Mortal Beauty

🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

Her jet-black tresses shine,
in the sheen of ebony
Or her hair glitters
like glinting strands of gold

Her eyes a shade
of sparkling jade
Or her hazel brown eyes
like bronze sunset skies

Her cheeks have a blush
of the red of rubies
Her arms shimmer
as does diamond dust
Her skin is radiant
like mother 'o' pearl
Her neck and figure,
sinuous and slender
as a diamond back snake

The coy quiver of her two lips
like blossoming tulips

Yeah, witness the creativity of the Almighty
The vast beauty in all variety..

Her nails one could fancy
are pink sapphire
Ah, she is a man's main desire
She ignites in him wild passion's fire.

But the terrific miss
may not always marry,
just any Tom, Dick or Harry

And  even if a guy may be a lady-killer,
He may meet his  match, a femme-fatale!

    A lady dressed to the nines in this poem of physical appearance that ends well with a match of a lady killer and femme fatalle

  • Fränz Müller

    Excellent poem, well done!

  • Friendship

    Nicely done, it hurt my eyes to read it.

  • Neville


    The message was eventually clear but the problem I had trying to read it was near insurmountable .. please remember not everyone has perfect vision .. Neville

      I see, so like is the black background the problem or the pink highlighter or light font?
      Thanks for the fine comment ,

      • Neville



        There are so many eye variant & visual problems that from a personal point of view (excuse the pun) I prefer good old black on white .. Neville

        In an imperfect world she is man's main desire.

        • 🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

          Yeahh , hmm even in a perfect world like paradise i think women will always be man's main desire☺️☺️.
          Thanks for comment,

            In a imperfect world the woman's main desire is also for man.
            I think?

            • 🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

              Oh well yeah in both perfect & perfect worlds women would also desire men for love and attachment . 😁😉

                Should never be a main desire, but to many it's the main attraction.
                Truth is (or maybe is?) that mortal beauty has no place in the heavenly

                • 🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

                  Um i could agree that it shouldn\'t be the main desire. But then you need to teach us what else should be our main desire then?
                  As for heavenly realms we in my belief believe mortal Beauty will exist there too even more perfectly. Even the bible speaks of enjoying things of the flesh in heaven and not just be souls.

                  Do not in future contribute to my entries here when the only time you do so is to request a reading of yours.
                  Having however made the effort, I am confronted with a colour scheme which applies pain to an ageing eyesight. I am no masochist, so Mistress go inflict your torment elsewhere.
                  (If I reach above your words, the only faint word available to me is 'Allah' over a bunch of women in traditional dress, so all I can conclude is that this is some religious propaganda not in keeping with my particular set of values)...

                  • 🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

                    No problem. But understand this, i don\'t get the time to login on here and visit the site unless when i have time to post . Do you commemt on my writes unless i commented on yours, noh you didn\'t. So i can't read and comment on others until i visit.
                    As for color scheme i get that coz others also complained.
                    And Allah was written on this old picture which i post on all international poetry sites with this poem of mine so dahh your sudden outburst that this is Islamic propaganda just sounds islamophobic lol coz nah every poet addresses God with the name He/ she is used to and the poem is not even Islamic as such. Besides there are women in the picture who are not wearing the Islamic attire so did you miss seeing those?? Did you expect muslim women to dress like westerners just because its a poem on a western site??
                    Thanks anyway,

                      I feel in retrospect I was unnecessarily grumpy, and for that I want to apologise.
                      My point boils down to the fact that I cannot read what you wrote, so there is no way I can properly evaluate it. That is frustrating, particularly having been unnecessarily directed there in the first place. this is unnecessary as I and quite a few others return the complement having received commentary.
                      I deny the Islamophobic accusation. I have no religious convictions myself, but can understand the need of some folks to use religion to get them through life.
                      'As for color scheme i get that ...' So what are you going to do about it?

                      • 🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

                        Yes poet Dave you were nitpicking and being biased today unlike other times when you actually said i should post more often. Could it be the islamphobia spreading like wildfire influencing you to think everything is islamic propaganda?
                        I like all writers write from my pov, my culture and i use terms learnt from my religion just like people of other religions use their background. I don't even always realise though when my poem would've somethimg Islamic, the Islamic influence just slips in unnoticed by me. And even my most Islamic poem is like in defense and justification explanation of why we muslims do something and on other bigger international sites they actually hold contests for people to write about rheir beliefs so some poems of mine do just that. Its to foster understanding.
                        As for commenting i have tried and observed that if i don't ask for comments poets mostly forget to return the favour. Only famous poets get comments without asking for them, or maybe its just me they won't comment unless i ask for it.
                        And yes we are of those who need the succor of relogion and i can safely assume majority on this site are theists not atheist even if not muslim, so i believe that non muslims theists can still enjoy my poetry because they are theists not atheists.
                        As for color scheme i see many poets here write in colored fonts on a black background, maybe they only don't use highlighter as well. So im gonna do that from now on.

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          I've denied the Islamophobic accusation of yours, explained my position with respect to all religions. Every religion has it's fanatics. From the length and tone of your response above, I deduce that you may be one or heading rapidly in that direction.
                          I repeat: what I cannot read I cannot evaluate, and is therefore just a waste of energy and time.
                          How are you going to rectify the situation?

                          • 🐤s.zaynab.kamoonpuri🌷🐦😽

                            Nope, im no fanatic and length of my msg can not make me one. None of my poems are fanatic. My tone is super cordial.
                            And yes i meant from now on for future poems im not gonna use highlighter, only colored font on black / white background like so many do here. My poem poses no problem to my eyes and i thought my eyes had vision problems.
                            Ok bye bye.

                            • Doggerel Dave

                              Bye bye for now.
                              Take care of yourself.

                              good write my friend

                            • Bella Shepard

                              They say that beauty is in the eye on the beholder, and that can take on many faces. Who is not drawn the to the perfect face, and marvel how it came to be. Your colorful words capature the essence of the poem, indeed. I enjoyed very much!

                            • Kevin Hulme

                              Yes . She seems a fine Lady. And her phone number is...😁. A good Poem.

                              Wow!
