Dreamt I was an alien from deep outer space
With big oval eyes
Small body in size
With a complexion that resembled mayonnaise...

walked off the set

For the men to extend her their reaches.

Seems their enthusiasm is a bit in excess
Pull back on the reigns
Rather than go up in flames
Complexion suffers and leaves you perplexed...

Was blown away at this amazing sight
It was Elvis for sure
Back from yonder shore
Was freaked, my complexion turned a very bright white...

Caused my flesh tones to darken and swell...

With her flawless gorgeous young complexion

rouge complexion,
wearing a crimson robe;
bathing in cool fountain of youth-
fresh dew.

And never has her complexion dimmed;
Every time I see her, your beauty doth decline.
Your hair unruly like a tree untrimmed.

Every insight, sight, every view.

Every tone, complexed complexion,

That turns us to hot jelly from a tepid lukewarm
We fumble and fuss
Our complexion gets flushed
As we anticipate the approaching thunderstorm...

I envy that complexion,
that scent,
of a loved girl,
of an adored
and quite beautiful
daughter,
or lover,
or stranger.
Instead
I am damaged 
and homely,
hiding in the smoke,
longing
and distracted....

Stale, summer
Heat. 

Boiling in this
Skin bath
Are you and I. 

An obsession, 
Now a memento
Of dark complexion, 
Stiffened surprises. 

I burrow into the 
Pill case now
With no more than 
An ant farm
In my pocket....

Woke up with a look of terror on my face
Dreamt I was an alien from deep outer space
With big oval eyes
A body small in size
With a complexion that resembled Kraft Mayonnaise
