Beauty Is...

Beauty Is...

There is an eternal, an everlasting, a forever that truly transcends time
Something so pure and simple but we are too naïve to see
In our eyes, the perfect 10, the body to die for, and the cliché “Hot” that draws us in
But when time fades what are you left to see

 

The perfect 10 that was so fake that time just took everything away
The body so bangin' that you couldn’t take your eyes off
Now just sags and droops like nothing was ever there but the clothes they took off
That cliché “Hot” now seems more distant than the stars that hover over us

 

So shallow the heart, but now what is left for your eyes and your heart
To understand is to gain and to gain is to have forever
True beauty is what will lead your heart and make you stay
Look for the forgotten and even you will understand what it means to have everything
To finally understand what beauty is

 

Beauty is that sense of humor that although corny at times, still makes you smile each time
When even the dumbest joke is met with a giggle and a smirk
When acting like kids isn’t seen as immature, but as the escape from reality
When that one small laugh makes you understand
Why in their eyes you are never seen as dumb where you stand

 

Beauty is that personality that never grows old
The everyday spent but you never disappoint
The times when stuck up and conceited are never a fore thought
When every new face you meet falls head over heels with her heart
That is when you know those conversations will never be stale or dull from the start

 

Beauty is the intelligence even greater than your own
When politics and news bring excitement far greater that cheap booze
When arguments are not arguments but steady debates
When you’re secure enough to admit that you want someone smart or smarter than you
That is when the days can pass and even you will not want to let go

 

Beauty is the friend that grows into someone more
When a simple love continues to grow as days fly by
When you aren’t so blinded by what you should be and understand what you are
When you can see each other as more like the best instead of the good
That is when true love blossoms and grows

 

Beauty is more than just the beautiful, deadly eyes
Beauty is more than the smile that you can’t seem to forget
Beauty is more than the body of a goddess or the legs with no ends
It is the faith that the internal is what never changes with time
To understand that even when age diminishes all that we have to see
The greater power of beauty within continues to make love grow and be

 

An everlasting that has no bounds
The forever that has no ends
The true beauty that transcends all that is
The eternal love for what’s within that makes all else seem meaningless in your hearts
That is what true beauty really is
That is what will never fade even as time flies by
That is the beauty that transcends the test of time

gorgeous. such amazing imagery here. very deep honest & meaningful piece, that i think every1 can agree on. i recently read a quote 'do you love me because i'm beautiful or am i beautiful because you love me'. i think you've answered that question well. the outer is only a shell & will fade away. but inner beauty never does. intelligent & well written.

True, every word!! I loved this because of its underlying call for people to WAKE UP!! GET REAL!! You have nailed the true beauty of deep love and understanding, your skill as a writer shows your reader a new way of looking at love...the love between two people in love, plastic surgeons can't manufacture what you have on this page.
Brilliant...
Cheers,

Helen :)

You absolutely know the true meaning of beauty. To love and admire does not require movie star or model features. If you love for these qualities the love will fade as quickly as the picturesque looks. To look deep within someone and find that common spark and to be able just to sit within the same room and find comfort with their presence is love. Love does not desert when things and looks change. It never notices the changes and the face and body look the same year after year. The old woman still see the face of the young man that married her and the old man still kisses the young firm lips of his bride. They do not see the lines, crows feet, lumps, bumps or sags. They only see the love that brought them to one another. Great inspirational writing that provokes much thought. Keep that wise pen moving. It has a lot to say..
