Beauty

Beauty looks the sun in the face and sees the moon without her make-up
Beauty gazes upon the moon in the afternoon and falls asleep in her splendor
Beauty sleeps with vivid dreams and lives in surrealist paintings
Beauty walks the canvas naked, donning a smile and forgetting the world
Beauty wanders the woods in the presence of wonder
Beauty shatters lenses, dries up pens and chokes the artist in his wake
Beauty breaks the rules and forgets to write new ones
Beauty feasts on the artist’s imagination and breaths his naivety
Beauty lavishes the artist with cantaloupe kisses and fills his cup of Joe  
Beauty looks the artist in the face and sees a child speckled with incandescent tears
Beauty will never cry, for she will never know what life is like without her
