let me

natural beauty vanishing these days

 

Let my thirsty dry lips
Touch your soft sweet lips
Just to erase the lipstick
Which never fits
The charm in your lips
Because it can never be found
Lipstick looking nice as well as your lips

 

Let my hands
Touch your cheeks
Just to remove
The makeup you dressed
Because that makeup layer
Prevents me
From feeling your softness

 

Let my fingers
Comb your hair
To away that cream
Which hides
Your hair natural stream

Let my chest
Touch your chest
Maybe I can find my heart that lost
With the feelings I missed
To feel with you

 

Keep me between your walls
Hide me inside you
You are false
If you think I can live
Without you

You have a real problem with lipstick, don't you? I don't think women necessarily 'hide' behind make-up, we try to enhance, women have been doing this forever. As to the remainder of your poem, I can relate, seeing the true beauty of a lover. That last line was a killer...

[quinfinn]

frieda, if you knew how lipstick originated and what it was first used for you might never wear it again....

[Frieda P]

I doubt that, women suffer for beauty every day, how the hell you think we walk in heels, and what idiot invented those? We still wear them, and don't tell me you guys don't love them...

[quinfinn]

heels accentuate the thighs and buttocks and put an impossible sway in a womans hips that drives men insane...getting back to lipstick, it was first used by w****s to make their mouths resemble the vagina....in ancient times, only w****s wore it. times have changed and society no longer looks upon lipstick as an accessory for sex, but as an accentuation and embellishment of a woman's lips. thank goodness for the modern interpretation taking precedence....it is demeaning to them to think of it as anything else.

Women have adorning their lips for over 5,000 years quin, you think that stopped Cleopatra?

[quinfinn]

well, it certainly didn't prevent marc antony from being obsessed with her beauty. i ain't knocking women or their use of make up...in the proper proportions it is exquisitely beautiful...i adore women. let them be as pretty as they so desire. more pleasure for me!

[Frieda P]

I didn't think so, so why you giving me a hard time then. ;-)

[quinfinn]

moi? au contraire....i am merely telling you how very beautiful you are

[Mockingbird]

a progression of desire leading to complete intimacy. she is even more desirable naturally than when she's all made up. it's very qabbani because he writes of women's sexuality and hidden passions of which he defends in the arab culture. i also like how you address the woman in the second person. it's very familiar that way. great poem, khalid. with all this poetry you write how do you have time to work : )

[patricia]

nice write khalid, i dont usually like soppy love poems...but i enjoyed this.

[Sugar Plum ♥]

very beautiful and touching! women shouldn`t be false...I like the way you express this poem, its so gentle...

[Coyote Poetry]

Beautiful and strong words of emotion in the poem. When we get twisted up. We will never escape the desire to repeat the dance of love and passion. I like the complete poem.
"You are false
If you think I can live
Without you"
Thank you for the excellent poem.

Awwww. this is astounding.. i love this. =) Very passionate and so sweet..
And yeah, i do agree with you too. As a girl, i know plenty of others who use makeup so much.. when they are just pretty the way they are without them. I, myself, don't use it as much.. only if i need to.. or rarely.. even.. lol..
Girls should show their natural beauty more!! =)

I enjoyed this Khalid!

Such a beautiful poem!! =)
