The Finest of Beauty is Not But Skin Deep

True beauty is much more than an image... it is feeling and so many things that are untouchable not seen with the naked eye!

 

Some ignorant, shallow do truly believe;

beauty is seen and is only skin deep.

If that is their meaning and only truths;

unhappiness harvested they truly do reap.

 

For the purest and truest of beauty;

is not just a mere image our eyes behold or keep.

There are so many untouchable components;

our hearts yearn, cherish and weep.

 

The Finest of Beauty is Not But Skin Deep;

much emotion it swings in our own very existance.

You can believe what you whatever you like;

inner wars wage with fierce futile resistance.

 

It may be found in all five of our senses;

we all have these precious gifts given since birth.

Discover more freely of your purpose;

you'll find a much higher and happier self-worth.

 

 

Many judge the objects and people around us without using all senses. If you look at a rose it is beautiful.. some smell beautiful as well.. many types you can not pick up barehanded without gloves due to piercing thorns but we still appreciate the beauty of it even though it caused us pain.  People are the same.. try to remember that which was beautiful about a person and not what caused pain... and also remember that real beauty comes from within our hearts!!!

how lovely how nice,how very clever..
i see beauty in a look ,in a smile in some kind words to make me lose my mind
beauty can come in a great character,in her style,in the way she moves
the way she reacts,and a soul that shows so much feelings and kindness and character
in the way she shows her clever mind,and sweet words..
these are wonderful words..

It is true that beauty is more than skin deep and that the easiest to see of beauty is the skin and the hardest to see is the heart. When one projects beauty from inside of them and out to the world they are like a light and people are drawn to them "law of attraction" regardless of how their skin looks.
I love poems like this, excellent write~

I loved this Lisette! I think its often told that" beauty is only skin deep."
but your poem goes way deeper than that. And we are told by the greats
"If you prick us,do we not bleed?" but still deepers this one goes........"Self Worth"

thanks for sharing I loved this.

a truly beautiful write. i agree. a person's soul, their heart, their humanity is what makes a person beautiful. sure there are those who are beautiful to look at, & there's nothing wrong with admiring that. but eventually outer beauty always fades, & what is left in the end? i love the message you give here. look inside yourself, find your own inner beauty by finding your purpose, confidence. a truly gorgeous & inspirational write.

You hit the nail on the head with this one. Beauty is many things and those that go no deeper than the skin misses out on so much. Wonderful write. Phantom......

I agree with Rock and Roll Cowboy, this I couldn't have expressed this better, an awesome write.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I couldn't have expressed it better... the inner beauty for me can effect how I see a person on the outside... when the heart is big it makes the glow of a woman's features more colorful and vibrant...

For the purest and truest of beauty;
is not just a mere image our eyes behold or keep.
There are so many untouchable components;
our hearts yearn, cherish and weep.

my favorite stanza in a masterpiece of what true beauty is.

Very lovely & beautiful, true beauty comes from within.

I agree...true beauty is within...not what you see...Very good :)
