She is fully clad

Embellished with shimmer

For all to see

Appreciate her beauty

All the curves

The straight lines

The geometry

The sly smile:

Sly—her smile holds the key,

To the lockers

Of worldly treasures

Bait

For us to grab hold of

Greed

Desires

Love

And

All

That is

Hard to stumble on

In the seas

Of mysteries

Her name is Art,

The woman

Lithe

Desirous

Proud of her right side

Welcoming the world with open arms

To enjoy the view

But unwilling to let us into the other side

A woman

Who uses those who admire her

To her benefit

Engrossing them

With her charm

A woman

Wholly

Selfish

Enjoying

All the pleasures

Not ready to part

With her jewels

Emeralds

And her ugly side.
