Twisting of beauty should not deform the idea, the beauty itself. Why oh why do clouds of black, rain down on the subject of shame and pain? Why can’t the weapon be materialized? Why can’t the lies be realized? Beauty is the best source of pain. Take a thing high in glory, Pure and pleasing, Disturb the foundation, And watch it fall. The height lets it into the darkest hole. Why is this so? Why must what is made most magnificent, Suffer from a subtle switch of substratum, To break and bend hearts so badly beaten, Until it becomes easier to drown in poison then, To take a breath of oxygen?

A Tragic Duality
Twisting of beauty should not deform the idea, the beauty itself. Why oh why do clouds of black, rain down on the subject of shame and pain? Why can’t the weapon be materialized? Why can’t the lies be realized? Beauty is the best source of pain. Take a thing high in glory, Pure and pleasing, Disturb the foundation, And watch it fall. The height lets it into the darkest hole. Why is this so? Why must what is made most magnificent, Suffer from a subtle switch of substratum, To break and bend hearts so badly beaten, Until it becomes easier to drown in poison then, To take a breath of oxygen?
