A Truly Beautiful Woman
There are very few women in the world
who have been truly beautiful. Very few.
When you look for that beautiful woman
you must look deeper then her physical
beauty. You must look past her many physical
attributes, past the shape of her body
the curve of her hip and the way that she
responds to pleasure. Past even her attentiveness
to your needs, her response to your advances.
You must look deeper inside.
When you look at her mind, you must see the beauty of
her intellect, the power of her mental essence,
the love that she radiates, and that special
person that she is.
But, even that is not deep enough.
You must look to her personality, that which has
been forged through the fires of life, the
rigors of hardships, and the pain of physical
challenges. That personality which reflects
in her eyes, and will glow with its shining life.
It will be like a star, that in the evening filament
twinkles and the humor of her personality will
flicker into your awareness with joyous abandon.
But, even that is not deep enough.
You must pass even her personality to reach into
her heart. Her heart must beat with a passion,
she must pulse with love. Her blood must flow
carrying to her fingertips the messages
of her love. Written in tender touches for you alone.
Even that is not deep enough to discover the truly
beautiful person.
To be truly beautiful, to really surpass all others,
you must glance into her soul. Surrounded by her aura,
cradled in her essence, this is the place of true beauty.
Its reflection sharper then the calmest waters of a fountain.
A soul of true spirituality. Its here that beauty is truly
found. Forever tranquil, in the endless memories that
each time you meet her impress themselves into your heart.
.

I wrote this poem about Margareth Peggy Demery. A truly beautiful woman. Like all truly beautiful women, she inspires all men to be more then they really are and more then they otherwise could ever be.

To be truly beautiful, to really surpass all others,
you must glance into her soul.
Amen. This is a beautiful poem. A loving tribute.
So many things about us as simple man and woman...I think we tend to look past that.
much love,

An Abundant Beauty My Friend!
Like sweet tears of joy, carrying a hope of wholesomeness, and greater truth.
A glimpse into the soul of a heart, of treasure ... the finest gold.
To write something of such beauty, the quiet thought that was taken, is the mainspring of your accomplishment, that has in my heat, turned to the purest gold.
A real vision of gold my friend ... A vision of pure gold.
God bless and keep you, and may peace forever be ... what you claim.

Thank you James
A very nice comment. My best bro!

This is a poem about beauty, that in and of itself conveys sentiments that could only be described as beautiful.
-

Wow Steve. Ty Bro! Nice of you.

-
-
lol, thank you. Of course.
-
-
Wow..
Words cannot express how I felt while reading your poem, and the true meaning that lingers long after being read. This was truly a beautiful dedication, and at the same time, an inspiration for everyone to appreciate their loved ones. This left me breathless.
Amazing write & congrats on all the trophies won.. so well deserved.
Best of luck & thanks for entering

She certainly was a beautiful woman. I miss her.

Thank you Roze.

Thank you!

