Long Lipsticks Poems

The Original Sin: Rhyming Haiku!
 
Haiku

See them coming down the street
Dancing with a passion that is very deep
Hands waving in the air 
People cheering far and near
Voices shouting out of control
And the music is playing very loud
Chatter and laughter, cussing...

BROKEN WHOLE
I watched her walk down the isle
Fragile figure, weakened by the weekends she spend
Kissing different frogs till her lips are pale and dry
The colored lipsticks are almost peeling off like the paints on an...

Bright lights shining she came;
Amid cheers and proclaim;
"What a beauty!", they exclaimed;
Until the world played a little court game;
And no one here is to blame.

She went to play one midsummer’s day,
But her black skin made...

Would I change from a girl, and give up all my curls?
Would I quit wearing dresses, stop paying hairdressers?

In the part tonight 
all the eminent guests arrived
with their best apparels on,
full of illimitable mirth.

The assembly hall danced

and every new entrant
being treated warmly...

And was astounded by the contents that were so diverse.
If caught, I'd surely have hell to pay or maybe even worse,
And fer that very reason...

Claim tycoons with bottomless purses
With a plethora of dollars to flash and flag
About to entice simpletons who deem their lives struck by curses

Inserted in their DNA
Generations ago
Which render them incapable to...

I never preferred my dad,
He always objected me,
He doesn’t like my company,
He argues on my smoking and alcohol,
Also minds my late night parties.

But I felt as a puppy at home,
I opposed him and always cried,

A little bit of spice and everything nice,
Let's make sure there is no vice
Every time I roll the dice

This Poem about an instance of pain and plight of Sex workers.
Red Frozen Flower:

Multiple cars flashing the red lights,
Coating red lipsticks on street.

Decorated like a model,
Hair perfect as a wig,
Eyelids having shine of summer sand,
Eyelashes...

Reality of Love Letters :

Dear society, 

Stop trying to sober us up. 
We’re young and bright
and beautiful and loud.
We will light up every 
corner of every room 
and still shine brighter
than the sun.

Stop telling us...

Every Christmas season, I hear them,
those folks from the Salvation Army,
their constant ring-a-ling-a-ling-ing
sticking in my brain as I near the entrance
to some big store or another.
Often in a hurry, sometimes knowing
there’s little or no change...

LUCKY MAY
May, May is welcome
And by these roads, these lanes
Young people come to home
To sing to my sisters.
What pretty they are
With her golden hair
And coloured lassos
And my mother combing them
To disentangle it.
That is their faces

Oh, the stress-free, carefree world of children
O' take me back to the lil kids' playpen

When we tried on mom's cosmetics and lipsticks
and built playhouses with plastic blocks and bricks
And had fun with cooking set picnics
