so true - beauty does lie in the eye of the beholder, and many a time, only the outward manifestations are noticed - the inner beauty is overlooked.

Good write A. There is suffering, sickness, etc, in life, as we know. But one wanted to impress a religious person, and said, \'Oh, I\'ve suffered greatly\'. The reply they got was:\' To what wonderful degree of ecstasy have you been exalted to, that you compare your sufferings to St Paul and his \'thorn in the flesh?!\' (usually taken to mean some painful physical ailment - a book had 4 chapters on it!).

\"Beauty is more than just skin deep\", or so the saying goes. And it is truth. In fact, the reverse is quite true as well: true ugliness is never a mere surface appearance. I have met some \"beautiful\" people who turned out quite ugly. When one comes to see the person for who they are, not just what they look like, that is when one can tell the true beauty or ugliness of a person. A most profound and true write, Soren. Well done! 🌹👏

Ah, Soren, you have done it again. You have strummed across the strings of my heart. To love the human being is to look past all of the superficial, to look into the real depths of heart and soul. Thank you for sharing such a needed message.

I was a bit amused by the title for Holy Week.Your poem delves into the dichotomies between beauty and ugliness, truth and deception, and societal notions of worth, implying that external appearances can conceal deeper truths. It suggests that judgments based on superficial qualities can lead to overlooking inherent value. You appear to prompt introspection and encourage readers to transcend surface-level appearances, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of beauty and worth in both themselves and others. Furthermore, it underscores the perils of jealousy and superficial judgments that can result in misunderstanding and disconnection.

I once read that the abuse of sexual energy is at the root of mankind\'s suffering. It\'s been claimed that is what caused mankind\'s fall and ejection from Eden. Taking a bite of the apple.
Great write, Soren

\"We don\'t make love, we feel it\" what a beautiful stanza that follows. It\'s a funny thing that people don\'t seem to understand for a while.

\"We don\'t make love, we feel it.\" On the surface, a literal translation of this is true enough. But metaphorically and philosophically, this is profoundly true across the board. We feel and we share/give love...experience it even, but we don\'t make it. 🤯 Well done, Soren. This is an instant fave for a whole host of reasons, let alone what I focused on. 🌹👏

Your poem illuminates the beautiful nuances between passion and love, highlighting their ephemeral nature and the profound impact they have on human connections. It reveals that while passion can radiate intensely and swiftly diminish, love blossoms gradually, nurturing a sense of serenity and comfort. This thought-provoking exploration invites reflection on the intricate dance between passion and love, inspiring readers to contemplate how these emotions intertwine and elevate their lives. Ultimately, it serves as a poignant meditation on the transitory and enduring essence of these universal human emotions.

Reminds me of Russian Roulette at the end there. I see a gambler, trying so desperately to buy pleasure, then trying desperately to win back his losses. Of course, it\'s only so long until either a mistake is made, or a purposeful shot taken.

In this I see the course of one\'s life with, perhaps, death being the bullet in the gun ending fun. The rushing to grow up, the youthful mistakes cast a bit of a shadow but are forgotten by the progression of one\'s life and the busyness therein. Then, before one knows it...death. Or, it could be past mistakes forgotten only to return with a vengeance, I can see multiple interpretations in this wonderful poem. Well done, my friend. 🌹👏
