Beauty


We imagine beauty, this inner artifact, projected through senses; but could it be—that beauty is inherent, needless of an audience? We say of beauty it must come to life; but isn’t it living—free of hindrance—and free of observation? The statement becomes: beauty is glorious, whether it remains unsighted; and beauty titillates, as to remain beauty, even when vexed.  I shift and churn, scribbled in an auditorium, receiving beauty’s essence: this faraway charm, this unlocked dungeon, this feeling of alienation; for surely we see them not, but rather an object—that becomes hostile.  We were given a moment—the obvious unspoken, a pair of spirits and loins. I knew not the culture, or more the fragrance, and it seemed shallow to ask: this is thoughts, fully self-conscious, retreating, as yearning advancement. I knew not this soul—an aspiring humanist, bent and slanted by equality. I knew not the human, seated beneath the beauty, where such is augmented by the human! I knew a face, and curves, and long mane.  There’s chaos to beauty—this world longing romance, attached to sophistication: the manicured this, the pedicured that, those moments where art comes to life. We see subtleties, as conceived through minds, where beauty is resting in instincts: this vast wilderness, as natural as breastfeeding, where a smile is misconstrued; for we yearn this furnace, as to create this flame, while beauty has forgotten sentences; those spoken from heart, as to convince an audience—of this undying fervor.  I knew not the consequences—of musing without guards, a set of warriors to bring us home! I floated freely, and died reluctantly, as to infuse a paragraph; or even a stanza, to see those tenses, searching for a predicate: this magical arm, this mystical body, those pains that come from beauty. I knew not the thunder, as confused with articles, generated from within: the silent grunts, that caprice outburst, that second in time where beauty was sad.
