Long Full face Poems

https://youtu.be/c1gNm21YzfI

I recall riding on my brother's scooter 
as he drove me around town,
And I saw fully veiled Muslim women
half their faces veiled, masked in Niqab 
driving scooters,...

I draw honey blowing wind 
thinking of you ore precious gift
like a snowflake pure unique
One of a kind in seventh Heaven
arriving within these eyes kissing a diamond

You're my angel rays softly touching outside
gently inside sighs...

Dull as a pool of mud
Grey and stale in their attention 
Seeking out the diamond in the rough

I seem to remember
a golden post-toddler childhood
in which each day was a journey
ecstatically timeless,
yet within bookends
of coral dawn
and bruised dusk,

and returning to my evoluting inside place
for adventurous pilgrimage,
courage in face...

A full face of non-existent make up
You put it on before you take the first step out your door

I do not despise all happy people
But I...

In the sloping corners of humankind hangs the skeleton.
Ghosts are not hidden and flowers are exhausted,
Although some folds shelter beauty and
the old man can smile for some seconds
while he scratches the sky looking for

Frozen by uncontrollable, invisible angst 
thriving on my anxiety 
Motions to emotions of anchors, wrapped chains hold me down 
Unable to escape for freedom
The body lays, 
drowning in breath, air that is poison 


Movements that...

The sun slipped back his bag and yawned
A day for today was gone
And into the sea he took a plunge
Splashing the sky in colours
The stars arrived seconds later
They were scattered all across
They gossiped, talked and...

Sun never sets,
moon nor rises at night;
It's the wonder planet earth,
In exhilaration vacillates,
roves around the universe;
Hides day heating sun,
Show's way to 
skittish girlish moon;
Slowly-slowly,
She appears in dark;
Stage by stage, 
when she shows up,
In full face...

“The wind rides in solitude
In her diaphanous delight.
Her skirts brush eternity
To gather the stars of night.”

Forever the stars she gathers
will magically move in the sky.
Their dance is the style of Glitter-bug
as they shimmy till morning...

She opened the door and tiptoed in,
golden luscious hair, tossed to spin,
her legs were naked,longer on heels,
Here she was with my evening meals!
Blue eyes smiling behind black lashes,
Mask on face and shoe without laces!

Lullaby 

Moonbow cradle songs
Sing through sheer corona mists
In grace notes of acapella hues
While golden lunar lentos
Of twilight lunar rainbows,
Crowning Luna’s full face,
Arch with andante’s touch
Like a wrinkle in reality
In haunting flutters on the wind song
Drifting...

You are regally dressed

Your beaming full face,

The night crawls in, with large circling rings of smokes, diffusing.
Measuring moments in time, needed to cover up your full face.

The lonely lady on the moon is still stuck with her crafting machine.

the story 
of the magical land and his love 
tears rolling down

Once a month Earth’s moon takes another gig
     Moonlighting in a far-off galaxy
The lunar eclipse only veils the truth

looks down on us, but not always mellow.
In summertime, he shoots rays from that eye,

Every time the white grave cloths of winter disappears
And seeds in their ressurection rise
To wipe the faith of spring clean from winter's tears
Hope shines a new sun in my eyes.
