Beauty

This is another peom by Famous Taylor II.  I love this poem because it is his interpretation of beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so the question is, what is your definition of beauty?


BEAUTY

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Well I'm holding my eyes looking at you and see beauty
I see it at more than just a physical level
When you talk and they way you look at me
In your actions when we are around other people
I hear it in your voice when we are on the phone
Or when you're mad or concerned about me or what I do
I see it when you open yourself to talk to me about issues
And I see it when you're sad and shedding a tear on my shoulder
True beauty, the beauty I see in you
So many different ways and so many different levels of beauty you have
It has such and effect on me, on my soul
But you know what it feels beautiful inside me
I don't care what anybody else has to say about you
Because like they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And your beauty is so perfect to me

Memphis Idol and the Memphis Star were two separate events, the event I attended last Thursday was for the Memphis Star. The event was very nice and they moved rapidly from contestant to contestant. I did not get to attend the Memphis Idol event so if any of you did could you please post and let everyone know how it was?
