The Eye Of The Beholder Poems - Poems about The Eye Of The Beholder

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder
I appear ugly when alone I look normal in company Self-loathing needs no embrace Rather than scoring myself I'm ugly prettiness wronged I’m shocked by my beauty Again and again, till I'm cuts When each slice is mystery The clue to beauty's murder Is finding how lovely I was If everyone is like me then Who then is ugly like me? When you leave, I'm homely The less...

In the Eye of the Beholder
I have taken pictures Of a perfect summer's day; Flowers, alive and new, in spring; An elephant, majestic and proud, staring at me. I have witnessed A robin standing curiously in the fresh snow; A blackbird feeding her young; The dew on the grass on a crisp autumn morning; Dogs running wildly and happily in a field. But none have been more beautiful Than you...

Beauty In the Eye of the Beholder
Beauty in the eye of the beholder Rare trees and abandoned homes Where doors are full of bullet holes And the wicked sun tries to dye the paint On the walls that smell like a salty water Of the place where mermaids sang to Ulysses. Beauty in the eye of the beholder Traffic jams giant malls toxic environment Everyone is in a hurry Even the...

Heard it said, “beauty's in the eye of the beholder” My eyes see much beauty, sometimes lose composure Get all wiggly It's a conspiracy To trap us guys, it easily causes overexposure...

We See What We Want To See White lines carelessly scribbled oblique For those who believe, a crucifix unique Amidst this domain, beauty fills empty space Wings of an angel, profile of a face A bold, immense mammoth, a fierce dinosaur Their presence once solid, but now metaphors A heart, though misshapen, its meaning quite clear One’s lover must now be the omniscient...

The Eye of the Beholder
Those eyes that can reflect heavens on earth, turning earth expression into constant birth. Pilgrimages to You from within as servant, sacred dwellings of worship and its current. Compassionate visions radiate in true ideal, provided natures phenomena and eternal. Seeing flower footprints as godly dancing steps, veneration of space as formless love effects. Immensity of celestial majestic display, presence without doubt from Your heart...

Untidy House
UNTIDY HOUSE Untidy house! Round and round Racing ‘round like headless fowl Cleaning, cleaning frenzy is the go, Guests are arriving nearing so House of daily living though Is not what they want to see? All spic-n-span is not of daily grind. So your visiting folk Are introduced into a world Of a falsehood here But for them all they want to see Is You! The person of...

When I sit and watch TV I am bombarded by perfection… Everybody has bright white teeth and a silky smooth complexion. They live in enormous houses in the country or by the shore all decorated by the finest designers in luxurious decors. They drive cars with foreign names meant to thrill, amaze…astound and when not behind the wheel they have...

Biological motivations vitiate. Episodic bursts discharge it’s your opinion. Alternate spells imply. Unexpected whirls scatter. Tall lilies beat it’s your opinion. Youthful geniuses blow. Basic goals Evident truths it’s your opinion. Oral perversions speaking pretty words out. Light passes roost looking over your shoulder Divine communion inner spirit. Empirical golden truths it’s your opinion. Rough real motivations beauty in the eyes of the beholder 1/7/20 Written words by James...
