Painted Face

in poetry •  7 years ago 

Her face was a canvas
A pool of colours, all
Part of the symphony
Textured in beauties
That peddled for money
Brushed-on blushes, oh
My finger could dimple
Her face and multiple
Colours gush from the vent

I bet her heart was synthetic
As well
She was a well told lie
Only time could kill
As night approaches for
A wet wipe to become dutiful

Smooth as china
I get scared she could break
And her freckles all obscured
By layers of foundation
Just a handkerchief
Could restore her face to
Factory settings.

Sweat her greatest adversary,
Just a wipe off and half
Her beauty is gone
An innocent hug from her
And your impeccable robe
Tainted by her painted face

Yet she was a verb
In her true unsullied nature
A gift for my phrasal soul
Without contours and bronzer
And her sweat comes off effortlessly
Without being trapped behind
Glowy cheeks forming pimples

            This poem is humourous.
            Especially...

            just a handkerchief
            Could restore her face to
            Factory settings.

            and yes, sweat is truly the enemy here😉
