Lipstick Divine

Leaving a print on coffee cups
and cigarettes as well
making a mark on societies deluxe
casting shallow spells
looking to the front row
to spot what they have on
at a Hollywood picture show
she leaves that print for fun
mirrors, mirrors in the hall
and in every single room
sashaying by them on the wall
resembling Cinderella's broom
while she lays upon a daybed
linens to display
she sleeps alone detailed
and has no one to play
this decision is her own
for she doesn't prefer a muss
he abides by her rules in silent tone
to avoid a fuss
she'll act in this way 
upon the glass domains
until it crackles as does sway
lipstick divine remains

I am joying reading many of your newer poems. This one is so cute. They say, they are not selling lipsticks like they did because of the masks and many not going to work/out. Love how your pen writes. Have a blessed day........................

Back in the 50s, teenage girls and starlets bragged about how many coats of lipstick they were wearing - and marking collars, mirrors, napkins, and just about everything/everyone else! Please do NOT revive that fad! Aloha! Rico
