i accept you for all your imperfections in my eyes you are perfection the seen and unseen if only you had my eyes placed them in those big brown pupils then you would see what i see forget what others see i do not care about pink pimples, blemishes, stretch marks, nor the love handles you are a unique fragrance invisible to those who choose what they see but i see beyond your image so you're visible to me i know your heart is not red, it's burgundy - but so is everybody's and we all beat the same sometimes slowly but mine beats rapidly when you glance at me i accept you for all your scars for they are a part of me as mine are to you together our wounds heal The Silent One Simple Musing 2 September 2020

The media puts much pressure on the idea of perfection and beauty. Many do not like or accept themselves because of that and people being cruel has a very negative and wounding impact, well written SO, Emilia : )

Seeming perfection lusts after perfection than throws away what fades. They themselves will scar but they’ve gained no friends. Those of us who see beauty far deeper than any perfection can deliver are blessed with beauty beyond the reach of kings. A lovely write you have delivered on our mutual imperfections!

"You are a unique fragrance invisible to those who choose what they see", says so much. The eyes of love are kind. Healing wounds together. Beautiful sentiments beautifully stated. Congrats on your POTD honour today, SO ~ John

Congratulations SO on your POTD. Your message is definitely not silent for those who see each person as a unique gift of God - each person through the eyes of their creator. Your conclusion, "together our wounds heal" is profound and deeply compassionate! All the best.

Congratulations on your POTD win. "Wonderful" They say, do not judge a book by it's cover. So you should not judge people by their cover. Some of my best friends others did not want as a friend. Enjoy your win and day................

Well penned, it's beauty of heart and soul that matters.... Body is a temporary thing, it has to lose beauty tomorrow or may be day of tomorrow. What remains behind is a heart, that ought to be beautiful. The pure the heart, the attractive the person.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So true is this statement. One should look over the imperfections, as beauty comes from within- which then shines outward. I see you used lowercase here. I do that with many of my poems, as it is like a whisper upon the page. ~ Brandy
