Looks

R Nava 1955 (Lingayen)



Looks

Maybe it is vanity
Or simply just a yearning for serenity

I do look at faces
And study their blatant traces

Some speak of sincerity
On others I see insecurity

No matter the judgment
Reading them I find fulfillment

You have to excuse me
I just got to fill the desire in me

However I judge
I hope you wouldn’t budge

Your character is what matters
And not what you hear that flatters
