Denouement

Thoughts on Beauty #2

She saw herself as hideous, so she marked her skin in red. What she never knew was how beautiful the scars were. They were an expression which showed that she could still feel, even after all she had been through. That is more beautiful than any amount of foundation or concealer. 

Because of those scars, she knew she could endure. 

Thoughts on Love #10

And with a single word, our love flickered to life. It started small, like a burning ember in a furnace, but soon it grew into a roaring fire. Every time you say my name, it burns brighter. My heart is on fire with love for you- and I know that no power on this earth could extinguish it.

The world fell silent

But still you dance

With movements flowing

Like a newborn river

Knowing the path

The pattern

The way

But still unable to take it

When will my heart

Be as full of love

As my mind is full

Of worries?

I am stronger than

My demons

And bigger than

My faults

So why do i let them control me

As if i am nothing at all

Thoughts on Beauty #1

There are many misconceptions regarding beauty. People think that it is only what is pleasing to the eye, however, they couldn't be more wrong.

Beauty is the good that leads us to truth, no matter what form it may take.

Freedom.

I have dreamed of the word

But have always been uncertain

Of its meaning

Is it choice,

Or ability?

Or is it something in between?

I ask for freedom

But wonder

Which side of the bars

I see

I used to be a poet once

But now I've lost my spark

The words that once came freely

Are lost now in the dark.

I try not to get discouraged

At this subtle, painful change

But I've become a different person now

Though I yearn to be the same.

Thoughts on Love #2

When I saw you, there were butterflies in my stomach. 

When I looked away, they became rabid wolves, scratching and eating away at me until I learned that what I was feeling was love

The forget-me-nots aren't blooming.

They wither on the sill

No amount of water

Could ressurect them still.

The sunlight shines enough for them,

But all I think to do

Is to let them die right there

Like my relationship with you.
