Skin Deep Poems - Poems about Skin Deep

On The Inside

If beauty is but skin deep,
I prevailed upon her to construe,
'Does it lie in the eye of the beholder
or, of the two which one is true?'
For we can't judge the book
by the cover, with but one look,
as what's inside truly counts
far much more than that.
And tho' to me she bemoaned,
'I am big-boned'
I've yet to see

Same team

You and I were separate beings, at the time when you met me. 
Then I found to my delight, a friendship formed that very night. 
  It’s hard to know, just what could be; if we were working as a team.
   Not “Team you” and “Team me”.
   I know you’re

Different

Same  different day, They stare because I don't look the same, another face without a name, I'm betrayed by my appearance the fact I'm rather pale, The tracks that cover my skin give me horns and a pointy tail, I'm covered in spots red and inflamed, the darkness around my eyes makes me appear

Is beauty skin deep

As layers peel away 
your beauty makes your soul shine 
your heart full of love

Beauty skin deep

As layers peel away 
your beauty makes your soul shine 
your heart full of love

Skin Deep

“Skin Deep” 

skin deep 
in beauty

character snatched 
in the grip of plastic

strictly confidential
on the q.t., 

the breath inside
quiet and temporary

love blown 
soft and infallible

floats away

Beauty Skin Deep

A face lift here and a tummy tuck there
Pearly white implants and bionic gold hair
A nose job that rocks
Once a hound now a fox
Beauty skin deep just got you a billionaire

Skin Deep

I do not like the skin I’m in -
It’s dotted, dry and wrinkled,
Like paper with a reject poem -
Once smooth, now sadly crinkled.

Each little tap becomes a bruise,
A purple blotch, attesting
To all the years I’ve spent on earth,
A dermal-type divesting.

Some freckles, not here yesterday,
Have multiplied and scattered.
They would have bothered me much more
When my appearance

coiled asp a spoiled queen





stinging the lone heart

Skin Deep Allure

Why can’t I accept the me that I see
                 Always something more that I long to be
What there is within counts for so much more
              

Skin Deep

Naked without color natural glamour on the outside
sweet and courteous imaginary clamor with astride
wake up and advance as is need not glitz a looker
no require for waterfalls pure spritz not a snooker
polish not and matches in everything fresh in linen
carefree when going right waltz swing if so tailspin
talkative at times when directed back to if

Beauty Skin Deep and Stinky

Black fat cat Pepé on his back got white spots
Swinging its tail getting tied up in knots.
Nerves he dances like a girl
Leaps on fence its tail does curl
Tripped into the garbage can where food rots

Darn male skunk keeps sneaking under the fence
To visit my black cat at my expense
Thought I would get between them
In my

Sharon Maria Moemise

My God-given crown of femininity is my nappy hair
My skin in its freckled golden-brown glory belongs to me
If perfection is what you're  looking for, then let’s be fair
Look in the mirror and decide who you really want to be

My rounded thighs bear witness to  life's great gifts
My ample bosom attests

Blue Dark

I’m in his favorite dress
He’s watching me getting undressed
Take this body
Do what you want
Tear it apart
Dance with it
Play with it
Taste it, spit
Do what you like
Hold it tight
Hold it tonight
Lean in for a kiss
What I feel is bliss
The word comes from my lips
Kissing in the blue dark
Our touch is a spark
You’re my favorite color
I like to

Skin Deep

some days
it can all be
too much
knowing that
there are so
MANY
who hate you
for being who you are
someone
unlike them
feeling like
they have the right
to extinguish your light
because they believe
theirs shine brighter
like
we all
aren’t the same 
underneath
