So ordinary is the visage of beauty
That's colorless compared to the sky.
The insolent azure shades of the sea
Drown in the blood red tinted dyes.

The beauty of all the colors is no more
As flagrant hues eclipse into darkness.
The green doesn't glisten at the shores
With the overcast skies still cloudless.

What was once beauty is now shadowed
By scars that mar the fair visage with time.
The semblance was reflected in shallow
Eyes that beheld the faint outline of a lie.

Yet, I behold nothing but the reflection
Of the now colorless and cloudless sky.
Still I remember the past coloration
Before my shallow eyes became blind

To the beauty of waking for another time. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 48 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Encrimsoned Shards

So ordinary is the visage of beauty
That's colorless compared to the sky.
The insolent azure shades of the sea
Drown in the blood red tinted dyes.

The beauty of all the colors is no more
As flagrant hues eclipse into darkness.
The green doesn't glisten at the shores
With the overcast skies still cloudless.

What was once beauty is now shadowed
By scars that mar the fair visage with time.
The semblance was reflected in shallow
Eyes that beheld the faint outline of a lie.

Yet, I behold nothing but the reflection
Of the now colorless and cloudless sky.
Still I remember the past coloration
Before my shallow eyes became blind

To the beauty of waking for another time.

Wish I could write like you do
I drift on your flows
way up high to the sky
where the birds don't fly.

You have such a way with words, it's astonishing. Lol, not to mention your way with conclusions and giving your endings such a nice impact. Shallowness(sp?) is something I'm all too familiar with, and may be at times with people in my life as well. The description you've used for the surroundings and "beauty" and the effects of life on a person (like the scars) were spoken from a sort of experience. That was a very enjoyable part of this piece. Lol, i feel repetitive, but your poem so easily speaks to me yet again! I mean, c'mon, this is getting scary :P
