True Beauty

True beauty lies not in exquisite eyes,
I crave it not in Rainbow-robed skies...
Like flames in the wind, it will fade away,
nature nutures dewdrops, dross and clay.
True beauty is not in luminous lips...
and certainly not hidden in haughty hips.
I see true beauty in the words you said...
it hails from your humble heart and head:
I see amazing allure in love laced atmosphere...
the serenity I feel whenever you are here.
Some see true beauty in flirty fraternity;
they reach for roses with romantic rarity.
I am not just a beholder but also a believer, 
I taste the truth to be truly free forever. 
Some say that beauty is in the beholder's eyes
but true beauty can only be seen by the wise.
Some folks are melted by the sun at noon,
others fall for the ravishing glow of the moon.
Your beauty is like ABC my love:
You act, behave and care like a dove 
Your aura makes me fly beyond the blue...
more than face and figure; timeless and true.
This is for you my beloved beauty;
a sweet sister in light, love and loyalty.
