Time is a barrier between his body and beauty.
The beauty he wants, like a transient rainbow after thunderstorm,
Uncaring and cruel
But timeless, he knows what it takes
To beat time.
Like skeletons of the royals, he knows the smell of decadence.
He knows the instant thrill of death.
Destruction and its consequence take up his life.
He succeeds in the end.
The beauty only he knows.
