Some say, beauty is but an opinion <br />Wrapped in wafer thin layers like onion, <br />Had it been heftier a fact, <br />It would be e’er the more perfect; <br />Berthed in beholder’s bias’d eyes it lies, <br />To say naught of the holder’s eyes; <br />Yet, light it is that eyes emit, <br />And heart the fount be to credit, <br />No wonder a winsome face looks the best <br />Hovers when beauty’s heart o’er crest; <br />If or not be it a mere opinion <br />Discarded as if layers of onion, <br />And yet, a layer no less onion is, <br />As man is known by opinions of his! <br />_________________________________________ <br /> - Tongue-in-cheek | 02.09.12 |<br /><br />Aniruddha Pathak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-313/
