Blindful, mindful you
partake of yourself blissful
leave no stone unturned...

washing your hands
in 
this holy water
shall

a blemish
upon 
the
sweet unblemished moon...

Skin therapy couldn’t materialize
Consequently leaving behind a blemish
An injury that is permanent
Resting deathlessly on me...

The color of love at first sight
  needs be night to preserve it aright

Day's searing view obscures its hue
  augments a blemish ever so slight...

I like it when the mist covers
like softened worn glove blemish
noise of darkness
with eyes closed
always seems louder
and light makes you feel alone...

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...

I tried to fade away today
wishing Pandora had left hope in the box
Fighting to lose
In the most perfect skin
meet the blemish
Hopeful that the next blink will be the last...

I look upon his filthy face and scowl hard, for it is a disgrace
Even though not a blemish is there to be seen at all
His thieving ways will be his doom one fine morn I know!...

Yellow fire hazards blemish the lawn,
prickly to bare summer feet.
Locusts overtake the heat.
Aphids feast and continue to spawn,
yet still remain strawberries to eat.

Ate at a fish and chips restaurant today
Love fish and chips could eat 'em every day
Only problem is
I get a scaly blemish
Must keep tiny hook-shaped thingies at bay...

Why do we suffer?
So often we forget that
Christ suffered too
without blemish, without sin
He can relate and 
guide us through
sometimes we just have to suffer for Him.

A blank page,
A fresh start,
A canvas for the heart.

Unspoilt,
Unstained,
Simple beauty sustained.

Purity,
Perfection,
No blemish on reflection.

No telling,
What future storms rage,
On a blank page....

be thy guide
be thy light
be thy joy
be thy 
holy night
be thy
bird to witness in flight
be thy guide
but
rest assured
reveal the soul
and
be thy light
and
not one blemish
from 
her tender kiss...

A candle flame does not flutter
And is not extinguished,
For it is determined to glitter
And not to be  tarnished!
Said “ Dear devout,
Halt a moment and hark!
Here is a blemish-less monk,
Even in the dark!!”...

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

she dances with her blade
her beauty unparalleled
the petals blow around her
with the gusts in her hair

though many battles she has fought
never will a single scar
blemish the beauty she sports
for she is blessed as such...

No
Blemish
Could
Blemish
Her beauty.
She lacks
Flaws.
But him,
He is stained
With ugly ways
That lead her
To tears
Of 
Distinct
Agony
And pain.
Why
Do we
Love?

my scars have faded.

i still remember where they were.

i could map out every blemish and imperfection on my body.

you used to kiss them and tell me i was perfect.

but now that they have disappeared, what is there for you to kiss?

Our scars
self-requited 
define
who we are

The pain
when it’s welcome
embedded
unmarred

Each blemish
redeeming
those choices
to blame

Absolving
our future
releasing
the shame

imperceptible
    and
      invisible
this fidelity,
delicate
and desirable,
impartial
      without
      blemish:
often
    so ethereal
..fleeting
yet
   enthralls
our notions
of
perfection,
so often
disappers
with a 
whimper...

who maketh these 
flaws in mortal men

that life endures
again and again

without blemish

dreams of immortality
chase this paper moon

who maketh these stars
become alive
to ride again

without blemish
from end to end

this is my quest...

Heaven…

…magnificently glorious

…awaiting ransomed believers…

bought by Saviour’s precious blood*

Forever!

*1Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

A Father's joy,
A princess, 
like Helen of Troy
Fair without a blemish or spot
Beautiful, desirable and noble from the heart,
A smile 
with a story of a million miles,
A glow
Like a phoenix rising from it's ashes,
A girl, a woman
A symbol of resilience....

A blemish dawns the red sky
Violent blush stains and bleeds on high
Plop, plop, puddles of ichor and flesh 
Metallic aroma inhaled fresh

We're bathed in the violence
Like of group of lost nihilists
Through the night, watching it ignite
Nothing could absolve our spite...
