An Idea of Physical Beauty-Ii

Beauty is next to divinity
That remains in this world.
Now we know nothing of gods
They have retired to heaven.
We find beauty in divinity.
Memory of divinity remains in beauty
One does not find it in flowers
It is left to moth and insects.
One used to talk of inner beauty
But it remains in words only.
Art is naked beauty displayed.
One enjoys beauty by a physical touch
In the face and form of a female.
