Premium Member I Wore Your Skin
~I wore your skin~

Brother, I wore your skin last night
Nothing but friction, blood -dry ink
Announcing a crush "Silence by the Sky!"
Integrity denied, endangered enemy

Brother, I wore your skin last night, swollen ankles
  imagery galore, vomit on the lavatory floor
A clown bleeding red, feeding lies...

Shedding Thin Skin
Held unyielding in your narrow mind
is the ignorance which keeps you blind.
Building dams will only hold you back
from accepting that white is not black.
Like a slow moving, barricaded stream,
your thoughts clot like curdled cream.
Thin skin has need to slough rejection,
Your rigid stance in mirrored reflection.

Break...

Skin Deep
I love you just the way you are
(after they buff that awful scar)
and laser the tattoos over your heart
I'm sure we're destined never to part
     Remember to tuck up that cute
double chin
     and put those buttocks back...

Your Skin
Soft and smooth and oh so sweet

Pure delight when our fingers meet

Sundrenched olive with a hint of peach

My loving touch is within your reach

Brief scents of lavender fill my heart

Enchanting, exciting, you're a work of art

Late night caresses under the setting sun

Light kisses, a playful...

I, a Red Skin Dog, As Some May Delight To Call Me,
I, a Red Skin dog, as some may delight to call me,
I have heard the tales of horror, from my dark skinned foes.
I have heard the tales of terror, from others who became my friends.
And I have walked with a dark skinned woman of their...

Premium Member Skin
The whisper of your skin
dissolving into mine -
the weight of it is kin
to that of wings of butterflies - divine
deliciousness I can’t define!

My precious love -
We meld into a sky of night that’s never been
so breathlessly partaken of
nor ever will again.
Exquisitely you paint my sweetest...

Burn This Skin
Help me burn this skin
I can’t believe all the hollow lies I’ve burnt in
 It’s as if there’s a special place in hell
For the sins that I have held
I’ve betrayed the innocence of what I used to be

It’s so funny to realize how perspective changes...

Premium Member Skin In Bloom
Into the woods, soft leaves fondle the nape

Along a walk bathed in frost of moon pail

I bare myself before night goddess’ cape

And lay upon the edge where grasses sail    ~    ~

While sacred rite bestows a holy...

Angel In Human Skin
you see me a monster
an angel in disgrace
for I plucked my wings out
just to honor the human race

inconspicuous yet dark
a disciple with a mark
all they do is lie and swear
they are always unprepared

for free will might be your gift
but their hearts are all adrift
I'm ashamed...

Skin Bleaching Is Not a Beauty
Welcome to the world filled with dark skin,
That seat belongs to you,
Let`s discuss the outstanding matters of our two.
Every pinch which will strengthen the rightful decision without hurtful rule.
I`m for the motion, and it`s not new,
“Black is beautiful”,
That`s what birds in the sky say wonderfully,
They...

Skin Deep
Indigo, not black, nor brown
not one or tother, coffee ground

It’s plain and simple, the eye to see
like winter’s bark on maple tree

I’m indigo, in mood and skin,
to be this colour is no sin

So to my friends of red and yellow, 
just chill out, it’s cool...

Whispers On Your Skin

Sometimes in my mind I go
where never have I been.
Slipping quietly into your room
like whispers on your skin.

I watch as you lay sleeping
I join you in your dreams.
Sailing over mountains 
skipping across streams.

Counting stars up in the skies
that we can almost touch.
How...

Premium Member In My Skin
In my skin,
I'm proud and free!
This beautiful dark skin
I was born with
And live in
Fills my soul to the brim
With unadulterated pride; 
Notwithstanding
A few scars 
and discolorations.
Through my chocolate skin
Captivating stories
Are revealed.
Look closely and you'll see
Some parts have seen better days,
But the imperfections
Both seen and hidden,
I...

Premium Member One Day In a Life
If you could relive one day of your life..
time lost, now retrieved for just a short while.
To thrust old scheming machinations knife,
or return healing to a lover's smile.

Such a fretted frittering those lost days,
though ones you and I will remember most.
Passions reared high in servile...
