Carpe Diem, Inner Beauty

                                                                   

                                                                                  Sharp features
                                                                        none to appreciate inner beauty
                                                                                poor girl in despair.


                                                                                Dark skin, deep eyes
                                                                          looking  for fair, lovely damsel
                                                                              inner beauty ignored,

  1. It's sad those poems as they seem to illustrate what is so common in society, i.e., that people are primarily judged by their looks. I am not perfect; however, knowing that beauty comes from within - and first and foremost in my opinion! - I have the gift of inner seeing, that is, upon one's heart! I posted on March 6, 2012 about that! Seeing One's Heart: http://xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2012/03/perhaps-analogous-to-heart-shaped.html ;) <3

  3. Outer beauty will be always be winning from the inner beauty, but when someone is getting older the outer beauty will fade, but the inner beauty will be still there.

    1. You have very rightly said that in old age outer beauty will no more be there. Inner beauty is permanent.

  4. It's so sad that often it's only outer beauty is the only thing people can see.

    1. Yes Georgia, it is very sad. This is human nature and it is unfortunate.
