"Beauty - Poem" by Tansy A. H. Pye

SF&F Picture 1 out of 25 by Tansy A. H. Pye

Not for the feint of heart

Beauty

Beauty is in the eye they say,

Calmly I pluck it out

And find beauty in the scream

The piercing sharp of it

The spilling gurgling fountain of

Your mouth and eye

Beauty is only skin deep.

I peel it back to look beneath

Purple blue coiling art forms

writhe and spill

I find beauty in the agony

The thresh and moan.

But then it fades

Your beauty is gone

It is fleeting after all

It seems all beauty fades

Even the deep red pool of you

Turns black and ugly.

I start again, searching.

Seeking in the cut and thrust

Of modern life old truths

A young man smiles

A gleaming wink of yellow metal

Is all that Glisters gold?

12 Apr 2004	Felicor 'Rekesah' Bongolan	Loading... grins it seems as if your Searcher (is that a word?) don't like beauty much!
5 Jan 2005	Jesse 'S. Whisper' Cloutier	Loading... Beautiful, i feel inspired to do another poem. If you like darker written works and feel so inclined, you might want to check out the additions "evil lies awake" and "prey of dawn" and "no more happy endings" on my page. I'd be grateful if you'd tell me what you think, i really did like yours. Keep it up!
