Countless are beauties <br />To suit every taste <br />One Venus, one goddess <br />And many an angel <br />Seen, vied and gloated at <br />But! Lo! What is beauty? <br /> <br />For one fair skin is lovely <br />to another, black is bounty <br />But blonde is gorgeous for many <br /> <br />Lively smile, lotus eyes, long legs <br />Or total comely structure! <br />Ah! What is beauty? Where is beauty? <br /> <br />Theories were floated! Thoughts purveyed! <br />Frustrated hearts even wailed <br />That beauty is nothing but skin deep <br /> <br />Descriptions fail! Debates prove futile <br />Nor any norms dare narrate! <br />Every epicurean tumbles in vain <br /> <br />Where lies the real beauty <br />In embellished body or <br />In an unblemished mind <br /> <br />Why in Theresa’s gentle amble <br />Dazzles a beautiful guardian angel? <br />How the bare-mouthed Mahatma <br />By one pure smile of his <br />Geared millions <br />To bare their lives <br />For their mother land <br /> <br />Discern and discover my friends <br />Beauty mundane! Beauty divine? <br />Beauty haughty! Beauty holy? <br />Learn seeing through earthly bodies <br />Deep into the intrinsic <br />Where you find beauty authentic <br />All that stares at you <br />Is just cosmetic!<br /><br />sathya narayana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-77/
