Retain

I write out of loneliness 

I write out of pain

I write to capture the beauty

That my eyes can not retain

Lovely work, full of description with only a few short lines.

[Beau Maysey]

Beautifully concise quatrain of intelligent thought. Almost like a little epigram of sorts, very nice.
The last line reflects that what is consistent cannot last for very long; beauty can only be seen for so long before other factors move one along

Thank you Beau :)

What a simple yet lovely refrain of poetry.

I write to capture the beauty
That my eyes can not retain

What a terribly accurate description of what all poets try to do. You have captured the essence utterly

Thanks a lot. :)
