Pulchritude from the frolic domain

An unknown beauty

The lore of uncertainty has given me an intriguing revelation

I am in no control of what fate befalls me

I have lived with an array of beliefs

Beliefs which were established from certain rules

Some of which were more restrictive than protective

I realize there is a need to look beyond my veil

One which had blinded me for an eternity 

With my eyes now opened I can perceive accurately

I took a chance in exploration

Leaving my place of comfort was trifling yet I proceeded

I ventured into lands I once swore to never tread

As expected it was filled with every trouble I hoped to evade

It oozed with unending decadence

And powered by youthful exuberance 

By mere observation I could sense the repercussions to come with indulgence

Of those who partook of these merriments was a lady of prominence 

As others she wore an attire fit for this irritable occasion 

She claimed interest in my presence but I ignored her allure

She carried beauty however that was always a palpable feature

I waited for her to avert her gaze and I fled the turf

For such a place was of no relevance to me

I returned to serenity

I always found joy in my quiet place

Yet this beauty managed to invade my serene paradise

She began by gleefully summoning my presence

At first I evaded her inveiglements 

But this beauty was relentless

I paused my evasions and decided to return the courtesy 

After all it was the mannered approach to things

Then I realized i had connected with true beauty

I found this beaut to be more than extrinsic features

Her words had captivated me like a siren's tune

Her smile had become ineluctable 

I tried to deny the existence of such artistry 

Yet it reinforced each time and developed more glamor 

Her fairness, I could see it all, I could feel it all

I could see the winsomeness in her body, soul and mind

There are no sufficient fusion of words to articulate such perfection 

There is only one perplexity which I am left to ponder

What have I done to be deserving of such pulchritude?

Sometimes going outside of one's comfort zone can be dangerous, but also rewarding. Here, it appears the latter was the case. Still, it does pay to be careful at all times.
