DNA

Beautiful people are often bullied for their looks by the jealous.

Your almond shaped 

eyes are smokey

hypnotic pools

of the deepest hues

Swimming in them 

even a quick dip

from a quick glance

is a mesmerising salve

Your cheek bones are high

and pronounced

Your nose classic perches

on a curvaceous philtrum 

Your lips are 

naturally plump and pout 

the most perfect cupid's bow

Your face is almost perfect 

symmetry

People stare ~ because

beauty inspires awe.

So is it your fault you're 

beautiful

Should you be made to feel 

guilty

for having genes which 

mold your countenance

into society's consensus - their idea of

beautiful ?

no !

Aloha Tony,

I loved this one! I think that although outward beauty is a sight to behold, whenever it's matched with inward beauty, there is nothing more stunning and breath taking, whether we're speaking of a male or female, and the viewer can't help but to swoon in their presence.

When you add integrity to that mix, now that is an unbeatable combination.

Just some thoughts that came to mind, as I read through your delightful offering.

Wishing you well...

Alisa ;-)

Aloha dear Alisa.
I hear ya!
I don't think I've met too many that have 'all that going on' sadly, many people I have met and am friends with various combos of those 3 attributes and I wouldn't change them for the world.
Your thoughts are always, always welcome.
Thank you for your visit Alisa.
Best wishes my friend.

This is excellent, deep and filled with wisdom. Beauty is more than what meets the eyes and further more than what someone agrees or disagrees with. Beauty is not bound by one's definition.

[Tony Jordan]

Yes, well said Queen, well said.
Some of the most beautiful women are also the loneliest and their beauty intimidates prospective partners.
Thank you for reviewing this one.

there was a sweet protectiveness in the tone of this. spite is sickening. good poem.

[Tony Jordan]

I tried to be objective but succumbed to a defensive position lol.
Thank you M.P.

[Tony Jordan]

The poet beholds beauty in his mind bringing it out in multitude through pen giving more to the readers eyes and mind. I see a different shade of Tony Jordan in this write.
I like the thought behind the write and the message you have given. I totally concur with this write.
In some cases, beauty even becomes the curse for some girls. This write made me recall those memories where girls had to lose many things on account of their beauty.
Thank you for penning this one.

[Tony Jordan]

So true Bala, physical beauty can be a curse. No-one asks to be born how they look - like depression or happiness, it can be a genetic thing, ergo the title.
Thank you for supporting this one. I have been trying to see beauty from different perspectives.

You are welcome Tony. I love the title and the thought.

A poet with the wisdom of the ages. Sees things in full light and reality. Sheds his wisdom upon gender and genre...:).................

[Tony Jordan]

You're very kind Sami.
I should be as wise as you one day - and as calm, would be my aspiration.

Thank you kindly. You are welcome. ....::::))))
