Faltering Beauty

Faltering Beauty

 

He pauses to admire the perfect laugh

and the glowing smile

he says

it is beautiful, to see me so

 

I do not recall what it was before you

 

But I have felt the heaviest

condemnation, monsoon tears

and just realizing what I use to be

 

Beautiful defined in child-like

contacts

unflinching truth

unafraid of lies

Beautiful is

 

Someone who uncloaks a magic cape

unveiling harshest love

rude and raw

 

is life... mine is faltering,

I do not remember becoming this ugly

 

When I distort our happiness

with dusk's derelictions,

dining on delights meant for dreams.

 

Ample Love, yet--faltered beauty,

our promises have become

distilled, delayed reactions

 

When did this lose it's zest

it's understanding and selflessness,

 

the beautiful things

always have outter shells

 

One would not expect a pearl

from creatures as such as

us:

 

a grain of sand yet to be...

 

He says he misses my laugh,

the solidity of it,

complete in the moment

 

I do not realize but

as of late, my faltering beauty, he claims

 

has now deflated

my song has faded...
