My Mistress' Eyes are nothing like the Sun.

This poem is a poem written by the one and only William Shakespeare. Usually Shakespeare's writting is harder to read but i didn't find this peom all that mind boggling. Its a fairly simple poem about love. When you first read this poem it is very easy to get the wrong idea about what the peom is truely about. If someone claimed they loved me, I would expect them to at least say nice things about me. I mean I woulds be pretty insulted and embarrassed if some said "And in some perfumes there is more delight/ Than in the breath that from my Mistress reeks." It seems he has nothin  good to say about his mistress for example: "Coral is far more red then her lips read" this couls imply that she has the opposite wich would be pale lifeless lips. "if hair be wires, black wires grow on her head." These are not the kind of complements a woman want to hear. After heading all these ugly descriptions about his mistress, its hard to beleive that this is the woman he loves. Finally at the end of the poem the theme of love really shines through. It turns out that this really is just an ordinary woman, there is nothing all that special about her but thats what he loves about her. This man loves her for who she is and not what she looks like. She isn't perfect but most woman if not all woman aren't. I beleive that more people should love eachother this way. Looks are only what grabs a persons attention but its the personality that keeps them around. Looks also don't last forever, it's important that you love someone for who they are if you do that your love should never fade. If you claim to love someone for all the wrong reasons there is a great chance that the love you have will not last.
