Physical Beauty

By Anctbedelli

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

PHYSICAL BEAUTY:When I look into the bloom of a flowera despondency is reflected back,as if it is awareof the briefness of timealloted to beautiful things.This depth of soulcan only be seen from a distance,because,the role played by beautyblinds the worshipful viewer,who is drawn to its brillianceas a moth to a flame.Within this blooma young virgin stands,naked,with beauteous splendoreager to burst forth,to steal the breath of the ordinary,in that fleeting flash of glorythat is physical beauty.        By Anctbedelli Written October 22nd, 2001 © on Oct 22 2001 04:45 AM PST   10 • 1 • 13
