Red-breasted harbinger

flood the budding oak blossoms

Now if  I mascara this,
Add some red lipstick,
Color blonde in my hair,
Botox if I dare,
Would I make me lovely, indeed,
Or profits for the cosmetic industry?...

One errand boy after other
walks into her life...
                          and her heart!
eventually, he runs
so does her mascara.

lipstick run red
mascara on your eyes
the blush on your cheeks,
makes me feel warm inside
to bad it all was a cover on the skin
to hide with beauty the ugly that lives within...

Words in mascara of faces in faiths
Not what I telling you
But the tones of words in tacks of minds
As absorbed is this
that the hate of eyes
Within hidden in hearts
Applied in masks
This haunting
And howls...

Sensitive 
handle me with care
unless I tell you otherwise
don't pick on me or stare
eyes burn holes into my heart
way beyond repair
I cry at the drop of a hat
then stain my clothes with mascara
and I have nothing to wear...

Mascara black tear fell as she looked on
the silent man
stretched lifeless
in a 
cask
full
suit he
loved for years.
Pale lips smiling.
She will never feel those soft lips again.

Balassi Stanza: 
Show

Applying mascara,
Hiding a real era,
Flirt with everyone you know. 
Smile with your lipstick,
Get some money real quick,
Do your best, take it slow.
Eyes flicking nervously,
"Missy, please service me,"
Tonight, put on a good show....

Makeup won’t cover my red face today
All screwed up and tear stained, please stay away

The waterproof mascara has come off in bits
And the concealer melting round my red and swollen lips

Makeup won’t cover my sadness today
I guess I’ll look bad, just like my day....

my coat of yesterday hangs by the hook
holding onto every teardrop
dripping
down
the
sleeves,
mascara stained from my eyes.
blurry puddles decorate my vision,
rain dancing on the ground.
the sun settles by the coast,
waiting for the gray to pass
to bring in my spring....

Quite white really not brown as first stated, 
olive skin, dark eyes only what i've created

Apply the bronzer, smudged charcoal lines, complete with mascara my personality 
defined

Nothing too bad beneath, but what peoples expectations command,
a prisoner, a slave to my artistic hand...

Drinking the blues away


tears of mascara 
taste with different option
smells like red wine juice 
tears of mascara 
taste with different options
worldwide white wine grapes
tears of mascara 
taste with different options
smoky blackberry

A tear falls down the cheek,
Glittering like a diamond,
It tastes of the sea,
Tears are they happy or sad,
Forced or free falling, 
They both look the same,
Wet eyelashes mascara running down the face,
Leaving a black trail, red and puffy eyes,
Tears show emotion but will ruin your makeup....

That Kind of Day

Woke up late
Too much wobbly pop 
The night before

Race to get ready is on
Make up applied
Toast burnt

Out the door
Car won’t start
A bus is no fuss

Miss it by that much
When it begins to rain
Mascara running in shame

Hail a cab
Hair dripping went
Am I there yet...

My Angel has lost her grace
As mascara runs down her face
She lost love but remembered her hate
She no longer has faith

Tear stained cheeks
Through bloodshot eyes she sees only pain and suffering 
a love she couldn't conquer

As the blue sky faded black
Darkness filled her soul making her heart turn black...

A summer night fills the air and with the taste of rain.
Those endless memories that rush back.... all over again.

The rain sang songs.
Dripping misery til' all was wet.

The liner dripped.
Mascara smeared.
The lipstick bled my face so fierce.
Rain met my clothes.
A sadden splash.
A fearful pain which squeezed my nerves.... . ....

"So what will you do without me?" 
he asks, 
 

     I will become Jezzebel, 
like all the other forgotten 
women of romance movies, 
     huddle in the back alley ways of 
notorious speakeasies 
in a revealing red dress 
and weep the soul of you 
out of me 
into your perfectly white kerchief, 

runny mascara, 
  
   that's what....

It's too dark for her.
She daubs mascara on glass.
The mirror has no arms...
Night's just in the morning.
There existing, the eyes ran

Upon former years, tears 
The mood stops, reflecting
Make faces, she's mine
Broken embers from limbs

Vice and crash,
Both's empty blood —
She's twisting surfacing

Barbwire that
Blocks out

Shards...
