Beauty's Decoupage
Inner self can hide
For only a short time
Grass that appears greener
Could be covered with slime
Exterior shells wither
Jewels loose their luster
While true beauty shines true
Where love and joy cluster
Choose wisely my friends
Look beyond the façade
Outward beauty duplicated
Is merely decoupage
Discerning eyes can see
Beyond the thin veneers
Courses can be corrected
When love, not lust, steers
