Beautiful & Brutal

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

Viewing a show of stars.
Each soul alone,
forming an immortal-like smile.
I never liked you--not one bit!
I imagine pulling an imaginary trigger,
tearing my world apart.
I remembered just then...
how to be both beautiful
and brutal.

I really like the start. The 3rd and 4th-5th lines seem a bit contradictory to me. This may be because I am failing to grab their essence.

To be beautiful and brutal shows a very strong characteristic of a woman. Your words are powerful.
Thanks for sharing.

An owl on the moon

You really do create such a tension in your words, with the blending beauty and pain. The smiling sorrow is so powerfully glowing.
