Beauty Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Beauty

Rating: 5.0


Some say, beauty is but an opinion
Wrapped in wafer thin layers like onion,
Had it been heftier a fact,
It would be e’er the more perfect;
Berthed in beholder’s bias’d eyes it lies,
To say naught of the holder’s eyes;
Yet, light it is that eyes emit,
And heart the fount be to credit,
No wonder a winsome face looks the best
Hovers when beauty’s heart o’er crest;
If or not be it a mere opinion
Discarded as if layers of onion,
And yet, a layer no less onion is,
As man is known by opinions of his!

Thank you dear poet, I think, 'tongue-in-cheek' can one get away with a murder, almost.
