Past Beauty Poem by Colleen Courtney

I think you are still beautiful, your poems are the witness. A Poet wrote a poem True Beauty. I read the poem in my college. He concludes A smooth and stead fast mind, Gentle thoughts and calm desires, Kindle nee'r dying fires.

The real beauty lies inside......in-depth beauty barely tapped............and what is mirror for.........it is standing there forever portraying ugliness and attractiveness, reflection of what you look like but has it got the ability to measure your inner beauty? a nice poem with a nice reflection of self..................

Everything remains inside our mind. A beautifully expressed poem with a thought from the core of heart. Thanks for sharing.

Nice poem about a horrible problem. I sounds, at least, as if you are right in the middle of a depression. If you can afford it I recommend going to a shrink especially if someone you know can recommend a good one. Above all, remember it's only a phase and you will come out of it, however permanent it may seem now. It might help you to jot down on paper all the good things that you have done, or that have happened to you in your life, to balance against the apparently negative experiences you have had recently. We must always take our past into account when confronting present difficulties. And of course the future may hold many joys which you cannot imagine at the moment because of your depression. I hope that writing poetry may help you through your troubles.

I think this poem is so sad. I can't help but wonder the reasons why life sometimes takes a certain road. But also is there still hope and can we ever go back. Well done Colleen, I love your poetry so far.

I like these rhyming lines about the lost beauty of youth. Michael Walker.

If looks are everything then when they are gone, what is left? This is a really good poem cause it's sending an important, clear message in the best way: without saying Here is a lesson to be learnt. It eases into the mind through a relaxing and enjoyable setting-a poem- and makes the readers think about it without putting up their defenses.

I love this poem it says so much about how life and time can change you and how sometimes you just can't recognise the person in the mirror. It speaks volume about life and is a very powerful poem. Reminds me of my poem Ode

I love this poem and I is so similar to my poem ODE read it and you would see same theme just different style. Good work keep writing

I think this poem is very well written. Beauty of our body is transient but no one can destroy the beauty of our soul I think you will love my poem, ugly (80)
