Black Beauty

The darkness is hidden
Hidden within beauty
And hidden in the open

The beauty surrounds
And floats
Flittering

Fluttering

Flattering, perhaps?

But cannot penetrate
The dark, chaotic spirals
Anguish

Over a love that can never be

Author notes

If you like this piece, find amazement at a butterfly, when next you see one. they really are beautiful creatures. This poem was inspired mostly by the chaotic looking spirals of hair. To me the girl looks tortured, and sad, even though she is surrounded by such beauty. the blackness will consume her. Very sad...

    Wild beauty perhaps? There is indeed an attractiveness to some aspects of chaos. The ringlets of hair, manic expressions, artistic flourishes with the brush, will movement of a dancer. Very wise.

    That is somewhat devastating when someone cannot reach their potential for whatever reasons. Good write. I like the wording of this write. Well done.

    Safely hidden in the darkness,

    Beautiful write. Sounds like the thoughts of an admirer knowing he (or she?) can never really have their love returned.

    I like the imagination and the search within. It is a deep prodding beyond superficiality and that's so refreshing. Best of luck!
