Nude LipstickA Poem by Sarah MarieA nude shade is a woman’s bane--
What use do I have for a tint No more colorful than my own skin?
Nude.
Whether stick or stain, it is meant To adorn the woman and mark the man, Not disguise itself in plain sight.
Nude.
How can you paint kisses down a lover’s line When the color matches the canvas? It cannot smear my cheek and mingle With the natural blush from a lover’s kiss, A sign of passions unprovoked; It cannot brand a man with the fire Of fervor or stake claim on a woman’s Territory where others might dare to tread.
Nude.
Some men might wonder the true tone Behind a woman’s kiss, but others are content In knowing just what lies beyond the sheets.
Nude.
Sooner would I bare my soul, my teeth, myself Than wear a shade invisible to the naked eye-- Natural in all its naked glory, yet vanishing As soon as it is applied.
