CRUEL BEAUTY
In this realm, elusive creatures dwell,
Cloaked in allure, a tale to tell.
Bathed in love's cascade, yet hearts they break,
Cruel beauty veils the soul's ache.

Ruthless dancers in life's grand masquerade,
Well-wishers entranced, in shadows they fade.
Love offered true, on conditions it stands,
A delicate dance on ephemeral sands.

Behind success's curtain, a woman may stand,
Yet the symphony begins with the triumphant man.
In poetic whispers, life's truths unfold,
A tapestry woven, in stories untold.
