Question: Can we change our minds about beauty!?
Chase the bitter blue
stretch the tawdry skyline
with a gust of night!.
Is it beautiful now,
when you land in the desert sun!?
You have broken the cycle you
are the cycle you
have mended
the dream with only
desire!.

Beauty is a concept -- like poetry!.

EDIT: Concepts: Yes, indeed!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes we change our minds about beauty, as we grow older, because the concept of beauty goes hand-in-hand with the concept of Liking!. If we like chaos, then we 'd beauty in it, as long as it is not an Ordered Chaos!. That is to say, even 'ugliness' may promote a visible amount of 'beauty' and vice versa, and when this happens, our mind about such concepts may change!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love your poem ! I'm not sure if I grasped it the way it was intended!.!.!.!.!.Is it about breaking the "out of this world" spell of that special kind of love, sapping the deliciousness of the mystery, instead leaving only a human desire of another!?

I think your poem is so artful!.

edit: I will not ask for reviews anymore whilst replying!. I did not know this rule, sorry!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Must have a good imagination to do that, and I do!. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and things chage constantly!. So one day it may not seem beautiful, but the next may!. ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

My concept of beauty is it is whatever you want it to be!. Sometimes we have to look for it but it's there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Indeed we can!.Those that seem beautiful to us on the surface can be the most ugly underneath!.
And vice versa!.

I would say yes!. Beauty changes as the observed and observer change,

Since it is in the eye of the beholder, you just need to use a different pair of glasses!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

dreams are beauty when you get up to a sunny day!. my past life is only a dream!. i wake up to a new day full of hope!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
