Short Eyeliner Poems

Track marks of
Eyeliner run 
Away from 
Retinas and
Stained cheeks....

Daughter of darkness;
I don’t fit the description;
No black eyeliner
with a matching dress or boots;
But my thoughts? Creepy as hell....

I'm deleting a lot of words
Squashing down a lot of emotions
I've put eyeliner on
And my glare is ice cold
I'm not even looking out
I'm just contained....

Between 
the corners
of the circle,
at the edge
eyeliner makeup,
from under the covers 
of the embrace,
sunny Bunny
heart-shaped
peeks
between me and you.

I'll put on my foundation,
so my skin looks fair.
I will put on eyeliner,
And braid my hair.
put on the eye shadow,
and powder my nose.
brush on the pink blush,
that's how it goes.
Nexts goes the lipstick,
then I look in the mirror to see.
The person that i'm looking at,
Just isn't me....

sex and hairspray,
its what her image screams.
her lips smeared with 99 cent gloss.
vodka and whisky lingering on hot breath.
fishnet stockings,
a hole in one knee.
eyeliner smudged by the humid air.
trojans packed away in her leather purse.
"well," she purs in a drunken slur.
"what do you think?"...

Dress yourself right,
To make it look bright.

A little curl here,
Or straighten it there.

Splendid is how you must look,
To get into other's good book.

Paint your nails a little,
To make it look glitter.

Thick eyeliner to make your day,
Pretty!to let others say.

But in the end,the race,
Is more than your face....

I've got eyeliner on, but I'm cancelling it out with a quilted coat
I've got fun stuff to say, but I'm cancelling it out with apologising for existing
I've got a life to live but I'm cancelling it out by being afraid of condemnation

there's a single leaf
right on the end of the branch 
it waits in beauty

a placid scene
under eyeliner horizon
dew drops tearing across canopied skies

roiling thunder
shaking the earth and heavens
a flood falls, staining porcelain facade

the stream snaking its way
through flat-topped mountains
and forests untouched by man

the river returning to its origin
a sordid spring once wet with creation
now run dry by rage...

Red blush tempting me
Eyeliner awaking thought’s
Rouge creamy and soft
Configuration formation 
Mind with, determination
Body self forming
Legs with exciting warnings
Eyes deeply entrancing
Words luring with expectations
Ears listening and recording
Thought’s wandering aloof
Clasping together two hearts
Souls drifting into heaven
Alarms going off

Dream over lol...

Will you still love me
when it's three in the morning
and I'm crying so hard I can't breathe?

Will you still love me
When I coat pillows in mascara and eyeliner?

Will you still love me 
When I shut you out
And won't explain to you why
Because I don't want to bring you down?

Will you still love me
When I can't handle being strong
And I find relief in razors
Instead of your arms?

what has capital given us? rubber Cahokians 
stood up behind glass like scarecrows when 
you walk through the museum it looks back 
at you two people traumatized into being 
neocorporate wunderkinds shell shocked into 
playing the game smoothed down the 90s rage
and wiped off the ran eyeliner to figure out
their valuations and get revenge the long way
- the water spirits burst the pipes and 
you have to evacuate the museum....

Eyeliner smudged
Across her face
Those memories
She can’t erase
And she can’t find
That place
Where she used
To feel safe
Eyeliner smudged
Across her face
Sick of crying
Always lying
She trying
And she’s dying

Eyeliner smudged
Underneath her eyes
Getting sick
Of all the lies
And yet, as
Everything dies
She goes on
And she tries
Eyeliner smudged
Underneath her eyes
She’ll pretend
It’s the end
Tries to bend
But she’s breaking...

She wanders through the rubble,
Tears streaming down her twisted face.
Red eyes mixed with black eyeliner. 
Her pupils shine green among the dancing flames.

Branches snag her tattered clothes,
Causing her to fall.
On hands and knees,
She has no will to stand.

Chains and locks on her wrists and ankles,
Not letting her move.
Too weak…
She’s losing the fight.

Days of crying and sobbing,
Such pain.
Screaming on the inside,
But her voice won’t work…...

i took one last look 
At all the things 
That you used 
To make you, you 
The you only i knew 
The you i loved 
And i smiled a momentary smile 
Picturing you days from now 
Glancing at the things that you might carry from here with you 
A brush, an eyeliner, lipstick 
And i saw my smile 
In the mirror that you used 
The mirror that i used to use 
To look at you 
But the glass never did catch the glance 
i saw in me 
When i looked back 
And you were no longer there...

Awake,
yawn heavily.. chest rises and sighs
rub sleep from my eyes

Walk lazily
approach the sink 
cup my hand to take a drink

Comb my hair
look in the mirror;
Eyeliner smudged and smeared

Wipe it away 
Re-apply
stretch then sigh

Dress
Button my shirt
zip my skirt

Look outside
looks like rain
To straighten my hair would be insane.

Throw it up
Pin it tight
What a sight..

Embark for the drive way;
Gotta catch the bus today

Slip into a seat
Such a repeat!...
