Beauty

A Poem by JiltedButterfly
"

Response to Baudelaire's Beauty

"

distorting reality and perspective
making small things seem important
like a smile

while the big things seem small
and take up no more time than
a handshake

dragging the will to life
kicking and screaming to new
corridors of pain

while the will to death
blackens the afternoon with
it’s presence
