Petty

Prettiness is petty, on its own,
Though rather pleasant, I won't disagree.
Its value lies in what it may have sown
Within the hearts of those that choose to see
Beneath the prettiness, into the heart,
Which may have different beauty to be seen.
I like to look - who is so far apart
From human as to not? - but hope to glean
Something beyond attraction from the sight.
Not that it hurts to be attracted, no.
But I prefer that mingled with a light
Or heavy touch of some more lovely glow:
The glow of love and friendship which requires
Looking beyond the surface of desires.
