More Than A Word

Nobody knows what beauty is if you ask -

A blessed boon or a wretched curse!

Twisted view to the watching eyes

Silvered word to a mirrored lie;

Nature's way to tell you an intricate tale -

A paradigm where you start to dwell,

Imperfections hidden, taken aside

Illuminated by an ethereal light;

Only to be crashed by strangest of reality

White bones exposed in such cruelty

A beauty championing time's test -

Truth defying the death's quest.
