Behold!
All sigh in awe
Humbly form this red carpet
That must carry divinity
Ignore!
All gasp in horror
Haughty form this black hole
That must swallow atrocity
So fair
Sheer aphrodisiac
To the expert connoiseurs
To light up these hard times
So ugly
Mere poison
To the inspired artists
That must alleviate this gloomy world
So finely strung
Pure ambrosia
To the exalted thinkers
To lighten these dark ages
So plain
Utter toxic
To the actuated visionaires
That must illuminate this blinded universe
On high clouds you reside
Worshipped by all
Behind an ethereal veil
To make your radiance bearable
In the subways you dwell
Repudiated by all
Behind a condescending mask
To make your stench tolerable
As the moon rises
And the sun withdraws
All are set in darkness
Unguarded, alien and dangerous
As the blue skies fade
And the pale stars strengthen
All is lost
Waifs in a strange universe
We grope and scream
Unheard, we touch void
As weak reflections
Of the lost day
Mock and deride our infirmity
We creep and squirm
Feeble and without aim
As suddenly a helping hand
That knows the way
Leads us to enlightment

| I liked the whole rhythm of the poem...the styling of each stanza made it all the more intriguing to read. Interesting subject too; just like the title, beauty is not all it seems. Good luck in your exams ;) |
