Beauty


Beauty is in the eyes
It is in the sweetness of your words
The loveliness of your smiles
The purity of your virtues
And triumph over your trials

Beauty is not physical,
It is an emotion which can be felt maybe from within
Courage, Honor and Charity
Are all beauty to me

An old woman’s wrinkles from her smiles; beauty
A baby in his mother’s arms; beauty
Two lovers locked in a kiss; beauty

But the world lies about beauty,
Hunger, Death and Despair,
It is us that challenge beauty,
We must overcome the ugliness of our pretty faces,
Stop playing this Masquerade
Realize that beauty lies in saving and praying
Rather than war and destroying
There is no glory in spreading innocent blood,
There is no sacrifice in doing away with love,

Beauty is in the eyes of all of us,
We are the beholders,
The holders of this world,
The world is beautiful,
And beautiful are we.

  1. This poem is beautiful! It is so opposite of many poems that talk about aesthetics only. You create scenes that I can see in my mind. Yay! Keep writing! :)
