DARK BEAUTY – A SHORT LOVE POEM

You flaunt no cloak nor veil

But rather embrace your beautiful darkness—

Twirling it like diaphanous silk,

With an angel’s aching heart

And a poet’s silver tongue.

You, with the enigmatic beauty of the black jade,

Repelling the venom of the saw-scaled viper, and

Fighting the bondage that holds you in unendurable anguish—

Breaking the chains.

Your profound honesty guides.

Your tranquil wisdom heals.

And your torment is as seductive as your kindness.

For through every battle,

Amazingly so,

You’ve treasured all the treasurable things with undying passion

And awe.

And me,

Weighing your words,

Enticed by your voice.

I adore you.
