Beautiful Lie

Beauty always seen by the beholder That’s what I have read and always believed When someone is sad and needs a shoulder Don’t knock them back with words you can’t retrieve They may be plain of face, but pure within Eyes might not sit right or nose all askew Being ugly would you say was a sin Have you ever thought what they think of you So before you say that beautiful lie Put a smile on your face to make it true Look into their eyes and say with a sigh You are so beautiful and I love you Remember beauty fades when of the skin Real beauty is always shining within a shakespearian sonnet dated 10/12/2012

I don't think I've even been lied to that often lol. I like this poem a lot, had to read another sonnet, I seem to be commenting purely on sonnets. Thanks for all of your wonderful comments. This poem reminds me of a Ramon Ayala song lol. He's a famous mexican Songwriter/acordian player. He mother tells him to look for love, but don't look for one too pretty, because it passes with time, look for love. I find it funny, but very real, nice work here.
