Imprisoned Beauty Poem by Leila Samarrai

Imprisoned Beauty



Imprisoned beauty
In three layers poured
During a hellish night

Helen,
Intrigue ate you
And Erinyes
In turbulent water
Tongue burns from gall

Trojan woman,
Shave your beards!
And you shall see truth:
Shackled naked bodies
Stumble through underground passages.

Through myths
My death
Will be the eternal memory
Of sun's fiasco.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In her essence, this poem uses the myth of Helen to explore what a single minded violence in a group, also the evil dynamics of the herd, can do to the one exquisite human being. The poems speaks about the envy, but it is the truth that smost of people wouldn't think to do harm alone, but when in group, they dare to do an unimaginable things to other human being. In the core of this poem, the message is hidden: behind any harm there exists only and only two things and that is too much for me to bear: one is the envy and other is stupidity.
