BeautyA Poem by JessyBeauty is not in the eye of the beholder It is held in the heart of the oppressed Of those wronged by fate And cast out by the powerful Beauty is the absence of power Beauty is not the sun on a rainy day, but the thunder that comes first It's the arrow of cupid that strikes you, even when you only appreciate the flowers you lay your eyes on when it hits Beauty is love Not the cuddling Not the kissing Not the touching Beauty is the lack of sleep from snoring And the battle for forgiveness when mistakes are made Beauty is the paint left behind on your fingers after a masterpiece is created The hard work behind what is held by the eye of the beholder © 2014 Jessy |
