on the sand,
Straight through town,
and throughout the motherland.
Pretty sunsets, sprinkled
like love adorned,
but waves could come crashing
and I should be warned-
Tides could be high,
and clouds could be dark
Love can have thorns
that pierce your heart...
Roses and vines
as beautiful as could be
could crawl up the fence
and be quite prickly and thorny.
For all the creatures
that prance through the grass,
some can be friendly, but...
others will bite your ***
Pretty is not always
the most wise,
for disgusting, wicked things
can lurk in disguise.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

A tale of suspicion whose undertow pulls at the reader despite the pretty scenes you paint. Words of caution veiled in rhyme shared by one who knows better than we what lurks in the illusion of beauty.
This is a story of lost trust, betrayal, and remorse.
To speak it begins the healing, and with it, self forgiveness for having allowed oneself to succumb.