I do so appreciate your comments. Thank you. -
I agree.
She reminds me of the actress Nancy Grahn and this is truly a wonderful tribute to her. I am sure that she appreciated your loving portrait of her and I am glad you entered.
-
There are many gold and many silver ..what else can I say that this is a gem indeed..just a wonderful work written by the deep of the heart..a great work ..
-
-
Thank you.
-
-
ahh this is so sweet. beauty is never skin deep, I really do not like people who are like that and can not see beyond the outer beauty.
-
this is such a beautiful poem full of love, you are a very intelligent man to write such a beautiful piece like this, i feel deminished by this wonderful poem. it is such a prise to find a truly beautiful woman, i am lucky to have one!
-
-
No need to feel that way. In love is inspiration. Take that moment of reflection where your alone and thinking of her and compose a poem. Find a place where you can concentrate. I choose to sit by the sea and listen to the waves pounding the shore line rocks. On the tip of that Jetty I composed this poem. But, like I always tell people, it was her...not me that really was the inspiration. Good Luck to you. I would love to read yours someday.
-
-
to truly know a woman you must be allowed inside, for cradled deep, within is the essences of her being...from the tiny smile to twinkle in her eye, the passion in her finger tips to the laughter she carries around...sighs...your words are beautiful and lay so softly upon my heart...niaish for sharing her with me
-
-
Twice now you've used "niaish", yet, as I explore the meaning of the word, I'm unable to find a match other then losely "thank". Is this correct?
-
-
"The best things in life are not things." You've caught with such grace the equipollence of beauty in a woman. A lovely, lovely read. There is tremendous radiance expressed in her likeness. I am sorry she has passed. Your tribute is as exquisite.... ~Karen
-
A lovely paen to this woman. I'm glad you met this wonderful person.
-
Wow...this is really touching. It reminds me of the following, "do not let your adorning be external, the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold or the putting on of fine clotes, but let you adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." This is a quote from 1 Peter 3 in the Holy Bible. I really like your piece...and I enjoyed reading your dedication in the author's notes. One quick little thing, somewhere in the middle, shinning should be shining. You double the consonate when you have a short vowel...sorry, it's the teacher talking!! Good luck, the piece deserves a win.
-
-
Thank you
Appreciate the teacher in you!
-
-
I do believe this is one of the finest pieces of poetry I've ever read
You described TRUE beauty in all its' splendor and for that, I commend you highly!
I wish you the very best of luck in this contest!
Bravo and kudos to you! -
I loved the layering of how beauty can be measured. I loved the flow of how you took me, the reader, further and further into what truly makes up the beauty behind the eyes and smile. Great job, good luck.
Justin -
Everything you speak of in this poem I can clearly see in Margareth's eyes. My words truly fail me in how perfectly you have captured true love. If only more of us could see and feel this way. It is in some way how women come to view other women easier than men and yet it is a infactically, chosen, unconditional love. You have intertwined spirit, soul, female and male and made this woman (me) believe that real love is alive and being shared whether I see or it not. This is a stunning, deep write thank you for your entry. I was also touched by every single word on your page..I cried...I simply cried for many reason.
-
-
Loving her
...was my privilage and pleasure. -
Thank you
Unfortunately, no matter how well I wrote about her, I could not stop cancer from taking her from me. If only words could cure. Now I'm sure she is in a better place and still as beautiful as ever, forever.

Many browsers do not support the same windows that we do. They scroll down, and often off the page and so the title is not visible to them. I put the title in the poem to support those browsers. I don't always do it, because I forget sometimes. (smile.) -
This is truly beautiful....thanks for the entry!!!

I love this poem! They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When it comes to beauty, you are gifted with 20/20 vision!

Thanks for you comment. She was truly a beautiful woman.

Thank you for entering my ever so humble little contest I enjoyed the read!
-
I love the poetic proseness of this piece. I also like that a guy is pointing out it's not just about looks, or about sex appeal or anything like that, there's inner beauty and there's beauty in words. Not that I'm being sexist, but its a sensetive issue and I wish more men would understand it.
-
What a truly beautiful and tender piece of
poetry. This is the definition of a real
woman, for there are many layers and a good
man will see that and love each part of her.
great job and good luck in the contest. -
This is very beautiful. Thank you so much for entering =]
-Courtney -
you took my heart and made me cry.. the honor that this woman must feel to have this written for her..so beautiful and complete . You know what a woman wants to be it takes time and growth and life oh oh oh it is perfect it is.. she must be so special God Bless.

-
Thank you
I find it hard to read this poem as I was truly in love with Peg. But, she has passed to better place from cancer and I can only hope to one day meet her again.
-
-
This was completely great.
Fantastic write indeed.
Thanks for entering my contest.
..Simply Me♥ -

A gold trophy
Thank you Warrior Eagle. I'm honored by the win and your comments. Peg has moved on because of cancer, but I will always love the memories I have of her.

I was looking at the contest poems, and I meant to click on the next poem, but I clicked on the remove a poem instead. I am very sorry. I hope that you will re-enter it in my contest.
-
This is truly a good piece. I don't know much else to say, especially since i've no idea who this woman is, but your devotion to her is amazing. I wish that everyone could read this, because it shows that beauty really is more than skin deep. Thank you for writing it.

