Everything is Beauty

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, some will say,
Yet others say to see it, one does not need sight;
It is curious how each defines it in a different way.


Skin colour matters, as do eyes, blue, brown or gray,
Blond locks count, or red hair or tresses dark as night;
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, some will say.


Others state beauty is only skin deep, ugly the bones lay,
It is not in the face, but what shines in the heart's light;
It is curious how each defines it in a different way.


But beauty is from within, not without, is a cliché,
Good looks attract, even if you think it to be trite;
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, some will say.


Beauty is when you appreciate yourself, come what may,
When your inner strength shines, strong and bright;
It is curious how each defines it in a different way.


There is no single definition, find beauty every day,
When with love you do anything, it is beautiful, right?
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, some will say,
It is curious how each defines it in a different way.


Written for the Founder's Challenge for February, a poem, in any genre, but in less than 24 lines, defining "Beauty". 

I picked a Villanelle poetry style (is a highly structured poem made up of five tercets followed by a quatrain, with two repeating rhymes and two refrains.  The first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately in the last lines of the succeeding stanzas; then in the final stanza, the refrain serves as the poem's two concluding lines. Using capitals for the refrains and lowercase letters for the rhymes, the form could be expressed as: A1 b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 A2.)
