The Simply Adorned Temple

The woman that is plain on the outside is the one that has the most to offer on the inside

A plain temple 
Nothing to catch the eye
Any one passing
Will look then pass on by

The walls built
are plain to passersby
made with simple stone
not colored with dye

Treasures untold
hidden by simple stone
go unnoticed 
By those who are gone

Those who venture in 
are the ones who find
the treasures untold 
that boggles the mind

They find something special
missed by passersby
for they looked within
and they find the apple of their eye

A plain temple, a play off, 'your body is your temple.'

I believe your second and third stanzas are the strongest, because they speak of the walls or stone built in order to protect from hardship; this in turns question why the walls? This person has been hurt before, wants to remain unseen, but also wants to be found. It's the person who spends the time digging, unearthing the broken relics that finds the treasure, a kindred soul, one worth the adventure. I enjoyed this. My one recommendation, and this is a suggestion is replace 'the apple of their eye' line with another simile/metaphor as its a bit cliché, but overall, well written, well expressed, and enjoyable.

I am liking this. I feel there are multiple interpretations here. For instance temple could be a person who is not very flashy on the outside. Just a nice feel all around...bravo

I'm guessing the treasure inside is knowledge. Oh, if the walls could talk....nice poem, Stephen.
