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 shinning 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 like this very much, the way the poem peels off each layer of a persons make up, revealing all the things that make the whole till eventually one reaches the very soul from which all these other attributes derive. Beautifull, meaningfull,enriched by it's superb imagery. mal

Thank you very much for this lovely tribute to women. It is not often that a guy can speak of being able to see beyond the outer vision of women. At times it seems that most of you are only willing to see the surface and are terrified of looking deeper. Or when you do look deeper you fear the depth that you can see. So your words here are a great joy to read and think over. They allow women to see that men can and do see deeper and like what they see even if they don't like to say it out loud. LOL Thanks for a beautiful tribute hon... Sylvyr

As the world spins out of control...HOLD ON! 12009 critiques, 62 poems.
This is one of the most passionately written poems I have read in a very long time. I am sure her complexities are music to your heart and soul. This is brilliant!

I wish you all the best in this challenge but with a poem as resounding as this you don't need luck! You have the skills to back up your winning entry.

EXQUISITE!

I do hope my husband looks past my physical being and into a soul that loves him dearlu, unconditionally, as he loves me. We've been married 33 years. I would guess that he does look past my faults, and flaws, has for some time. I love this!

Much Love,
Renee

~Believing in gods always causes confusion~ 260 critiques, 6 poems.
WONDERFUL. i love how you started with the surface of such a beautiful being, with the curve of the hip, to personality....and when i thought you were done, the heart, you moved it to another more meangful level. i loved it. very eloquent...and the imagery...omg...great. " Her blood must flow
carrying to her tender fingertips the messages
of her love. " just....so perfect. on the first stanza you said that only a few are REAL women, and you supported that by using the word "must" constantly especially when describing the heart "stage" 9don't mind me calling it so).
The last stanza is also beautiful.
"Its reflection sharper then the calmest waters of a fountain" and it's there that beauty is found.....fantastic. i loved it.
i really hope that men try and look at women that way...maybe some day.
Thank you very much for writing this poem and sharing it with us

This was amazing. What an honor to have read this. Whoever this woman is that inspired you is truly blessed. A man who can see to this depth of a woman is a beautiful man. And she for certain must be the beautiful woman you mention. This was beautiful, if I understand the comments I see that you won the gold with this. Well deserved my fellow poet! Great job, one of my favorite poems ever!

dumping the puck in went out with short pants-- HB 1186 critiques, 97 poems.
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.

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

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

"Stuff Happens, Things Occur." 162 critiques, 28 poems. Verdict: 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.

Teach me, that I may follow You more closely 275 critiques, 26 poems.

 

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.
