The Kingdom of Beauty

Samer Amin

 

 

 

 

The Kingdom of Ugliness is almost everywhere.

 

 

 

This kingdom is encircled by an immense ocean of despair.

 

 

 

Amidst this ocean of despair, an optimistic sailor still strains desperately with his broken oars.

 

 

 

After traveling extensively through the unstoppable waves of turbulence, an optimistic sailor still searches for a hospitable island in this stormy ocean.

 

 

 

When he is swallowed up by the waves of the worldly life and its heavy burdens,

 

 

 

he still pushes his tired arms against the fast currents.

 

 

 

He still manages to hold on to hope, while your voice is still calling on him.

 

 

 

Sometimes, the glow of hope gradually fades over time.

 

 

 

Sometimes, the passage of time cannot dim his hope.

 

 

 

But he still tries to suppress his despair whenever his little boat is exposed to the fierce waves of misery.

 

 

 

Although many years has passed, he is still waiting for an opportunity to reveal his true feelings.

 

 

 

To reveal what is rooted in the depths of his heart.

 

 

 

To reveal that his entire world and all his dreams have been recorded in your eyes.

 

 

 

To reveal that he wants you to free him from his limited confinement.

 

 

 

To reveal that he wants you to remove the illusory limits of his limited ego,

 

 

 

and enable him to live all his coming years just for you.

 

 

 

He has always kept true love and sincere affection in his heart for you alone.

 

 

 

There are many roads and many paths in this world.

 

 

 

But even so, he chooses your path, because your path is the only path that leads to the kingdom of beauty, since the absolute beauty belongs to you alone.

    Good words Samer, we must never give up on life.

      Thank you so much Andy, for your positive attitude and encouragement.

      That's right. We have no other choice in this life except keep going on, in spite of the surrounding adverse circumstances.

      A fine write Samer.
      Ah, a picture of a little bit of heaven there! There must be kittens and flowers in heaven - and all creatures.

      • Samer Amin

        Thanks a lot!

        I think whether it is in heaven or on earth, all the creation look wonderful because of the miraculous balance and harmony and functionality.

        I wonder why they always depict the extra-terrestrial beings in cinema industry as distorted and hideous creatures and do not have anything in common with all the beautiful creatures we always see on our planet.

        Maybe this distortion lies deep into the mindset of
        the screen script or something like that.

        'Amidst
        this ocean of despair
        an optimistic sailor
        still strains, desperately
        with his broken oars.'
        a stand alone stanza of humane poetry, in-of-itself...
        thanks for sharing dear Poet
