FAR FROM FINE

From afar you look so fine

Yet I have come close

And I find you far from fine

The sun’s rays rippling across your brown skin

Must have deceived me as to the brightness of your character

You look like an angel

but you behave like a devil

I only pray that my deliverance from you comes soon!

For your beauty draws me

yet your character repels me
