War Paint
September 22, 2013
Lids painted with liquid lines
A defensive blockade
To tears that threaten
My poise and public joys
Lips stained hot rod red
To deliver kisses deadly
Shadow to cast shadows
Over irises pleading
And giggles bleeding
Blush brushed and steady
Lashes ready
Await my further commands
Foundation damnation
I stand strong
Behind the battle plans
