(3) The Curse Of Beauty Drinkers Poem by Luis Gil de la Puente

(3) The Curse Of Beauty Drinkers

Rating: 2.9


We can appreciate the energy in art
and feel strong in the transfusion,
but then time keeps dripping,
the curse of the beauty drinker.

Surrogate life,
virtual, safe, mediocre.

Looking in the usual wrong places,
we´ll never get to know
what we want.

I am able to believe anything,
to deceive myself once more.

Do we need a miracle?

In the meantime,
silently,
the mysterious order of truth
moves forward.

yes most often we do look in the wrong places. Most often we don't know what we want. We stand still yet. I connected with this poem for a personal reason. Truth moves forward. Truth is always difficult to accept.

Mediocre. With the muse of life. Nice work.

If you keep yourself sober, you won't get yourself deceived, tho!
