Power

A Poem by Ana B.

There was a rose, hidden from the world

A keeper of beauty.

Petals of rubies and leaves of smoldering gold

Shining so smoothly.

 

As ever, beauties need protection

From the world’s windy thoughts…

This precious, subtle collection

That should go on at any cost.

 

Cause in this orb, sometimes forsaken

Even genuine ‘’rights’’ get ‘’wrong’’

One’s weakness is often mistaken

With the common notion of what is strong.

 

The greater the beauty, the greater the decoy

When it should be pure and intact…

Cause to build is much harder than to destroy

In this world where beauty’s always  clear yet always  abstract…

"its difficult to build than to destroy"...so rightly said...roaming in a jungle and thinking that loin wont eat you because you are a vegetarian..is not correct... the world is like that only but here humans are much more dangerous than animals...

thank you Emily :)
Very good, Ana B., it's a wonderful and beautiful poem. It's harder to build than to destroy, how true this is. There's too much destroying in the world of today. In war and even in our little quarrels in our relations. Positive criticism can only help to become better, however to criticise just for breaking something down is very, very wrong. That's what I was thinking reading your poem. Very well done. :) Rudi

It's like you have this secret hidden cipher, a mind so unique...spreading words of wisdom, to everyone in NEED!! I simply have no idea how you do it!!! It's unreal how your mind works. I love it!!!

I have a tendencies to overanalyze, and think, at what cost: when I see decoy I just think camo/I wish I understood the metaphor...but that's not you; ME, I love every word you write!

Thank you very much my sweet friend :)
In this pale world of deception and masks, what we want is difficult to find and you have depicted that very beautifully in the poem with the notion of beauty because that's one thing we want to find.
