The brightened sequences.
Waltz through a painted ballroom drenched in evening fire,
A palace flourished in marble pillars of white hue;
Mirroring a teal reflection of delighted desire;
Gracious, like a couplet of swans shrouded in blue.
View bougainvillaea draped over a Gothic Christian church,
Stretched across the divine Romanesque land of flora
Pouring over basins of a horizon as lights daubed birch,
Reigns of mystic twilight wielding a peaceful aura.
Transcendentalist perspectives ignite untouched grass,
Of newfound Beauty within clasped forces of the earth;
Distinctions of right and wrong left like nails as rustic brass
Where thinkers cannot conceive of nature's birth.
Sprouted as spotted fungi on logs, Beauty does thrive;
Back in elegant corridors, its portraits remain alive.
A demeaning conception.
Impressionist masterpieces diminished by hateful spew,
Condemned due to Plato's will to inquire;
His shrieking, thorned branches emerged and grew
Striking the steel of a brambled barbed wire.
His torment damaged souls atop the idealised perch;
Death spread its bleating wings to erase Beauty's plethora
Of an ability to invoke creativity with a swooping lurch,
Rotting as cyanide in apple's seeds under the aurora.
As did societal words, opinionated in a heaping mass
Neglecting Aestheticism, questioning Oscar Wilde's worth;
Of portraying Beauty disguised within sculpture and glass
By downing the chalice contents that once brought revolution f'rth.
Perhaps it is the truth that imitations reject moral judgments and deprive
Worldly views of beliefs that once stood strong to survive.
But bunched on many a platforms, Beauty does thrive;
Where in the realm of art, its many definitions remain alive.
