Unconventional Beauty

Beauty

 

It is the childish birthmark upon the line of the jaw

The golden hues of teddy-bear hair where

Weak sunlight shines at just the right moment.

The delightful curve of the button nose as

Bold colours dance upon her eyes.

 

It is the delicate arch of collarbone just visible

Under the cream-and-roses skin

The river of gold and red and burnt orange strands through

The afternoon haziness of late summer sun like

Fire in the wind.

 

Beauty is the sweep of dark feathers brushing cheek and eye

The feline features of face framed with cherry locks

The yellow ochre of freckles dappled across the apples of cheek.

It is the graceful contours of lip, the crease

of her eye where sunny laughter reigns.

 

Beauty.

    Welcome to MPS, florence!
    I do like your beautifully written poem. It is all good, but I just love 'the crease of her eye where sunny laughter reigns'!

      Thank you fredpeyer. It means a lot that you'd taken the time out of your day for the encouragement of strangers, truly a good person to the core. Sorry it's taken so long to reply. Have a wonderful evening.

        Thank you for your welcome, Brian. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Have you ever heard of a silent lover? We all have them. Remember that.
        Yours with great respect, florence

          I wish someone would describe me like that. lol. No, but what you say is true. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and therefore, no one can say you aren't beautiful. Everyone is unique, and special in their own way. I really like this. 🙂
