The Obsession

How much beauty must I consume
until I have been sated

Taut young skin
Lustrous locks

Eyes that pierce deeper
than a bow

Graceful gestures of the hands
covering obscenity

Obsession renewed 
generation by generation

Propagation the endgame
Nature enduring

Vessels for life
Beauty in decay

A rose dried up
in the vase
