Your Make-Up

Your make-up sparkles, it rubs off on me,

As I look into the mirror after seeing you,

I can see it on my face, and I can see it in my eyes.

Your make-up is minimal and used to enhance,

Capturing the light from your crystalline green eyes,

A beaming optimism shining through your skin.

Your-make up is natural, modest, unassuming,

Your sweet, sweet nature reflected in your beauty,

And the way that the balm on your lips tastes.

Your make-up is gentle and sensitive and sweet,

Like your lips beneath, like your eyes beneath, like your skin beneath,

Your make-up is perfection.

Author's Note

The metaphor should be obvious (her natural make-up vs cosmetic make-up) but do I need to delve deeper?
