Beast of Beauty by ~Darkhymns:iconDarkhymns:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


In the world’s eyes you stand tall

In society’s laws you stand proud

Acceptance is a virtue that blesses you instead

While our faces draw back into the shadows

You still walk along the pavement

For the sun shines on you in pride

It’s amazing that it doesn’t expose you

The lakes surface bounces back the light

On top, nothing is shown

Unaware of your eyes that never seems too harsh

Because the corpses you’ve left are rotting in the sun

Thus they are forgotten for the world has it’s eyes on you

They don’t see your face

It melts and caves in, revealing black tar dripping

Your eyes have fallen and the skin peels off

And then only a corpse stares back at you in the mirror

But they don’t see you, just the sparkling eyes

The truth is always harsh, who wants to see?

The Beast of Beauty walks along the pavement

Society knows no reality

The foundation the world’s built upon are false words

The Beast of Beauty holds the mask, leaving the carcasses here with me

The ones who feel a wrenching heart never last long

You, Beast of Beauty, you do not see the dead end looming before you

All paths lead to a stop

What is it like, Beast of Beauty, to have the world love you?

Though it is only the façade they can perceive

But soon, Beast of Beauty, you will know what it’s like when the eyes laugh

Sorrow watches from the rooftops

Your tragic flaw is catching up to you

My Beauty

Well, this was something I wrote a while ago. Part of my poetry; bad poetry, but it's an attempt. This is one of the few that I actually sort of like. So basically, it's a poem that I wrote one day. It's amatuerish but I try.

I'll put a picture up later...one day...XD

What are you talking about, that is an AWESOME poem! :hug: Kepp up the good work, I expect to see more pieces like this! It reminds me of Kinslayer somehow, don't ask me why. I think the words like 'rotting' and 'corpse' draws the attention to something dark. Even if it's not about him, it's still a great poem!

I still say this is one of the most, if not the most beautiful poem I've ever read. Even if it is a little on the dark side it's amazing and holds so much truth. :popcorn:

I respect the world you live in but I don't believe in it.
