The Lipstick Remains The Same

 

Cherry colored lips

Stain my skin…

So deep down…

That even a storm

Couldn’t wash them away.

The Eastern winds

Hug me with chilling intentions…

Intentions not to be revealed

Until carved in my tombstone;

Till then

I know the rain will serve

As ghostly tears

That will baptize my soul

In haunting emotions

That jump start my heart

In times of loneliness.

I clearly see life

Imitating fantasy

While watching death

Escape reality,

So I close my eyes

To change my perspective

Only to find

That Led Zepplin was right;

“The Song Remains The Same”

Boy oh boy how we come full circle in life...
You always have a playful way to teach the soul deep philosophy.
I really enjoyed this read Dale.

Thank you very much, I try to put my light hearted personality in my work.

[David Scott]

Far more than light hearted. You share meaningful ideas and give transformational wisdom.

[AYVID N]

It started on a lighter romantic note but the feeling changed as the writing progressed and then I could appreciate the permanence of an emotional impact and the loneliness we shall carry to our tomb . A kind of depressing thought. ... A powerful and moving write!

Thanks so much, nice to hear what emotions you took from the poem

[Rossen]

Powerful connections bridged with poetry filled with good strong lines and meaning.

can't imagine how this has no reviews yet....
this song does remain the same...the clouds shed tears, and we realize they are our tears...perspectives change as we age...and more often than not...we grow up through tears, and years give us knowledge...

and we just keep getting haunted by our memories. and those lips, the imprint...i have several sets of lips tattooed in my memory.
