Beauty in Decay
- Light a sharpie so bright
- shines on beauty
- seen through decay.
- Both beauty and decay
- form a duality of
- darkness and luminosity.
- Beauty is a love that can provide
- for its reality against dismay.
- Just as tradition is a security
- deposit for a mind’s decay.
- Darkness is a light
- meant to blight
- a mind with a fright
- from a jawline lost in a fight.
- Under a hoodie covering a body
- lies a heart fighting for beauty
- extending its fingers gracefully.
- Yet the eyes only see a dead body
- not the mentality exuding spirituality.
- Death encircles vitality
- only to accentuate mortality.
- Just as darkness blights luminosity
- only to revamp visibility and morality.
- Yet only beauty brought by decay
- can wake one up to reality.
Author’s Notes:
Everything in life is like a chain of dualities that complete a circle. If not for death we won't appreciate life and if not for darkness we won't understand what light is and if not for decay we would've never seen beauty in vitality. Hence, beauty rises from decaying and decay gives birth to appreciation of beauty.

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
