True Beauty Burns Poem by Shanto Armonde

True Beauty Burns



You straddle two worlds
Your fingers feel the touch of heavens
And your feet, the earthen realms
Imperfectly balanced along the edge of the chasms of the grotesque
Burning brightly, rivalling the sun this moment
And fading to ashes the next
You are perfect beauty
Vanquished by your very flames
That you used to shame the stars
