Real Beauty! Poem by Ramesh T A

Distant look enchants the view because going near
It is entirely a different story as in the case of
Painted veil or make up that makes one look beautiful
And also, familiarity breeds contempt as time passes on!

Beauty is an elusive matter and is why it is said that
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder as what is nice
To one need not be so to others also and this is so, for,
One man's food is another man's poison due to diabetes!

All the good things in one only make one beautiful ever,
But not ever skin colour or costume or make up of face;
More than all, love within one's heart only reflects as
Beautiful and pleasing to all instantly in the world...!

Inner beauty of love reflects one as real beauty to all,
But never external makeup and other decorations sure...!
