Skin Deep...

"Unknown"
Marcela Bolivar.

Wilted passions, frozen dreams,
Masked in the sizzling shadow of,
A fearsome beauty, hazel streaks,
Withering within, smiles above!

Compelled to fleeting false glamour
Falling prey to people so vain,
Feeling like a sun and soil Goddess,
Not feeling the pain within!

Abrasive words dying in a heartbeat,
Rude insolent childish manner,
Wanting more than she ever needs,
Good hearts, loved ones all scatter...

Alone, beautiful, wild and sad,
Tantrums of a rich ignorant feline,
Heart bleeding deep, earthy red,
Beauty bewitiching, skin deep divine! 


Written for MindLoveMisery's Mercury and Ashes!

  5. You captured the true essence of the picture. Beautiful indeed, but I don't think she's happy.
    I'm visiting from the Mindlovemisery's Menagerie prompt. My co-author and I created this piece.
