Queen [Poem Series]

Beauty

Her beauty lies not in her beautiful lips

Her beauty lies not in her flawless dark skin

Her beauty lies not in her almond eyes

Her beauty lies not in her luscious figure

But in the way her lips quirk into a sly smile

The way her skin vibrates with suppressed laughter

The way her eyes hold a hidden pain

The way her figure slumps with the weight of the world

Her heavenly beauty invited all sin

But her sinning soul captured all hearts
