Mystery That Is Me

Laughter flows

when tears should stream

As sarcastic notations

Grip you tight

 

Vocal volume rises

When excitement

Heightens

And anger flourishes

When the heart is torn

 

Butt is round like a D

Definitely not a size three

Hips are curvy

But at least these breast

Aren’t a size C

 

Smile isn’t quite

Pearly white

Too much coffee in the morning

And too much smoking at night

 

Sometimes nervous chatter

Will fill the room

But other times not

One word will be heard

 

These are the flaws

Within me

They represent

Journeys in my life

That have been

bittersweet

 

But

Let me tell you

On the inside

Is a heart of gold

One that will

Cherish you

Until your old

 

There is a mind

That knows

How to think

And firm loyalty

That doesn’t

Know the definition

Of sink.

 

Devotion that goes

Beyond borders

And time

Illogical logic

That hold you

Sublime

 

I am never

Going to be perfect

And that is fine with me

But take a deeper look

At the mystery that is me.

I believe every woman is special. Each with each own beauty. I believe that is a good thing. Would be a boring world if we were all the same.
"These are the flaws
Within me
They represent
Journeys in my life
That have been
bittersweet"
Thank you for the excellent poem.

such is beautiful, the mystery of illusion, depth is more than skin deep,
you capture the facade of the world and bring perspective to frontal
view, the heartspoken words flow with a soft passion that defines the
meaning. this masterpiece is sensual and sweeping desire, classic ^_^

Love it! Nobody is perfect, and your poem brings out how it's okay just to be you!

nice sell
liked the spunk

[Tina Kline]

Wonderful! Yes, everyone is special and unique. The cliche saying comes to mind which is true, Don't judge A Book By It's Cover.

[roarke]

then..... it's not a mystery any longer. Brava on all counts.

Nice reflective write, always good to comfortable in yr own skin

[Gomer LePoet]

Flaws? maybe nothing more than the fine touches on a painting, the lyric or a note of a song, the distinctive smell of a tulip. It is what makes us, us.

Perfect is so boring! I love the flaws , they add character- Character and heart and soul beat physical beauty in my eyes- Anyone can be a beauty now if they have lots of cash, but not everyone can have a heart of gold and soul of sliver- Plastic surgeons haven't mastered that feat.. so as i see you, you are beautiful !

Words that we all need to hear and listen because it is not what is on the outside that counts but the inside! I may not be beauty queen material but on the inside I have loveing heart that is giving and friendly!
