Beauty Pride.. Poem by Afzal Shauq
Beauty Pride..
These beautiful people
lost to beauty's value
fearing the night
prolonging the summer
crushing hearts
like the toys..
So cruel are they
in their behavior
while
stepping themselves too
rapidly towards the past

A nice poem and a wonderful theme to tackle...the criteria of beauty...I invite u to read my poem: The Beauty Curse'. Regrads.
The title had impressed me, first, and reminded me about a similar thing, perhaps, beauty when goes with pride, in a poem of Heinrich Heine....'Passionate summer, on your cheeks. Freezing winter, in your heart. But one day, oh dear, winter will be on your cheek, summer in your heart.' Do I understand right what the poem mentioned? :)
