Beauty

More old poetry from a few years back

Where have you gone?

Misbegotten porcelain beauty of the era

Pensive and saddened, yet alight

Dully glowing as only starlight can

Full and vivid as the moon

Forbidden as all else you love

Untouched as only a touched thing may be

Faltering where all prevail

Prevailing where all falter

A white lie laced in truth

Breathing in the fake

Exhaling life

Shards of falsity embedded in a heart

Too strong-willed to overtake

Ignorant of failure

White-lighted remedy

Aching for a taste of the dark-tainted hold

That has began to caress her mind

Intertwine light and dark?

Engulf something so fragile in something so strong

And only broken happenings may occur

Perfection will be lost

The beholdings of beauty would be all but destroyed

So she drifts among life

Like some deadened soul

Waiting to be awakened

Seemingly as pure as the whitest snow

And as precious as velvet

As riddled out as any cave of wonders

All that awaits is the tunnel in her eyes

For when you venture to her heart

You are designed to lead her to her place

Show her the beauty of her countenance

Give her back her soul

Bring her home

To life
