Title : The Face of Beauty
They say Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
For even the blind can feel the glow of your face
The warmth spreads from my ears to my lips
It makes me want to hold them in a kiss
They say true love lasts forever
Until star-crossed lovers miss their chance again
And fate decides when love can bridge destiny
Making slaves of all the mortals, living or dead
They say once bitten, twice shy
But they forget to mention that persistence is key
When searching for everlasting happiness which is free
Only if your contentment lies in simple wants
They say never bite off more than you can chew
They forget how big an appetite envy has
And when the jealous laugh at how hard we fall
We survive knowing that we have won after all

READING NOTES
First Stanza
They say Beauty is in the eyes of the
beholder
For even the blind can feel the glow of
your face
The warmth spreads from my ears to my
lips
It makes me want to hold them in a kiss
Although she thinks she isn’t beautiful, her love thinks that she is the most beautiful woman in his world. All he wants is to embrace and kiss her. If you treat a person like they are your world, it is the most wonderful feeling if they also feel the same about you.
Second Stanza
They say true love lasts forever
Until star-crossed lovers miss their chance again
And fate decides when love can bridge destiny
Making slaves of all the mortals, living or dead
True love is meant to be two parts of one soul finally reconnecting and becoming one. Sometimes fate plays a cruel game and causes such lovers to continuously miss meeting each other in each lifetime. Then one life these two pieces of the same puzzle find a moment in time when they do meet. Such meetings have inspired wars and history is written around the love stories of our ancestors. However don’t keep waiting for your soulmate because they don’t walk around with your name tattooed on their forehead. Sometimes your soulmate could be right next to you waiting for a chance that your hearts might recognise each other. It takes time to realize the truth. Do so by nurturing your existing reality instead of chasing a fairytale.
Third Stanza
They say once bitten, twice shy
But they forget to mention that persistence is key
When searching for everlasting happiness which is free
Only if your contentment lies in simple wants
So you got dumped! Should you go hide in a cave , never to love again for the rest of your life? Of course not! Just because you can’t find the correct fit with the person who just broke up with you or vice versa, don’t for the love of God give up and stop trying. If you want a happily ever after, you are going to have to put more effort into finding your forever partner. However that being said, nothing can last forever, eventually we all must die alone . Remember that animated film “Up” ? Oh how wonderful to have lived your entire life loving the person who also loves you equally. However how sad it is to have to watch your lover and life partner die before you. Everlasting happiness is simple if you are the kind to be content with the simple things in life. You will never be truly happy until you are first and foremost Content . Do not confuse complacency with contentment. We should set high standards for our lives so we will continue to strive and make life meaningful.
Fourth Stanza
They say never bite off more than you can chew
They forget how big an appetite envy has
And when the jealous laugh at how hard we fall
We survive knowing that we have won after all
Love knows no bounds and Jealousy knows even less. When People who harbour secret hate for you because they are envious of your life, forgive them. But be careful because such people and I have met a few have the ability to not only cover your life, but at the same time take the time and effort to actually hurt you by doing things to ruin your happiness. Such people will only be happy when you are down and out and it’s scary what lengths they can go to ensure you are ruined. Just remember to stay strong and survive because survival is the best way to win in the end.
