On Beauty

On Beauty.
_________________

The difference between Deceptive Beauty
and Poison?;
One kills The Beast faster and leaves a less
bitter after taste.
The other slowly Murders the Soul
while ones eyes bask in the Mock-Glory of
a Sweet (yet sour) face!

Tis a Dreadful Muse indeed,
which fills the Mortal Heart with
senseless Need!
(but leaves the haunted mind sad,
and Empty.)

Beauty in it's highest form is quite capable
of making a cheap dollar store dress look
like the most expensive armani found;
or transforming a simple burlap sack into
Cinderellas Magic Dream Gown.
Not a Material thing of shallow essence;
but a strong and Power Presence!

And It is to this Rare Beauty that I devote
the entirety of my Being.
