A Man in a Room, and other poems - 5. wig and makeup
.
Poem No. 9
Prelude:
I love her more than my heartbeat
to dream of her size-less subtleties
to touch her boundless soul
I dream to love her endless sight
Poem:
There's a tear in her eye, that hasn't been wiped
in a dozen-thousand years
It remains there still
so many have tried to brush it off her cheek
But there it is, still the same
it begs for a mere mortal to try
To understand the beauty there is to Love
Poem No. 10
Beauty, you stupid hag
Can't you put on a wig and makeup
Can't you appear ugly
I need it, so I can forget your face
Beauty, you stupid nag
leave me alone
unless you
can't be what you are.