Dear poet,I do not know the Lady to which you refer sao beautifully within your poetry,but I felt warmer for having read about her.How adequately and aptly you describe the essence of the spirit,that which bouys the very existence.
Of course the physical attraction captures the attention,but if there is no more than a pretty picture it will not captivate as the the essence of this shining star does.
We are attuned to appreciating the visual as human beings and we make many judgements based on that,but as the late great Helen Keller said "Beauty is not something that can be seen or heard but is felt with the heart"
Well done indeed,love and light oh learned one,Yvette
-
I think it really brings many men back to reality that looks aren't everything. It feels great to know that someone actually cares about our souls and inner selves and not just our looks.
-
This is so true !!
The poem was heartfelt and you captured the essence of true beauty perfectly!!
Well written and indeed a pleasure to read xxx -
What you say is true ... but from another viewpoint, if someone is truly in love with this woman, she is truly beautiful to her lover, no matter what!! In the eyes of a true lover - a FOREVER lover - the woman DOES surpass everyone else, no matter how other eyes are beholden. This being said, I therefore disagree with your opening quotes. Since there are many true lovers, there are, and have been, many truly beautiful women. And I'm one of them (according to my partner). Nicely written.
-
Wow,
this person is truly a beautiful person, I love the flow and the wording of this poem, alot of emotion eminates from this poem and it can really be felt by the reader.
Excellent Job
Much Love
S/zero. -
I was delighted to read this,it is well written and echoes my own beliefs,wether in a woman or a man,it is the essence of a person that is pivotal not the packaging.It is the most beautiful feeling to love and be loved for who we are,love and light,Yvette
-

