Kalopsia
[ka-lop-se-a] Greek
(n.) The delusion of things being more beautiful than they really are.
Poetry. Mostly intertwined with Tales of Greek Mythology.
"Will wonders never cease
When my muse saunters the velvet night,
And prays to the moon for...
A mind like art (Young, pretty, and never wrong.) Eyes like jade brilliance; A painted face sculpted by the cigarette cloud that surrounds you— I found it so invigorating; Michelangelo might be jealous.
And in between the smoke of the cigarettes you smoke as if it were your religion, My eyes catch yours And if feels like fire— Like a gentle sin I took. (Lord forgive me but I don't want to repent this time) It was as if I knew those eyes— As if I'd seen them before. (Maybe my soul knew yours all along)
God, you're like a heavenly sin I never want to leave Because revelling in your beauty is a pleasure of mind. I wanted to capture your beauty Present it to the world like the prettiest painting known to man, And you laughed in response (yet it sounded like angels)
"Doesn't Beauty need a witness?" "so does a testimony," you said And I thought If being so beautiful was a crime, Then what a damn good crime you are.
—
You said you feared a foreigner's god (So did I) So I asked you what you worshipped (Please let it be me) And you told me, "a beautiful mind" And I thought, what mind could be more beautiful than that of a mind like yours Which was art in itself. You distrusted life You approached it with hatred as if you knew it's capabilities you knew them all too well, my dove.
But all summers dim into fall, And the ocean still stays beautiful In sea salt air, reflects a rose colored dawn on glass waves Like a viridescent mirror, And everything becomes colder and silent, Following fate's predestined tempo as each wave crashes against the shore.
I say this to you, my dove Because like the ocean, Your beauty is nature's gift. It has no boarders, no limitations. It holds the wonders of the world inside it And you, my dove, are just as beautiful as nature's song.
