My leper friend <br />Your beauty shines <br />like a diamond <br />Exquisitely radiant <br />in the heart of a hard blackish stone <br />so faraway, so hidden <br />not to be seen <br />by superficial eyes of the people around <br />since you are truly blessed <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />This poem is dedicated to one of my life teachers, Mr jatin Hazarika who clarified the conception of 'Beauty' in my mind. <br />'beauty is anything you desire'<br /><br />shirin sheikhi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-318/
