Smudge Poems

Lipstick Smudge On A coffee Cup Smouldering Cigarette

A blank stare into nothingness
Suddenly I looked up as something caught my eye
A very pretty girl saunters in and buys herself a coffee
And perches herself cross-legged upon a cleared table in front of me
Among the crowded cafe din with cackling clucking hens
The mystery girl dressed divinely looking like a Bird of paradise
She flicks her hair

Smudge

My pet dog, Smudge
I wish he'd smell of fudge
instead he stinks of poo
Smudge, I say this cos it's true

You and your big tiger feet
your love for me is sweet
but now it's time for your bath
Smudge thinks I'm having a laugh

He's now sprawled out on the floor
and won't come in the bathroom door
Oh Smudge what am

A Smudge

a teeny-tiny
insect-type
smudge
smeared
on a
bathroom tile
the killer
walked away
free

My Cousin Smudge

She was short-spoken, curt, and abrupt.
Her tight ears were closed, her mouth was cupped.
Not unlike her dad, ole mean McDuff.

She told it like it was, spoke her mind.
More honest girl you would never find.
I’d want her to back me in a bind.

She speaks the brutal truth, you see. 
Even if it angers Ted and me.

A Smudge In a Relationship Can Occur

The smudge of the relationship can occur,
   It can be so insecure,

Like through the door,
You hear but can't see, 
  You want to see inside but you're out.

  ?Communication so vague,
  ? depth of one so translucent , other so obscure,
  ?there is so much to figure, ensure...

Smudge

Humidity peaked
New high score
Perspiration on the windows
left behind window scribble sigils
I heart U
it read
said
to no one in particular

Looking at it now
tough to say who left it there
Another fleeting testament on pane of glass
waxing while waning faster than the blast
Real memories never last
Where ever you are dear window writer, I love you too

Tough titties telling those

A Smudge of Heaven

A father looks down on his newborn child
a mirror of his image, concealing 
a secret smile hiding among the stars
both seemingly absorbed 
in metaphysical musings 
taking time to enjoy 
life's precious small pleasures.

How the heart can careen in his chest
to gaze into her eyes casting beauty like a spell
or a glow of starlight behind thin

Smudge

A smudge on the mirror
Thats all I can see
I cant see the eyes staring back at me
My vision is blurred
My sight unclear
Why cant I see when I am so near
To the person on the other side
Still I cant see the tears she's cried
Before me the image is a lie
For it can only show the outside
Not
