Dark Cinnamon Beauty

Inspired by the Beautiful Photo of the Indian girl written July 6 2014

The Breeze  of the wind

plays with her hair.

Look deep into her

Chocolate eyes and you

can see the sunsets dance in

the shimmer of her eyes.

She is a beauty and a love

to hold like a silk rose  yellow

and vibrant.

Lips as soft as petals

to touch.

Beautiful cinnamon dark

skin needs no make up

to say she's beautiful.

Piercing eyes she can

look right through your soul.

Such a Dark Cinnamon

Beauty.

# in this stanza, the repition of the word 'eyes' twice sounded a bit inappropriate,tbh... Perhaps you could change it to "their shimmer" or anything you find suitable :)
#the same comment regarding the fifth stanza- with the word "beautiful"
I'm sorry if my words offended you but it wasn't my intention, I just strongly believe in the importance of constructive criticisms.
Very lovely theme, I adore people who have "their own beauty".... They're just pretty to everyone else, but to specific people,they're absolutely gorgeous. My favorite type of beauty!😍

I don't get offended lot of times I am a laid back Chill soul :) I know you didn't mean it as cruel. Beauty is the heart if it is ugly then there is the and bitterness I see beauty and I see love and all skin color is beautiful to me. Thank you This is how I see her in the Photo even when I look at it.Have always been Fascinated with Beauty as well natural beauty it is what's in the heart that seems more beautiful. No Indian in our family like India. but there's Cherokee Native American on my mother and fathers side of the family so I am dark skinned like my Dad and we don't burn just tan and no one Lebanese in my family but I do know that our Cherokee roots are connected to the Lebanese roots many have thought I look Lebanese. and I have always been fascinated with ones of other cultures have many friends from all over so my life has been filled with culture since a young child. Thank you for your kind review and comments. I really appreciate it. Blessings. Benita/ Kindred poet

Ofcourse I never meant to.... Our job is to help each other improve and not just overlook the flaws within any work and give fake compliments. I always try to be polite and considerate in sharing any suggestions... You are always welcome! True, beauty is from within, but some cases are exceptional,though!💜

I see the attraction, there's another gorgeous photo of a woman's eyes, was on the cover of National Geographic I think.... piercing and just breathtaking. Good to inspired by art and music....always a pleasure.

Beauty is a universal trait. But not all types of beauty are loved.

Quite true. Alas, bitterness has made me ugly. But it's good to know beauty still exists in other places and other people. May it stay that way.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

why do say you're ugly I have never noticed you to be that way. I am glad you Enjoyed this piece. thank you again. Blessings. Benita/ Kindred poet

The poem make you want to meet her, feel her eyes around yours, perhaps blow a kiss across the alleyway and send her flowers in a bouquet of thoughts.

The French Vietnamese women in Vietnam possessed a genuine beauty that was exceptional.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

Were they French and Vietnamese ? only French is French-Canadian in my family. Interesting thought if you're saying they're French and Vietnamese never heard of that.

[Alfred Kukitz]

The French fought in Vietnam before the USA. Subsequently french men and vietnamese women made children.

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

How lovely! I love the natural beauty described in this, you left wonderful imagery in my mind, I don't even want to look at the picture, she has been painted anew with your words. =)

There were a couple of blondes in my past, but the dark cinnamon beauties always appealed the most. Dark skin is prevalent on mother's side, so maybe that has something to do with it.

"Look deep into her

Chocolate eyes and you

can see the sunsets dance in

the shimmer of her eyes."

That's really nice.

i like this display of words painting a portrait of "natural beauty"

too often that kind of beauty is covered up with all kinds of make-up...often because the person does not feel she is pretty enough...but beauty comes from within...and often those who care little about the outside beauty, end up being the prettiest on both accounts...

[Benita-Staebell M - KindredPoet]

Look not with the eyes but with the Heart they say I see beauty where others see ugliness when the person isn't ugly. There was always Beauty and Creativity Blooming in my house as a child. My mother seemly Taught us about true beauty and I think it comes from the heart not from what you cover up so many cover up there pain with make up and try in hide it but bare skin with out make up or Tattoos and Jewelry so much of that hides the beauty and most look at what is what's on the out side I am teaching my son this too so he knows to find inner beauty in a woman and not only if she is beautiful on the out side but inside is where it lays love and kindness I love the heart kindness love I see beauty when I look at things like I do if I see love :) You're are very correct my friend. Thank you for your kind review and comments. I really appreciate it.Blessings. Benita/ Kindred
