B-E-A-U-T-Y
With eyes closed tight and arms stretched out,
The top uneven peak can make you flinch.
Laying both palms, along the parallel sides,
All five fingers will not fit evenly
throughout.
Placing palms down,
until resting on its front.
Two fingers reach its narrow,
oh so, eloquent top.
Fingers curl around tapered, sandy, layers.
Alike a beach castle, so tranquil and precise.
An extraordinary piece, so heavenly divine.
Moving both palms down, curving inward,
Then suddenly straight down.
Bumps, groves, curves and creases,
A sure likeness of myself to be felt.
Reaching around the bottom, ocean waves.
No; far too layered and smooth.
Can ones touch be mistaken?I
Is this even real?
To look with ones eyes and see only dark.
Not knowing the truth, no direction at all.
For only to feel in the dark,
and finding out,
Beauty exists within ourselves.

How very true! This was beautifully written! I haven't written a poem for a while. Well no, actually that's a lie, but my poems have all been of personal nature, but I've taken to writing lots of short stories, all on story write. Keep writing, Meggh x x x x x x x x x x x x

Thank you! I knew you would get the gist of it! Some people find this type of poetry too abstract to even comment on it. I wrote it while closing my eyes feeling a hand made statue of an angle, it was an experiment.
I was inspired by my mentor/professor Stephen Kuusisto he is a blind man who writes the most beautiful poetry and books I have ever read. I wanted to see if I could find some of that same beauty with my eyes closed as well. That may sound silly but people who can see, offten forget about touch, sounds and the sixth sense around them.
Glad you like it

Very imaginative.
My first impression is almost like a blind person trying to see what a person looks like. Emotionally I can feel the quest to know someone, yourself perhaps. This is not awkward, in line 16 I think it is (Bumps, groves, (grooves) I think you ment, curves and creases.) Then in the next to the last line it should be (and to find out,). The title is perfect for this and the first starts this off very well. The last line is perfect. I can't say that I have a preference for any part over another.

It's alright I guess...
but I'm really not reading anything too compelling here. -

Ha-ha, thats okay. This is a very abstract piece, almost like a painting. It is very different, and it is not a poem that will strike all as good. But, I'm glad that you were honest
We all have our own taste, especially with writing.
I wrote this poem about a piece of art. There is a name for it, and I cannot spell it right off, lol.
Thanks for reading and commenting nonetheless.

Beauifully descriptive, this lets the imagination run and satisfies the senses. Beauty is in the touch of the beholder and the pen of the writer.
