Best Skin Deep Poems

I love you just the way you are
(after they buff that awful scar)
and laser the tattoos over your heart
I'm sure we're destined never to part
     Remember to tuck up that cute
double chin
     and put those buttocks back...

Indigo, not black, nor brown
not one or tother, coffee ground

It’s plain and simple, the eye to see
like winter’s bark on maple tree

I’m indigo, in mood and skin,
to be this colour is no sin

So to my friends of red and yellow, 
just chill out, it’s cool...

On the surface she was beautiful
But she was ugly deep inside
Yet always she was surrounded
With many men by her side

On the outside she was ugly
Her beauty was deep within
She was always left by herself
Shunned by all the men

Showered with gifts and compliments
Never wanting for a...

Skin Deep Beauty

This man covered in tattoos in reds and greens and blues
Wanted everyone to see his art
So he put it in his will that he hopes they will fulfill
That in his death his skin will do its part
He wants it tanned and stretched, hung...

My thighs may slap together
My bum, it may be huge
But if you look a little deeper
You'll find my heart is true

My stomach may be rounded
My bingo wings? Disaster
But my friends will always stick around
While yours will leave much faster

Everything may wobble
On my walk across to...

“Skin Deep” 

skin deep 
in beauty

character snatched 
in the grip of plastic

strictly confidential
on the q.t., 

the breath inside
quiet and temporary

love blown 
soft and infallible

floats away

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

If I could dream
for anything
I would dream of Peace, Love
and Unity
for all Bloods & Crips
all gangs, are in need of a change
for you represent such ignorance
and scrutiny 
Difference in colors worn
Sides in which you were born
are truly all that divides
when the two opposing sides
collide
and it...

Moonbeams bathe orange glow in great embrace
Her beauty completes her soul with her face
She buries her heart in her wickedness
A lurid piece of harbored openness

Within the moon’s heart is her tender eyes
Nothing there that could surely be despised
But her ways bring thoughts of devilish ways
Sensual...

I stare blankly ahead of me;
stare into the cracked soul of the being who used to reflect a smile
- the girl I used to love unconditionally.
That love evades me now.

Where has it gone?

I search desperately, but I fear it is lost forever
- lost forever in...

You’re another day older
The world’s much colder

They were taken 
Don’t blame yourself

Her beauty reflects your own
Her life reflects your future
Chasing rabbits will get you there faster
Loss of faith will bring you there faster
Watching…

It’s clever to...

I slip your lies into my skin,
beauty plastic and skin deep
watched by those eyes again
tonight there will be no sleep.
And there's frost on the window,
too cold to remember if I feel
white to blue falling so low
what's it mean to be real?
There is more to this...

Peel the refinement and what have you got
A human being who's still an animal at heart 

They will not admit they share an animal's nature
It won't happen..…they believe they're a different creature

They've lost their fur, their claws, their teeth
That's superficiality, they're still animals underneath 

But...

Though be your outer beauty that
                              ... blinds me,
It is your inner ugliness
