the one I thought was sent me from above,
'Cause from a distance,
She seemed like the best companion for my lonely circumstance,

But now I realize that her beauty was only superficial,
Her glow and sparkle was only artificial,
That which she possessed was only ephemeral,
For deep within her being,
Etched within the fiber of her being,
Was a certain ugliness,
A certain bitterness,
And a certain sadness,
And now I regret ever inviting her into my life,
But I'm grateful I didn't make her my wife,
'Cause from a distance,
I was sure her beauty had substance,
But now I know that beyond outward beauty,
Lies a beauty which exists within one's entity,
A beauty of character and personality,
A beauty with class and dignity,
Not a beauty pivoted on artificiality,
So be mindful of she who looks beautiful from a distance,
'Cause her beauty may drain you of your life's substance,
Search for the beauty that lies within a woman.
Peace.

FROM A DISTANCE

It was hot summer afternoon,
There she was afar off, in the heat of the sun,
Her skin glistened in the sun's radiance,
Her beauty so sparkly, it created an ambiance, 
I was dumb-founded, 'cause from a distance,
She seemed like the perfect one for me,
And from the first instance, I was sure we were meant to be,

Her face was spotless,
Her legs were hairless,
Her skin was smooth and tender,
Her lips so full and sensuous, I felt like kissing her,
She had the perfect figure eight shape,
Our love together would be a perfect shape,
I tell you from a distance,
That girl looked like an angel, in the first instance...

BENEATH THE PAIN

Battered, shattered, all hopes lost,
Tossed to and fro by the winds of a dejected life,
Rejected by all, accpeted by none, but at all cost,
You desire a change in your life,
Don't be dismayed,
Don't be discouraged,
For Beneath your pain,
Lies a profitable gain,
Beneath your guilt,
Right underneath your filth,
Lies a treasure and a glorious light,
Which can put your soul on a glorious flight,
If only you will look beneath the rubble,
Look past the past troubles,
For you mess, can be turned into a message,
Which shall usher your generation into a new age,
Your many pressures,
Can all be turned into treasures,
For which your generation will be forever grateful,
And legacies you will leave which will be forever unforgettable,
If only you look within, look past, look up and look to the future.
Peace.
