Beauty Glows From Within (Poem) Poem by Dave Tanguay

Beauty is alive and all around us
Disguised with such - a distinct finesse
From the real we choose to display the
Artificial
Revealing to the world only the superficial

Beauty glows from deep within
Love needs not - a hiding bin
We fear to reveal what we truly feel
For love is sacred, - so we choose to conceal

Although the heart we can never cover up
We must never sentence love - to - a lock-up
Many have tried to act out - what they truly are
Not
But no matter how hard they try - they always
Get caught

It hurts - it’s true - sometimes to be ourselves
We would rather live like a fool, - than to find
Oneself
Perhaps it’s best to share our best-kept secret
With the one close enough, and whom -
We share our blanket

It may be divine interaction to be deeply in love,
With only one
For it seems to all come undone, - when it’s all
Said and done
