Defining Beauty

How do you define beauty?

What is beauty?

Something aesthetically pleasing to the eye?

Something that causes butterflies?

Something that attracts, though you don't know why?

Where is beauty?

Does it display on the outside?

Does it stem from the inside?

Does it deteriorate or is it confined?

When is beauty?

Shall it come when funds are high?

Shall it come when land is wide?

Shall it come when ruin is nigh?

Who is beauty?

Is it brought by silk and powder?

Is it brought by color and caliber?

Is it brought by opulence and stature?

Why is beauty?

For the purpose of affiliation?

For the purpose of reproduction?

For the purpose of delectation?

-

Is it something, in every life?

Does it live, where the heart is kind?

Shall it remain, unstirred by time?

Is it brought, by care and favor?

Or for the purpose of unification?

~Hyacinthus

Beauty is ephermal for me but all the deeds it do while existing, sometimes stay immortal! But there are many other valid to invalid theories, also pure definitions upon it.
Am an avid fan of rhyming in poems, and so I loved that you rhymed something meaningful. Enjoyed the read. Be blessed :)

Nicely written! I like the way you speak of the "who, what, where, when and why" of these life situations. Effective in the post! ~Sharon
