Ilya Shambat Poet Iambic Pentameter

I Died For Beauty

I died for beauty – twas my choice

To end my life this way;

In every note of her voice

Was universe at play:


Twas sparkling, shining, shimmering,

Twas elegant and bright,

In it the world was glimmering

As I then held her tight.


I died for beauty – as I did

My lifeforce to her went

And from the shackles it her freed

To live by her intent:


She needed lifeforce to be strong

And then to carry on

With universe to get along

And sing again her song.


I died for beauty, so it lives,

Is by me fertilized,

Shimmers and glimmers and conceives

And is now realized,


And though I died, what it gave birth

Was better than was I,

And now is set upon her course

To grow and multiply.
