A Beautiful Woman

By Malcholm Dark

A marriage arranged at birth
To a woman whom I never met
O, such a beautiful woman!
And though, I know her not
O, such a beautiful woman!


In the grandness of style we walk
Beneath flowered halls of beauty
Bound forever, together in wedlock!
Yet still, I know her not
O, such a beautiful woman!


The reception truly magnificent
People gather by the thousands
To see the beauty of this woman!
A beauty, I know not
O, such a beautiful woman!


Our lust did tell of passions kept
On a night of consummation and wine
A midnight rain whispers her name!
I take this woman, I know not
O, such a beautiful woman!


As sunrise breaks the mountain brow
And casts a light within my chamber
On a woman unclothed, yes exposed!
Her veil gone, the wine worn off
O, such a monumental mistake!


Who is beast, I know not
O, such an ugly, ugly woman!

God help us!

As men, we often lose sight
Of the prize that awaits us
A prize within our very grasp!
Their heart and soul, we know not
O, such is the beauty of women!

    Reminds me of a pick up line, "Here's ten bucks. Drink til I'm pretty, then come talk to me." Lol.

    As it's said "money talks", and it must have had a persuasive argument. The veil should have stayed on I guess lol. I would do the same thing perhaps, if the price was right. Well done again Dark, another amusing work. Scholar
