And I have got to get dressed, with eyeshadow
With the intent of wings of a butterfly – my face, can it be beautiful
A little while longer – while this...

My bed is comfortable, as I lay for wanted sleep.
I change positions from my mother's womb to the bum that lays on the sidewalk;
letting the rays of the sun warm his face.
The buzzer is yelling:

Silver Glitter Eyeshadow


i toss my dreams in the air

letting them fall to me as i sleep

this alternate world i prefer

Face 
two eyes 
one nose
two nostrils
cheekbones
lips 
so much more

Life
you
the hidden agendas
the truth
the lies
the beauty
the ugly

I found myself in a car that was in a ditch
a night of running towards something
wanting it to end and...

Robbing history
sending time capsules into space
placing their illusions around me
and we all can'r believe this is taking place

my life the secret shadowfiend
be inspired
truly admired

Desperately I dig through her cabinet to find anything to hold on.
My dewy gaze lands upon her glitter eyeshadow.

abstract art
doctor are you seeing spots
the family story of an artist
the plot thickens
the red spots of one page

Beneath My Beautiful.

Beneath my beautiful,
Lies alot,
Some of which,
You may not want to see.
Carefully piled up,
Made up,
Covered up to conceal,
The truth of what lies

Beneath my beautiful,
Lies heartache, sorrow 
and pain,
Fear of going through 
the same,
Desire...

she put the green on her eyes
everytime she was made a joke or belittled

until that date and that time
women taking a stand for...

Clothes don’t make me feel any less naked 
I still feel exposed 
No amount of sweaters or sweatshirts can mask the humiliation that I know

Pretty adorned in scarlet Red
from head to toe undergarment
included

She goes by the name I believe
of those who know her affectionately

With matching lipstick and eyeshadow

She has no need for blush as her cheeks
always seem plentiful...

Make-up and fancy clothes,
plastic surgery and luxury.
Things of lust and greed,
do they really make one objects of beauty?

Like dolls that invite 
men, envy and unwanted attention
vying for the longest legs
or the smokiest eyes.

That foundation and...

Asking you not to leave
Im holding you back
From going out that front door
Demanding you stay with me
You stop and turn towards me
You tell me to knock it off
I smack him across the...

An End of An Era
Late-night drunken philosophy over waffle house coffee
A little existential dread to go with your scattered, smothered and covered
All the faces you may never see again
Cool water perfume ,burgundy hair and blue...

A gothic girl illuminates her black candles
Creating a shade overturn atmosphere
Dressed in raven latex and fishnet stockings
Wearing black lipstick and eyeshadow looking succulent
A pierced tongue and a chock chain around her...

Blue is the ring around my boyfriends eyes 
when the light hits them.
