Breathe

[Steven1607307306]

There she was,

Encircled by callow leaves

Still wet behind the ears.

Amidst her beauty I

Was tantalized with false

 

Security.

 

 

Now flourishing,

Her disguise was complete.

Hiding what lay beneath her

Beautiful sea green masquerade.

Concealing her repulsiveness

 

 

As the sands sank down

Her exquisite strands of hair faded

And the jade washed out into

Multihued, aged foliage which

Swindled the untrained eye.

 

 

Then,

The unveiling of a beast began.

 

 

The deep auburn fingers, which clenched her mask

With a spiteful intent, gripped ever so tight.

The bitter iced winds never broke to false beauty.

Stripped of the splendor and proved only the unadulterated form,

Insisted that I gaze upon the arrival of truth,

 

 

I watched it.

Pondered it.

A moment frozen in time,

As if the hourglass was filled with stones.

I can now

 

breathe

This sounds pretty good, I'd say you continue to do poetry it might go somewhere
