Echoes of ephemera

Your beauty defies comparison,
Captivating and full of mystique and wonder.
It ignites curiosity in the hearts of all,
A siren’s call that beckons and enthrals.

A delicate veneer, fraught with pain,
Thorns that prick and wound each heart that’s gained.
Your allure is double-edged, a paradox of delight,
A fragile, fleeting beauty that shines with deceptive light.

Yet, to innocent eyes, you’re shallow and brief,
Presenting yourself as a vibrant, thriving tapestry,
full of promise and possibility.
Yet, beneath the surface, lies the inherent truth that
life is temporary, brittle, and ephemeral.
