Beauty

Is it fare to say beauty…to look with admiration…to kayak
dejection? We love for now…and often forever…to carry
this love. Is she beauty ever a life adrift a psyche warring

and clawing—afraid to love. Is it fare to say beauty…to
pamper such beauty…to wane softly? Wean me from it…
ever to see it…where rebels hide. I long for it…to nestle it…
disturbed dearly. When was praise diamonds; often green…
found in teenage years? I’ve grown for ice…tugged for soul…
a bit rude. Was it beauty? Was it? I ask—to love beauty…

and more beauty…a silent struggle. So many years on beauty—
intoxicated. I was drunk for beauty, pulled by beauty, aloft—a
galaxy of beauty. It was burgundy eyes, cherry smiles, and
apricot breast. I loved it; the bulk of hearts, flipped into a soul.
I cried for beauty—to dream of beauty—stringing guitars.
Every curve a poem…a woman vogue…to chase where shadows
open. There was beauty…a tender wound…something reversed.
Is it fare to say beauty…to live for an island…enlove with
beauty?
