UGLY BEAUTIFUL

by Kevin   May 26, 2004


Sometimes….
my senses cry for deprivation
too much coming in with no obvious output
for what I feel

I could scream but..
I haven’t air enough in my lungs
to let it all out

All the joy and wonder and rage
at beauty
that it can blossom where nothing else matters
that a man
on his deathbed
can smile
and be beautiful
is ugly to me

At times like these
I wish numbness upon myself
ignorance perhaps is bliss
yet I know I couldn’t live in the darkness
having witnessed so much light

I must trudge on regardless
my eyes wide open without bias

Beauty is as nature
cruel and kind
sweet and sour
totally without conscience
utterly without thought to it’s appearance
Ugly and Beautiful

    That was my favorite stanza. Truly amazing. It was so deep, and i know that sounds lame, but it truly was. I loved this poem. Kudos
