On Observing Beauty -Seven Senryus Poem by David Whalen

You can't stop me from
Partaking of… your beauty…
Only with my eyes

Your luscious lips…your
Limpid eyes…only inspire
Me to wistful sighs

You'll never know the
Power you wield…and chances
Are… you never will

Fleeting is beauty…
Lasts not long before tis gone…
A cutie no more

Allow a warm smile
To display upon your face…
Show your innate grace

Beauty comes also
With age…no hint of guile…it
Comes wrapped in your smile

Pleasant smiles echo
From another…to be then
cast away again
