Theme: Appreciating one’s imperfections
I stared in the mirror searching for flaws,
Making a list of nature’s raws.
Picking apart freckles and spots on my face,
Wishing for silk where was uneven lace.
But in the mirror's reflection I see the cracks and lines,
Imperfect lips, flaky skin like nature's intricate designs.
Yet your love transcends the surface's guise,
Embracing the imperfect, seeing beauty through loving eyes.
Like a delicate rose untouched by the artist's brush,
You admired me, my flaws, with a heart full of lush.
Imperfect makeup elements symbols of authenticity,
Revealing the depths of a love that defies normality.
A skin not fair enough like the moon's gentle glow,
Unplucked eyebrows, wild and free like a river's gentle flow.
Imperfect eyeliner tracing the contours of my soul,
And blush, a shade imperfect like a sunset's golden role.
In the symphony of your admiration there's a sweet harmony,
Where imperfections dance creating a unique melody.
For it's the one who saw me before the makeup's charade,
Who admired me as a girl one of a kind never to fade.
