Beauty Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Beauty

Rating: 5.0


Beauty is a matter of perception;
To be seen by the eyes,
Sometimes open,
Sometimes closed;
To be heard by the ears,
With repeated resonance therein,
To be felt by the senses,
But not to be touched!

Beauty is intangible, though perceptible.
It can be conceived, thought over;
Imaginations can extend its expanse
But it cannot be possessed forever.
One can muse on and on
Over a ‘thing of beauty',
Can get absorbed in, submerged under it;
But at some point one has to let go of it.

All beauteous imageries, however arresting,
Are temporary, but their impressions permanent.

Beauty is intangible, though perceptible. It can be conceived, thought over; Imaginations can extend its expanse But it cannot be possessed forever. A very fine meditation on beauty. tony
