Perception's Unblemished Aura

Plumes of matchless purity
bedecked in silent, stunning effulgence,
array in the mesmerizing gape of elegance
perception's unblemished aura.

Alabaster tinctures,
fate's gift from the womb,
beguile in their angelic facsimile.

Breathless beauty blown by nature's breath
brings its scent in spellbound charms,
but its aroma summons a blend of reactions,
turning toxic as envy's stench
instead of fragrant as appreciation's incense.

Feathers of outer opulence
never a glimpse at the splendor within,
where words uttered
expose the echoes of majesty in the soul
or the pungent perfume of hate's ugly wind.
