And That Is Beautiful
Beautiful
Her eyes
No one sees
The tears unkind
Beautiful
Her smile
No one feels
The pain maligned
Beautiful
Her secrets
No one expects
What to find
Beautiful
Her laugh
No one knows
What's behind…
The face she makes
To hide the pain
The smile she fakes
Facades to maintain
The mask she wears
Of beauty arcane
The love she adorns
Delicate feign
She feels bound
To approval’s chain
She feels so lost
In stature’s stain
She feels lonely
In falsehood’s reign
A heartbreak that
They can't explain…
So she lets go
Stops smiling, cries
Tears of longing,
The broken ties
So she surrenders
To their empty lies
As a part of her
Deep within dies
And she collapses
Not wanting to rise
An unanswered love
To paralyse
And she dissolves
Closes her eyes
A silent dream
To fantasise…
In her darkest hour,
He finds her…
He sees an angel
In ashes divine
A goddess fallen
To darkness sublime
He sees a lover
Of beauty so fine
The stars conspire
To predestine…
Their encounter
By fate entwined
Their paths so cross
By fortune divined
Their bond of love
By spirit assigned
Their cord of faith
By heaven designed…
And that same love
That flows within
The very strength
That lives therein
Invades his heart
There breaking inÂ
Ignites his soul
Burning akin…
And she finds him.
She sees a fire
In darkness’ blight
Kindled ablaze
Glowing alight
She sees a flame
In the midst of night
Shining resplendent
Luminous bright…
A flame of hope
Scorching desire
A searing faith
Consumes entire
Her spirit whole
Becomes a fire
Of passion thine
To thus aspire…
Reaching afar
Into the blaze
Her eyes open
To his fiery gaze
Falling in deep
Her heart allays
Her spirit soars
Her soul ablaze…
And they touch.
Kneeling afore
He meets her eye
“You're so beautiful,
It’s okay to cry…
He strokes her hair
She hears his reply
“I loved you as you are,
You didn't need to lie…
He skims her cheek
She turns aside
“I’ve looked for you,
Why do you hide…
He smooths her strands
Rippling atide
“Knowing I’ve never,
Really left your side…
And she remembers.
She holds her breath
Her eyes agleam
Her yearning soul
Naive ascheme
She blushes red
Aroused adream
Her bashful smile
Glowing abeam…
She takes his hand
Over her heart
And promises
Never to depart
From his presence
Once torn apart
Now here forever
Never to part…
And they are free.
A tender crush
Beloved dear
Their secret tryst
Devout sincere
His comforting sigh
Her beautiful tear
She was not herself
Now she is here…
A kindred smile
Upon her face
A timeless love
None can replace
A blissful laugh
Of divine grace
A dreamy kiss
As they embrace…
And that is beautiful.

Hey EDWARD!!
Wow!!.....that was a great read......I enjoyed the narrative aspect of this......it's in the cleverly delivered formatting that contributes to its flow and keeps the reader compelled.......a fine job of rhythm and timing throughout as well...but ultimately its the well conceived and BEAUTIFULLY delivered subject matter that leaves its mark!!......I haven't been on for a while and was pleasantly surprised to find this......ALL STARS!!......well done dear poet brother....and in case no one has said so......WELCOME to COSMO!!........T xo ?
Thank you :) I am glad that my work can inspire and motivate you :D I wonder if this can win the competition :)
Hi EDWARD!!..... there is a possibility that it may win..... usually, it's the newer poets that arrive here that win!!..... The older writers, such as myself, don't normally win because this site is much MORE about developing friendships that help new writers with feedback and tips about newest contests and etc.     But, most of us are VERY serious about our writing and are taking the hard road to learning EXACTLY what we are doing...... For me......I truly am saddened by the entire notion that people no longer read poetry or buy books of poetry.... there was a time when that simply wasn't so....... and so I say to you dear poet brother....... If you Love poetry.... you must understand that you will most likely never be paid for it!!..... That's what we're supposed to say....... truth is..,. if you've got serious talent...... the world is primed for a new renaissance period....... which means.... with hard work and TRUE understanding of words and the forefathers of your craft...... you can become recognized in one of (if not) the PUREST art forms in all of human existence.!!.... thank you for allowing me to ramble on!!.....I am your newest cyber-friend.....tony ?
I agree! Today I went to a seminar about marketing on Amazon, where entrepreneurs and coaches displayed their million dollar figures from marketing innovative products. And I got an idea...
Let's put some lines and quotes from my poetry onto metal and bamboo :)
I have a good feeling about this :P
