You are the Definition of Beauty

by Dr. Ratan Bhattacharjee



You are, like a blooming rose Your hair, your eyes and your straight-built nose The moment I think of you, you say, Hi The free birds chirp and leap in my mind They dip their wings in the orange red seas And they fly in the azure sky. When I think of you beautiful Belle The roses of my thoughts all bloom in red With the green leaves to give them shade And you are very much nigh. When I think of you beautiful angel My dreams keep me awake for ever I long for Freedom as Mandela dreamt of it Or Martin Luther King dreamt of it for the Blacks My wings are clipped and my feet are tied When you go away and bid me, Goodbye. I remember your light steps Your dark night like hair all over your forehead Your eyebrows and your angelic cheeks But you always felt shy. On the surf tormented shore I now stand I hold within my hand grains of the golden sand I miss you so much and see above the crimson sky And love to see most myself in your eye. I saw beauty in the river kissing its shingles I saw all beauty of earth in the field of rye What is beauty? Where lies beauty It's not in diamond, not in emerald, but in Ruby You yourself are the definition itself Your beauty is Truth, believe me, I never lie, I don’t believe, I never will believe, Beauty is born only in the viewer’s eye.