amazing
To be truly beautiful, to really surpass all others,
you must glance into her soul. Surrounded by her aura,
cradled in her essence, this is the place of true beauty.
Its reflection sharper then the calmest waters of a fountain.
A soul of true spirituality. Its here that beauty is truly
found. Forever tranquil, in the endless memories that
each time you meet her impress themselves into your heart.
WOWZA!!!! this is utterly amazing!!!! i find it difficult and refreshing to believe a man really thinks this way. you have won my respect and admiration. since i don't have enough points to applause, i am sending you a
instead. happy valentine's day. you just made mine. viyanna r langager
-
amazing.
a really nice job. simply beautiful. -
A++++++++++++++++
Oh My Lord!!!!! this is truely amazing perhaps one of my favortie poems on AP!!!!!! i am bookmarking this!!!! i loved the whole structure of the the poems, you dug deeper and deeper until the true essence and core of beauty was reached, well done! -
beautiful! the pace and rhythmn in this is amazing! it runs so smoothly, i love the length of the lines. beautiful descriptions and imagery, a ver charming piece of work
-
Truly describes true beauty
Wow. This is most excellent. I have noticed that the way that women look changes drastically as I get to know them more deeply. The most attractive woman, originally, can become the most horrid.
At the same time, I feel that I have found true beauty. I feel that this poem describes true beauty, and how very difficult it really is to find.
I have found that most men do not know what true beauty is, and I am most excited to read a poem by a man that has obviously put much more thought into finding true beauty than I. It is something that I had recognized yet not been able to define. Fantastically put. -
This is absolutely beautiful and amazing. It is so hard to find a man that thinks like that now a days. This is so refreshing and... just beautiful beyond all words.
-
Very strong and true, Its good to know there are other people who belive in a greater beauty inside people
-
Wow!
Wow! This is truly beautiful, one of your finest writes, I believe too. The insight and wisdom that emerges from the depths of you, Chuck, are apparent in the words spilling across the page, words defining the true essence of love, how, why, where, with all purpose, with all understanding, with all it's depths. This one truly touches the heart, while exposing its utter truth and myriad of distinct qualities. You are a man who swims deeper than most. Just an incredibly lovely, genunine write! --Kel HUGS -
great write. you captured the emotion in this piece brilliantly.
-
Beautiful and very true. Good write.
-
ok ok ok i am speechless!!! i dont know what to say! when i started readin this poem i thought of the love of my life!! i never thought in my life i would find one i loved ir one that loved me back but it has happened! i know she is the one for me and i am in love!!1 she looks beyond my looks, my personality and everyhting in this poem!!! i look beyond her to her heart!! i love her so much and i am planning to perpose to het on valintines day!!! have you met your one and only yet? i think off of this poem u have!!1 not just anyone can write this deep and not feel love or have talent and i really do think u have both!!! u have a great talented feature of love poems!!! i loved this poem!!! keep up the fantaztice work!!! i give you a score of 20/10!!!
-
wonderful
thats a very heart felt and inspiring piece. well done. -
speechless
Oh that was absolutely perfect, I didn't see one flaw in that poem. You just described me to a tee, *Laughs* kidding. Actually you just described all women.
'You have much knowledge' I am truly impressed. I will be reading your poems more often. -
Expressive
A positively grand write. You don't stop at the superficial, you go straight for the core. I like that Your word flow and imagery are wonderful and the message is a truly thoughtful and fantastic work of love. Love it.
-
GREAT WRITE!
This is a beautiful piece of poem that does serve the reader a recipe for the choice of an ideal virtuous woman that has the characteristics of a true wholesome spirit of beauty and spirituality.
I admire the word flow and the imageries used in this poem.
-
Sometimes I wonder if it would be better to be blind when it comes to finding that right one. Then you are forced to see what lies beneath and hopefully find the essence of that person.
I think there are women out there who do fit your vision of the perfect woman who are waiting to be discovered. One who finds them, has found a real jewel. Lovely write~vj -
This is absolutely beautiful. The true essence of a woman is looking into her soul. I love it. Keep up the good work.
-
Yes,indeed true beauty is something beyond physical appearances,but rare to find someone who realises that.Beautiful poem ,i liked it.
-
um,
i feel naked and tingly... -
This woman must be quite the enchanting seductress she seems to have entranced you and captured your soul... This poem was quite amazing I liked the words you used to capture the elegance and beauty that you see in this lucky woman...good write..
-
Her beauty is deep, yet you have managed to burrow your way to her heart. Your subject is most lovely. You use words in the most darling manner. Keep it up
I loved it all the way.
Lots of Philia,
D.Thoures
-
I thought this was very good. I loved the last few lines.
I totally agree with this. I have one called "what is beauty" on the topic of what beauty is (yours is better though)
anyway I loved this -
Hi, this seems to have been written for someone very special and very close to you, sounds like you are very much in love my friend, lovely lovely write, a great pleasure to read, all the best, hugs Di
-
The most beautiful woman I've known are those that are beautiful yet don't know it, or haven't become aware of it yet. I could talk about inner beauty but before that I have to say that physical beauty can only take one so far when it's not accompanied by inner beauty, one of the heart and mind. The best package ofcourse is beauty both inner and outter. Inner beauty is more important for it can make even average outter beauty more radiant and a cut above an individual with greater physical beauty yet a lacking personality. A very thought provoking poem and best wishes to you
-
I wish all human beings could look as deep as this.
To see the beauty, and appreciate the gift of sight.
Very well written, I really enjoyed reading this!
It shines with inspiration and talent.
-
That is a great poem! You dont find too many guys who are like you! Any girl would be lucky to have you!
-
This is so true. I don't think you meant this as a statement against superficiality, but that's how it spoke to me. I'm dating a wonderful man... I've been with him for eleven months now... and I catch hell all the time for dating him because he's a computer nerd, shorter than me, not a prettyboy, and according to some acquaintances and so-called friends, "a geek and totally not my type." However, what they don't see is the way he treats me, the look in his eyes when he says he loves me and no one else, the comfort I feel when I'm in his arms, the ease with which we communicate, the conversations we have about both intellectual and stupid things... there is so much about Mark that lies under the surface that so many people wouldn't have taken the time to see. People think I'm crazy because I had the chance to date this jackass that a lot of girls in my school thought was hot... but that was the thing... he was pretty, not nice. I feel lucky as hell to have taken Mark off the market. Girls are always lamenting the fact that their boyfriend is inconsiderate, unfeeling, rude, whatever... but hell, they deserve it if all they look at is the face.
Sorry for my long rant. I really enjoyed this write, and I wanted to let you know what it fired in me. I'm applauding you.
Best of luck in the contest.
Elizabeth
