Beauty Beyond Remarks Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

Beyond the praises and the flattery,
Lies a beauty that's beyond remarks,
Not defined by physicality,
But found deep within the heart's spark.
It's not the perfect curves or skin tone,
That makes one truly beautiful,
But the depth of love that's freely shown,
And the kindness that's always fruitful.
A smile that can light up the room,
Or a gentle touch that brings calm,
A heart that's pure, without any gloom,
That's where true beauty finds its charm.
No amount of makeup or attire,
Can match the beauty that words can't say,
It's the soul that sets hearts on fire,
And leaves a lasting impact each day.
For beauty beyond remarks goes deep,
It's a reflection of one's true self,
And it's not something that one can keep,
But it multiplies when shared with wealth.
So let us not be fooled by the facade,
Of what society deems as fair,
For true beauty can't be bought or bought,
It's a treasure that's oh so rare.
Let us strive to see beyond the words,
And appreciate the beauty within,
For that's where true happiness lies,
In embracing beauty beyond remarks with a grin.
