Who Is She
With her makeup bag left on the bus station seat,
she took off by a bus or took off by her feet.
I took hold of the bag, to return it to her.
Though, no address I found and no number to spur.
There was Dazzle Stick shining, as catching the light.
Makeup Mekka was there, as matte for blush bright.
Fenty Bronzer was there, being cheeky and bold.
Isadora Blush Stick. I saw secrets untold.
Fratboy Shadow – her face is a true mystery.
There was Mary-Lou Manizer – what history?
The Rare Beauty Foundation she let meet the eye.
And her need for concealment was Maybelline by.
Though, no lipstick I found. Maybe tucked away tight
is that stick so that lips easily take to flight.
Who is she? Who is that girl with colours so bright?
With that palette of makeup, how does she wear light?
Truly she lost her bag, though, she must have her glow.
And her lips have a story I truly would know.
What’s the hue of her smile? Is it coral? Plum? Rose?
Lipstick color is daring. To keep it she chose.
In my fantasy, lipstick lets passion reveal.
And by seeing it, maybe her charm I could feel.
Though, no address I found. No seed there is to grow.
Who she is, and how she is, I will never know.

I like the buoyant atmosphere in your poem. I'm sure she's upset at losing it as makeup can get expensive. Favorite line in here:
ReplyDelete"And her need for concealment was Maybelline by." Hope you are enjoying your Friday ๐ (thanks for the copy and paste emojis!)
Alas, it appears it was not meant to be. ๐ Maybe next time! ๐
ReplyDeleteSo fun and interesting, this analysis of the mysterious woman's make-up bag, the who's and what if's.

DeleteThis poem of yours is one of your best I think... love the story of what never meant... how much of a person can be seen from her makeup... and the lack of lipstick became a story of its own.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this. ๐
ReplyDeleteYou set the scene so nicely, and did so much with it, turning it into a mystery, Great description in the lines, poignant, sharp, fascinating.
