What’s in My Poetry Scrapbook? VOL2

ALEXIA WOOD on Nov 26, 2011

A New Series where I display some of the poems I’ve written over the years.

SECOND LOOK

‘Butterfly’ by Michael Wallace

It’s amazing the many

Changing faces one can

Go through in this life

But it’s only the ones

You remember tomorrow

Are the ones you hold

Dear for life

Like yours

Not beautiful, not distinct

Or even one to pride

But it’s lack of those things

Get lost when you let out

That smile

Showing them all what I see

When I look into those eyes

A kind heart, a beautiful character

Displayed for all those mocking eyes

What a shame to never

Look past the picture

That first greets one’s eyes

Never knowing that a second look

Might reflect what hides

Just behind that tide

So I looked and I noticed

And now I know

That love’s hand

Can grab hold of anyone

No matter how they look

For beauty is just attraction

But character gets you through

All those faces in life
