SHE WALKS IN SILENCE
She walks in silence, like a lapping wave
Drowned in chastity and flooded with rave
Holding dear and tight her very beauties
Denying all her gems and rubies
Her powers disabled under the spell
The flame in wouldn’t break out of its shell.
Tempted to trace a humming call of fate
Allured but reluctant to take the bait
The strings of her heart lost their pitch and tone
The clutches of mind hurting to the bone
Untraceable are the paths to no end
Unable to soul unself and ascend
She walks in silence, like a gliding breeze
Fervent rising prayers brought her to her knees
Seeking the blessings of grace, peace and love
If only her pain she could rise above
Nameless beauty would dissolve in her womb
Her wounds.. sins she would carry to her tomb.
Inspired by “She Walks in Beauty” Lord Byron (George Gordon)
This was written by Besma Riabi Dziri
'She Walks in Beauty' describes a speaker's feelings of infatuation,
and love-struck awe at the powerful beauty of a woman. The poem does not depict a
romantic relationship, or a relationship at all, but rather comprises an
illustrious display of obsessive love, and wonder.
While “She Walks in Beauty” primarily focuses on physical beauty, it
also explores the relationship between inner beauty and outer beauty. It
portrays these concepts as closely interconnected. Indeed, the woman's
outer appearance is read as a sign of her inner serenity, peacefulness, and
innocence.
Essentially, the speaker is describing how the beauty of the place where the
woman expresses her thoughts (i.e., her face) indicates the purity of the place
where the thoughts themselves dwell (i.e., her mind). In this regard, the woman's
face symbolizes a relationship between beauty (exterior) and virtue (interior).
