Description
You have lovely hair, which sways with winds embrace.You have soft skin, like silk with liquid grace.
Your figure is splendidly slim, it curves where it must.
Your build is rough and strong, pleasant to the touch.
Your smile is powerful, a beauteous string of pearls.
Your eyes are diamonds, with blue and purple swirls.
You have a shining essence, lighting up the blackest nights
And at every angle, youβre a string of northern lights.
But deep beneath your beauty, where it really counts
You're not lovely at all, not at any amount.
You're heartless and deceiving, your cold like blocks of ice
No one would dare touch you, not even putrid lice.
Beauty has no effect, unless it runs straight through.
No matter how stunning, your shining brilliant hue.

Nicely done.
I love how you establish a pleasing, almost loving mood, and then unexpectedly kick the reader in the teeth with the true meaning of the poem.
I can see why you're proud of this one.

I love it. Beauty is only skin deep... hoping thats the basic of this. whats on the outside, doesn't always define whats on the inside? I like the concept you went for with this piece, its brilliant!

Very cutting. I only wish it were in meter so I could praise a proper sonnet!
I mean, I'm not obsessed with form.
Seriously, though, the volta is well set up and well finished.

Well, I've found that once you get past the first one, things get easier. Practice makes perfect, and all that.

I enjoyed reading this, it's how to say it...smooth. It flows nicely.
I would like to point out something if you don't mind:
"But deep beneath your beauty, where it really counts
Your not lovely at all, not at any amount.
Your heartless and deceiving, your cold like blocks of ice
No one would dare touch you, not even putrid lice."
When you are saying "you are", use "you're", not "your". The word "your" is used for sentences like "your hair", whereas "you're" is used in sentences like "you're beautiful".
Again, nicely written, I enjoyed reading it! :].
