The Beauty Rare

Standing at the helm of my inner being,
trying to understand the intrinsic value
dirtied by two acts of consequences;
and I quickly realize that these dynamics will surely,
affect someones heart.

For hers was a Beauty, Rare;
and it surrounded me with splendor,
yet, emptied me of all hope.
For in that single instance,
I humbly, and respectfully,  lowered my gaze, in awe.

This serendipitous moment whispered stoically of another day,
even though there was a monumental tugging at my heart
I knew, that this feeling will never fade away.
It's as if I were born into a world without music,
or a gray dismal region that was faded of colours.

Every moment lacked inspiration
and sincerity was unmistakeably missing
 from every smile, involved. 
And with every given truth, there was a familiar emptiness,
suggesting a world without music, and land free of colours.

The only blatant truth is this. I now know the intrinsic value of my worth,
amidst the more important issues that carve the Day.
Aughh...but the loveliness of the Beauty Rare;
but, I know...I'll cherish each of these Nani-minutes I can spend,
with the Beauty Rare.

For, even though things will never be for us,
in a like regard-things will always be the same.
I can say that my eyes will thirst no-longer,
for this moment I, and I alone own.
I was denied a drink from her cup, but dared to swallow in her presence.

True...it's bittersweet,
but everyone is destined to live this lesson.
And it may seem unfair, however I learned
the meanings of both "no", and "forever".
Because, forever I will yearn for her, yet forever be denied.....the Beauty Rare.

A lot of words

and I know you felt some strong emotion when you wrote it, but it just isn't there for me when I read it. It may be that it is too long; one of those pieces where less would be more. It may just overwhelm the mind. The theme is a good one. You might try to cut back on some of the repetition and focus more on the message at hand. Just a suggestion. Best, Ronda

You're absolutely right...

....I think it IS a tad "wordy", however-when I have trouble "slimming" something like this down, I get a little "spreckackled", and can't seem to decide what should be left out...so, I have a propensity to just "leave it", as is. Your point is well taken, though; for yours, too-is a "beauty, rare". Warm regards, Doc.
