Best Blemish Poems

Beauty without blemish... This is a unusual behavioral response  to this beauty mishmash...

All along I've been in darkness...Not until her glowing splendor of beauty shone in my life with meekness...

I could do anything to impress her... I knew you're for me Vanessa..

Your lips speaks...

“A meager life!”
the world hurls out.

Brooding rage stirs -
grave music in mind:
an orchestra of feelings,
unsatisfied turmoiled thoughts,
perceived by paining wounds -
heartbeat
	with frightening velocity.

	An enfant terrible -
	Alone,
	singing to himself
	a parable:
	paradoxal
	to martyred music,
	divining 
	death

while the blithe world laughs
with an uplifted voice.

trapped in
shuddering darkness
and contrasting quietness

The dream and the sight 
one fateful night 
came to me in bliss 

I saw her there 
long raven hair 
and offered up a kiss 

So perfect in dreams 
are things that aren't what they seem 
alas they all fall to fate 
  
What...

the mirror reflects every wrinkle
every blemish, every mole
looking closer in the light
seeing the pieces whole
though I tried to cover it
cosmetics made it pretty
the truth always returns
at the end of the day
when the powder is washed away

with each breaking crimson dawn
weakness filters in with the sun
after...

You can’t wash the pigment
of the past away
Its stain much deeper
than all regret

Coloring lost moments
with what you hide
Painting the future
— from palettes of broken dreams

a blemish small
barely perceptible
until I discovered it and worked it over
Now it is enormous, angry, and bleeding
By the time I get through it will scab and scar...

She is young, startlingly pretty. He notices her when she takes a chair.
Be with you in a few, he tells her.
Look at the samples if you like.
She picks up photos of his art and begins thumbing through it.

Her skin is exquisitely beautiful.
He does not see...
