Under your skin I see the innocence
Under your skin I see the way you cringe
all I see is affection as you spatter it so immense
The days you feel inferior it starts to pinch
The days those fair skinned people try to lynch
Spilling out disgust , the dominance they rinse
But your skin its just a moulding upon your soul, the outer portrayal is like a mirage it's just a jinx.
It's your heart and soul that rises above all this rigidness, your smile uplifting the wings
The sanctity of your true self lies between your soul and your heart , on that hinge.

@writersnetwork Thank you for the kind repost. It means a lot to me because this is a topic that is very close to my heart
________________________________________________
A FEW WORDS AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
It's harsh and hard being me
The odd crayon in the box
Worn, and broken in to three
My other two parts are lost
The red, blue and arrogant green
Heads kissed by paper each morn
Look how they beam, shine and preen
While for the paper I am lovelorn
The kids at playschool hate me
They call me "bogey brown"
Only one girl will hold me
Her little face, a constant frown
Dimpled cheeks and wild black curls
An angel of burnished wood
She was never like other girls
So they hurt her, because they could
But, for a colour box to be filled
It takes a thousand different hues
So why are some shades killed
While the others watch from pews?
All blood is dark, wet crimson
And all wax shall someday melt
So why hold love at ransom
Why won't you let it be felt?

Leopard
Leave prints in my skin
Limp to me weak and thin
With desire
Burning churning
Purring fiery passion from within
The realms and depths of my reactive skin
My intuitive touch and my intention laced with sin with shameless unrelenting passion
Destroy the fraction of the sections cracking
Cackling hissing from within feel my beauty
Feel my skin
Feel my heat
And real with the mercy of my heartbeat pounding feel it from the touch of my Burning
Skin

WALKING DAYDREAMER
On this bed,
Slipping in thoughts
Wide awake in my dreams
So beautiful In my head but I visualise it outside my body
I see my fantasies alive with the music.
I could count every scar on her skin like it was mine and vice versa
A replica? A dopplegoodganger
Seems too real, the fake seems better than reality,
What pills can keep this effect even when I am not on my bed?
What pills can keep this effect even when I am not with the music?
A walking daydreamer?
Strolling in the verse I always write about
Peace peace, i feel the tranquility even with the market aura around
Drown drown deep into my bed and music my background with the comforts of my thoughts.

Craving
She craves
sometimes
for the touch
on her skin
sometimes
for the warmth
in her heart
sometimes
for that strong feel
Inside of her

Smell
I can smell it
The antiseptic
The ultra clean
The other is there, hiding
The hair in the sink
The urine near the bed
And your skin
I smell that too
Can't be gotten rid of
So it cakes up
Like old, dirty snow on the sidewalk
It leaves a trail
To the memory of when I knew
It couldn't be you.

Light lace
A quiet power moving silently in the shadows.
The skin she wore aging in the shade, as a broken back mending over in time.
Light was not her friend.
But, only a color she wore laid between her thighs like soft lace on virgin skin.

[ Skin-Deep ]
Many people are obsessed with their skin
They are all wanted to be thin
But being beautiful is not only about our body
In our hearts, there will you find true beauty
Real beauty is beyond skin-deep
The real beauty is inside you
It is how big your heart is
And how pure is your soul
Don't be obsessed with how you look
On how you dressed
And on what your body weight is
Real beauty does not depend on that
Real beauty is timeless
It is ageless
And the most important is
Real beauty shines from your soul

The wind ruffled their honor
and left their backs
in pink leather skin
it was theft to modesty
a theft pride
a theft to their coal coloured dignity

Part of Me
Sometimes I look at my bruised flesh and skin,
And trace the marks with cut filled fingers,
And let this broken wrecked heart be made aware,
That there still is a part of me existing,
Living,
Breathing.

My Body My Skin
My body, My skin
The clothes I wore
My cleavage, my thighs revealed
Dressed and felt pretty good
About myself
I was clothed but when I stepped out
When they saw me their eyes were rude
Their looks sent unsafe
shivers through my body
Their words undressed me
Just cause of what I wore
When did my outfits begin to say who I am
With clothes on I had never felt more Naked
By what people said
I can't take it anymore
I just want to be me and not judged by Men
For what I wore or insulted by Women cause
Of my skin exposure.
Let Me Be Me

I wish I could kiss you again!
A known face! An old familiar friend!
I wish I could touch upon your skin.
I wish I could breathe you in.
I wish you'd close your eyes along with me!
I wish you'd pull me close to see,
How far we could go before
We ain't free with each other anymore!
Wish I wasn't wrecked as I have been.
Or wish I wasn't so keen
On being someone to someone else.
Wish you didn't know how cheap my love sells!

