Paint chips and Velvet lips

 

 

 

Paint hides imperfections,
as she smooths on velvet lips
She smiles at the mirror,
and falters at its chips

Her face forever painted,
in a smiling lovely grin.
Her soul forever drowning,
in a heavy, dark chagrin

Who can know this goddess
heart song
Who might hear her

silent cries
When each night she dances
as the moon bathes sordid skies

 

 

Author's Note

This is an older piece, based on the life of a Geisha, I'm working on editing it...I think it has potential and could be a mind blowing poem.
