Pile it on
creams, colors, & powders
pile it on
perfumes, lotions, & potions
soak it in...
beads, bubbles, & auromas
wash it on...
gels, soaps, & scrubs
finished?
you're beautiful
how your hair shines
your face, divine
your body, sublime
you've covered everything
except
who you are inside...

my face is clean
my nails, unslicked
my eyes, serene
no makeup, thick
my hair just washed
I squeak in sheen
my soul, uncovered,
I know what you mean.

Applauding!   I'm guilty.  *sheepish smile*

I love reading your writing again, R.T.   Stick around!

I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

ah...but all of those things should be used to enhance...not to cover---it's like the old saying--you can run, but you cannot hide! Loved this!

Just A Woman, thankies!! you've got to be Kellie, am I right?  *smiles & hugs*

Temptress, Thank you! I think the messages applies to us all at one time or another! I wrote this when my teen thought she needed to add a lot of unnecessary items to her already beautiful appearance. Thankfully, she's looking at her entire person now.

Eagle Scorpion, you know, sometimes less or none is more!  *smiles*  thanks for reading and commenting!

My point exactly, Serenity, I love soaking in citrusy bubble baths and gels. *Chuckles*  We, need only remember the secret person of the heart.  Thanks for reading and commenting!
