Decore

As beauty fades from something
we dress it up and worship what once existed there

Beauty is the most beautiful
with no complement

Beauty is complete

and needs no addition
needs no silks
no colours
no rituals
no words

Without her
we worship only decore

While trying to describe something like beauty in essence, I'd say, even more important to try and find a small number of words to capture it.

Its fleeting and maybe it never lasts,
but it's a good exercise
in any poem or text we try to write :)

So true. Beauty is not found in trappings and decor, but rather is in itself more than able to stand alone. A lovely write.
