A beautiful one and a beautiful two.
Beautiful one must not know of beautiful two.
Their lives are untold.
My lies must not unfold.
My secrets must be kept.
My lies must be swept,
Under the rug, hidden in time.
Lost there to hide my crime.
Beautiful one is like a dream.
She is number one, so it would seem.
Her hair is silver, but once was gold.
Once she was young, but now so old.
Beautiful two, Beautiful two.
My heart throbs for beautiful two.
Black hair like the night.
So, young and pure. So, full of light.
Beautiful one so bitter, so cold.
Beautiful two so lovable, so bold.
Between the two I can not choose.
For neither I want to loose.
Keeping them both is playing with fire.
Keeping them both is what I desire.
These things I have said.
These things I keep in my head.
I must make a choice.
A choice to silence my voice.
Beautiful one or beautiful two.
Oh, so beautiful the both of you.
With much thought and vision.
With much deliberation, I have a decision.
To choose a beautiful one of a beautiful two.
With a broken hearted beautiful one, I choose a beautiful two.

“Her hair is silver, but once was gold.” -This line is my favorite. I love how it shows the passing of time.
Thank you. Glad you like it.
I love the story this poem is telling. If I am correct, this is a person who is going between a spouse and a side-chick or dude, and is contemplating which to go for. I consider a poem good when I read it the second time and it means even more. This poem did that for me. I love the repetition of the word “beautiful” which says that both are wonderful because they serve different purposes. I’m assuming one is older and “beautiful two” is the vibrant one.
I might be wrong, but it’s poetry… Right? Everything is up for interpretation.
You are absolutely correct with your interpretation. Basically he has been with beautiful one for a long time. He loves her, but things aren’t great. Beautiful two has come along and brought happiness back to his life and he doesn’t want to lose that either, but ultimately has to choose. I am pleased that you liked it and even more so that you read it twice. Thank you.
The poem depicts the conflict,dilemma he is confronted with , very well. Words speak for themselves driving the reader to contemplate the outcome.Well done.
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
So, young and pure and full of light. Such a good description.
