Communication/Poetry Your Paper Doll
By Karyn Indursky
Give me caramel hair with golden honey streaks
to accent aloe eyes smiling above coral lips
before you paint my face in cosmetics
in allowance for you to cut me a body
hugging red wine dress with tea leaf embroidery
glimmering until it meets sheer lace trim skimming
cucumber grass beneath my vanilla bare feet
as I wonder into the candy apple threshold of my
gingerbread house to gobble down your
luscious forbidden sweets in mocking satisfaction
like me filling your sweet tooth starving to eat me
alive until nothing's left, but a hollowed me to be...
your paper doll.
Lovely, what a precious idea!
Lovely, what a precious idea! Hugss
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."

smoothie...this is one of my older pieces, but i'm glad you enjoyed the read. it's interesting to see the responses i get not only from newer pieces, but older ones and honestly sometimes i shock myself when i look at what i had written, but it takes me for a trip through memory lane.
