Some Sort of Lovely

Look at her.
A beauty so rare
Barely noticed,
Hardly seen.

Hidden beneath
The dark
The twisted
And
Obscene.

A voice speaks
So pure,
Soft
So raw, yet tender
Oh how lovely,
Her simple beauty.

Can you hear it?
The whispering sounds upon your ear lobes.
Or is the pounding of your sinful heart
Echoing too loudly.

Now she cries.
(drip)
And the tears are knives
Cutting away at your already shattered soul.
Each drop carries a bit of her life.
She’s dying

Your pleas to your god will
Not save her.
So stand, do not look away
Watch this heavenly phoenix
Become ash.

(drip)

See a distant
Ocean
Flashing through
Her eyes.
Can you feel the waves dragging the sand from under your toes?
(drip)
Her quiet storm
Soundlessly.
Rages.
Yet, she makes no sound.
No changes
of expression.

Elegant in her
Lonely way.
Always silent
Always afraid,

(Fear is what makes us brave)

Never complains
Already a quiet grave.
A cold
beauty
(Drip)
Don't insult her
By asking why.
It’s too late for
Questions.

(You missed all your chances)
Time to say your
Good bye’s.
(Drip)
Watch the last
Of our now
Sleeping beauty
Die.

(Splash)

Hey sweet lady, so sad and beautiful, so human. Odd, I just ended up watching the animation a few hours ago, and for some reason it bothers me that she is awakened.

Paper lady, I thought this write was absolutely beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could reach into writes like this and alter the emotions of the author by somehow wishing that I could have been there to prevent them. But at the same time these particular ...

emotions unfold into a reminder that too many of us go without a single notice sometimes, a single notice that could make a world of difference, but is simply bypassed by a world that remains isolated by inopportune devices. Much love. Daniel

i love the title, thru the poem, i can sense such saddness, a deep loss almost...like the poem is recited by a narrator who feels this pain they are witnessing,yet it is so descriptive, you can feel the pain from 'her' almost firsthand...nice
