....Skin Deep Poem by NikMorgan ...

Beauty is dangerous
A rose of plenty thorns
Many are the fallen
Where her sullen frown adorns

Beauty is fleeting
Fickle as a friend
Always ambiguous
Impossible to depend

Beauty is obvious
Hollow inside
A superficial splendour
Where no depth or feeling hide

Beauty is corrosive
Acid word slipped by sultry tongue
Needy and neurotic
Like bunting, highly strung

Beauty is habitual
A narcissistic work of art
Only knowing self love
Quelled the fires of the heart