//...flaws and chaos in pride...//
i put up my flaws and chaos in pride
Glittering all my way, they shone,
oh tressue mine....
i put up my flaws and chaos in content
feisty on horseback them, rode up the hill
oh fierce brave I am....
i put up my flaws and chaos in happiness
lovelies they are, like floret promises
the spring I been longing for
oh look at me laugh....
i put up my flaws and chaos in pleasure
the tanned hirsute roads alone the curves
of my blemished body
oh gorgeousness, says my lover....
i put up my flaws and chaos in front
neither ashamed nor nervous
because they put me on spotlight
oh how upbeat I am....
i put up my flaws and chaos in awe
they make me unique,
gives me the fruit I worked for
oh I am enough....
i put up my flaws and chaos in beauty
born to a mother who birthed too, all my insecurities and inferiorities and disparage!!
oh your daughter is beautiful as ever....

Long Year Personals
He said "now"
Wait for no one
These personals you have carried
Long year, conditioning
Old skin, shedding
Let it on
To come anew

i was really sad when i wrote that,worthless and insignificant. it passes, you come out of your own hole and are stronger, and its okay if you feel like that sometimes...
#mirakee #pod #writers #writesnetwork #self #lost #wishtodie #thereishope #universe #woods #skin #wounds #sadpoetry #sadnesslost
i went out for a walk, threw flowers on the way,
so that i could retrace, my path back home,
i saw herons and foxes, bats and cats,
fireflies and crickets, bears and wolves,
nothing scared me, nothing made my nerve twitch,
until the moon signaled me to head back,
but i couldn't find the flowers and the way,
i walked and walked and walked,
found a house that was on fire,
and i put it out, arranged the woods to form the roof,
but still the house spilled amber on me, like i was unwelcomed there,
so i ran out and walked and walked,
found a house, similar to mine, abandoned
but oh so cold, making my spine shiver,
it didn't want me there too, i gave me cold,
i walked and walked and walked,
i found the flowers but not the house i was looking for,
i was sad so i cried,
i cried because all i wanted was a house i could call home, fire to keep my soul warm,
a blanket and food, maybe a soul or two,
but all i get is barren land, for all the fires i put out and coldness i removed, all the fierceness and kindness was subliming into nothingness,
all i get is pores on my feet, making my path bloody, my eyes teary, bites from creatures, sucking out my blood and my soul, and cold wind, cracking up my skin, old wounds too,
makes me think, maybe, maybe, this is what i deserve,
maybe, maybe, if i never find my way back, if i just get lost in the woods, maybe no one wold ever notice,
afterall, what can empty houses and creatures of woods feel?
(maybe i am just an insignificant point in this universe, and it wont change the equilibrium of it, if i just don't exist.)

Touch Of Rain
Touch of rain gentle when it fall on skin
Twinkling these colourless droplets imply
Welcoming comfort and vanish all pain
Like mom's lullaby, showering from high
With striking lightning and thunder from sky
To make plants and flowers smile with all might
It spin all over the ground without plight
Enticing smell of petrichor is pure
Heavenly aroma make heart feels light.
Droplets left on grass glisten and allure.

Every wound that healed escaped the hold of the skin and created a connection with the heart. And every time someone touched that scar, it's not with the skin they conversed, it was with the heart.

तुने तेजाब ही डाला था ना मुझ पर,
पर देख आज भी मै बदली नही
आज भी मेरे इरादे और सपने
अभी भी बरकरार है।
हाॅ माना मेरा चेहरा
थोड़ा बिगड़ गया है
पर आज मेरे हौसलो ने
तेरे तेजाब के असर को बेअसर कर दिया है ।
हाॅ शुक्रिया अदा करना चाहूंगी तेरा
कि तूने मुझे खुद से प्यार करना सीखा दिया,
तुने सिखा दिया मुझे अपनो की पहचान करना।
देख तेरे तेजाब ने आज भी मुझ पर कोई असर नही किया,
लगता है तेरे उस तेजाब की बोतल मे सिर्फ पानी ही था,
जो मेरे सपनो को छू भी नही पाया,
और मेरे इरादो को और भी मजबूत कर गया।
चल अब तुने एक अच्छा काम तो किया,
जो मुझे अपने आप से रुबरु जो करा दिया।
तुने एक बार मुझे फिर से जिंदा कर दिया।
