Beauty

Her beauty must be managed with a glove,

For beauty is a thing she’s guilty of,

Blooming without a mirror in her hand,

Something the rose is like to understand,

 

Whose beauty must be partnered with the thorn,

Whose purity is ultimately torn.

The rose belongs to the ephemeral,

As her life is to the ethereal.
