The more I uncover in you
The more that I have a clue
The invisible defects
That I didn't quite get
Maybe we should be through.
Water reveals its own self, and others. It can also slip itself or cause others to slip.

Coded in your genes
Generations of stardust,
Their flaws and virtues
Vying to influence you,
Pick and choose which ones you'll keep
God blesses my soul.
Completely, eternally—
Fixing up my flaws.

FULL OF FLAWS
We are full of flaws yet
We seek out the ideal in each other
We pander to the trends and styles
That flutter in the wind
Perfection is king
Power and wealth
Are the
Aphrodisiacs of men
Ancient stones glorify
This immortality, again
Time swings her
Pendulum in this wind
Yet, we carry
These flaws of men
Our every imperfection
The errors made
Each lapse, a rough
And uncut gem
Perfected by some
Unknown blade

FLAWS
Bear this and that swift wave
Law follows law promptly
Control corrupts to save
Flaw covers flaw sharply

Flaws
Loved ones, hear me; set blame free.
For the fault that we beseech
Lies not in whom, but how do we
Retrieve the games, flaws entreat.

Flaws like stars in the darkness,
lights allowing you to shine;
You may see chaos in the mirror
cracked masterpiece perfect reflection;
Ascension peeking through your falls,
disguised as all of your flaws.
IMPERFECTION, AN ASSET
Imperfection lies within, spur me to bloom further

Imperfection is beauty, flaws are art,
Purity is overrated, failing is understated,
Strange is innovative,
Battle scars make a soldier,
Perfect makes the heart colder,
Make mistakes, miss a shot,
Dare to fall, dare to try.
Form:
There comes a time when we all must confess
The gratitude we have for this life we possess
With all of it's flaws
This stands out above all
Love's the answer that make life a success

I look at my soul killing its flaws. I appreciate it and let it do so. But when I came back to earth to show them a perfect human, I realized my mistakes made me who I am. Without my flaws, I am just a perfect human—but not me.
Body flaws twinkle
in mirrored iridescence.
A radiant macula
bestowed by angels
to chasten the achromatic
who sculpt and chisel
a painted coterie
of obscene perfection
for high born masquerades
vaunting pristine vision.
I speak a truth too quiet to hear
And call that honesty in my fear
To show my scars upon my face
The terror sets my heart to race
Bare my soul my true inner man
A most fragile and terrible plan
So I hold my cursed sins close
And pray you’ll love the lying ghost
People tell me my flaws, as though I don’t see them,
But they stare at me in my mirror every day.
I can’t really change them, Never will be able to.
Although I might not see them as flaws,
But as the things that make me unique.
They are still there, and I must live with them.

FLAWS
Tinny insects on skin lines
Red dragons on soul signs.
Nature's insticts to human reply
This earthen step will never fly.
FLAWLESS
Flawless is the dream that rests
Beneath the purity of an endless quest.
As faith lies on hands of gold
Divine and earthly world their coupling unfold.
I know making you less perfect
won’t make me any better
yet I can’t help it
I fabricate your flaws in my head
as if it would make my own disappear
almost as if ruining you
made me any better
…
almost as if making you imperfect
made me as perfect as you
—maybe I should learn to love my flaws instead of obsessing over yours
Floyd was a fellow full of flaws,
Who flipped for females without cause,
They thought he was cute,
As long as he stayed mute,
But then he’d start jacking his jaws.
And if the lady had any doubt,
What his intentions were about,
Her doubts would soon be gone,
Cause when Floyd was turned on,
His false teeth would always fall out.
Hunger has its claws:
Kitchens gape not doors.
One can't for long sit,
Whom ulcer has hit!
Just Red Tooth and claws,
A waging of wars:
Everyone a cat;
You'll hear Rat-Tat-Tat!
It's red tooth and claws!
Don't come here with laws.
Profit does us fit:
One from tricks and wit.
For red tooth and claws
I'll hide all the flaws.
Brazen you are,
how far is your
awareness. In
truth you couldn't
care less.
Things
were said things
were done, things
were even flung in
rage. Leaving a bitter
taste in your mouth
drawn from such haste.
A plea was made yet on
deaf ears it falls, it's never
your fault. As usual you rush
away, never confronting
your flaws.

lovely maiden will never be any prettier
twenty-six, the age of the most beautiful
she has no idea how lovely she is
when she is seventy she will look back
thinking how crazy it was to focus on flaws
freckle on her wrist, bump on her ring finger
bemoaning her weight thinking she is heavy
she will gasp at photos of herself at twenty-six
It’s alright if you’re a unicorn’s rainbow crap
Perhaps an anime’s trap
Dances on someone’s lap
Pro on making someone nap
Someone peeking on a gap
Drinking from a dirty tap
Always on the verge of a snap
Hard to grasp
All in all I’m sure well last
Not on the expense of lust
Nor based on a lofty thrust
Well I’m sure we’ll rust
But not our trust
Flawless
Photo shopping a model.
So her neck doesn't have a wattle.
She's perfect after this,
so her feet you will kiss.
Then return to your baby bottle.
Flaws
To the eyes I am a little rough.
In my stomach, I do have a fluff.
Wish you could see who I am.
Writing again my own slam.
For you, I see I wasn't the right stuff
For S K A T's contest.
