I Am Beauty Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

I am beauty.
I know you all look at me with your eyes and mouths agape.
I know you draw and paint me and flaunt for ages.
I know you love me for my white skin and fleshes like foamy waves.
I know you love to drink and eat me up to the last traces.
I know you love to sell me and buy me then in a flashy marketplace.
I know you get mad for me and wild goes your madness.
I know I lie in your subtle senses that love to burn and turn ashes.
I know you will kill yourself twice before you kill me once.
I know for me you can wage wars and immerse your souls in blood.
I know I make things fair more in the dark and in silence.
I know you have made me a Goddess and my blessing is your bliss.
I know you can die many times for my single kiss.
I know for you all I am eternal.
I know you are a slave and beast.
And I am the mistress.
I AM BEAUTY.
