A Prelude to Beauty

Yeah I'm not the greatest writer but i wrote this when i finally got over something that had destroyed me in the past.

 

Beautiful, how can it be defined?

Words cannot erase it, looks cannot replace it

There are not many that fit in this line

 

Yes, there are pretty girls all over this school

There are girls in our class who are pretty, it’s true

But beautiful and pretty can be intertwined

There’s only one beautiful girl that I know in my mind

 

Some may disagree, and ask me “Karno, what’s wrong with you?” but please,

Beauty is nothing defined in stone, it changes by every heart that knows

How to love a girl and show it, failure to do so will be poignant

True love means so much to me yet I cannot find it

 

Help me God, help me life, help me catch my beauty’s eye

Her skin like chocolate, her eyes so bright, her personality that I like

Her clumsy beauty may be weird for others to try and love its sheer

Cuteness and fun that I can see, why aren’t the guys insightful like me?

 

She may not be global number one, but the truth is she’s my only one

I cannot get her, I can’t succeed, so woe is me, woe is me

Why this baggage I must carry, I try to bury it but it bites me

Even on this day one year ago, I caused a fire, and it will not go

 

Conventional attraction, how is it bad? The answer to that is quite sad

One year ago on this day, I stumbled upon a pretty face

A sexy body and a rich divine, personality that spoke all lies

How I loved her I will not know, but now it’s over and has killed my soul

 

Pretty faces can speak lies, when girls find ways to play their guys

My super power isn’t this way, her heavenly touch relieves all pain

Such glossy eyes, heart that tells no lies

One day I hope that heart is mine

 

So how can beautiful be defined?

Words can’t show, love can only know it

Only your heart will help you draw this line

Karno this is beautiful, heart wrenching, honest, insightful, so much more. I think the reason i can really feel this poem is because of how well i know your story and because you were gracious enough to let me be a part of it. This showed so many different kinds of emotion, sadness, heartbreak, redemption, recovery, love...etc It was so incredibly real and accessible and relatable. reading your heartbreak broke my heart. (in a good, poetic way?) anyway, great job, put more of your stuff on here! Thanks for sharing. -ng
