come beauty... by ~derangedoptimist:iconderangedoptimist:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open




come beauty...rise forth...

clutching onto an infinite space
where i empty my burdened thoughts
held back by helpless hands
no key could unlock
the mass of absent doors
kept covered by this heart

come beauty...

please could you try to reach
the place that captures me
entrapping me to solitude
that not one could comprehend

rise forth...

being leashed to this siltent master
underneath my masked disguise
prevents one from knowing
what is really felt inside
how much is bled through these palms

come forth...

swimming through this endless pain
alone with a search for understanding
in a rush of accepting waves
waiting for one to break the chains
held down by walls of fear

release who i used to know...

come beauty, though not in vain
rise forth, let me be known
peel me from where i remain
in skin tortured and worn
assist and pay the toll
that provides shadowed light
unveil this shattered soul
to hush the silent cries

When one has dealings with scholars and artists it is easy to miscalculate in opposite directions: behind a remarkable artist one not infrequently finds a mediocre man, and behind a mediocre artist often a very remarkable man.

... Sometimes, I worry that I will read things from some people, and always have to cry...

It makes me smile at the end.

:hug: This is awesome.
