Love, Beauty, and Death

by LostHopesCrimsonTears   Jul 26, 2005


Everywhere you look theres a story to be told.
Behind every smile a frown, and every frown, a broken heart.
In the eyes of love there is nowhere unseen, for love knows no boundaries.
there is no creature undeserving of love, for lack of love is the root of all hate.

Kindness and generosity are a magical thing.
Given it will radiate and spread through all who experience it.
But given too late, and the seeds of hate are already planted.
No amount of love can undo the damage done.
Though it may hide it well,
Within that darkened soul still lies a heart with dark secrets at bay.
And no one knows just how long this darkness can hide before finally showing itself.
But when it does its a truly beautiful sight.
All the hate and fear once bottled inside now released unto a thought hideous act.
But anyone who knows true beauty, knows that the most exquisite beauty is found in darkness.

And death, the most beautiful thing of all.
For death shall not be feared.
Such a sweet release from this cruel and unforgiving world.
tis a gift to those who are most undeserving,
For the acts upon us do not tell the truth of our souls,
our secrets, our truth and innocence, all stolen.

Do now not be deceived, I am not your enemy.
I have come to take you away from this misery.
Yes it will hurt, but whats pleasure without pain?
Pain is but the greatest sensation of all,
Always affirming our meek and unimportant existence.

I want you to feel true love,
And the only true love is one that you can let go. Or so they say.
If you love something, let it go free.
Well I shall now let you go,
But you don't belong to me, so you shall not return.
Though for the love that Ive lost, Ill surely mourn.
My most beautiful deed done. I have let you go.

In the wake of evil, Passion shall prevail.
The beauty of the beasts soul shall engulf all around.
And those who shall cower in fear are the ones who should be feared.
And those who confront with hatred and disgust are those who next shall be let go from this life.
For their fears shall be confronted., and they shall finally see the beauty.
The ecstasy of pain.
The pleasure of feeling you soul be released.

Do not fear now as you slip away,
Close you're eyes, let yourself drift off.
Now you shall love me forever for the gift Ive given you,
For you haven't actually lived until you have too died.

Now when you look at me, can you read my eyes?
The pain I feel hid behind a mask to disguise
My true Passion in life, which is the beauty that doth lie in death.

    A very dark and sinister poem, some of the ideas behind this I didnt agree with but you have clearly put much thought into it. It was very erm... for lack of a better word it draws you in and is almost hypnotic...very different...

    Wow, this is a very different poem. First off I really liked how you can keep to a structure without having to rhyme! Also you keep a dark atmosphere up throughout the poem, even if you are speaking of something positive. I'd suggest tweaking the ending a tiny bit, because it doesn't sound like an ending to me - maybe divide the last lines up a bit more so the main idea is emphasised? Apart from that though this was very different and interesting to read - nice work :)
