Beautiful Creatures

The golden sun lit faces 
The beautiful ebony faces 
The buttery and rich green hearts 
The burnt and distorted hearts 

Beauty in the eyes of the beholder 
And as such, no feminine subject to ugliness 
Formed in the manner of goddesses 
Olympus stares on in envious anger 

The creator perfecting the face 
Forgot to perfect the hearts 
For he was overwhelmed 
By the beauty of his creation 

Having lived in this Earth 
I have learnt of myself 
That all are beautiful 
Yet, all are not beautiful

Whoa! Hold the horses. Inner beauty, never described better, sweet perspective.
