You cant resist my golden curves,
my haughty angelic reserve,
I am the colors in a painter's palette,
the irresistible Charlotte.
...
She blew five candles
On her cake, angel
In a pink dress, hair
In little pigtails
...
As I sit on my high chair,
My mother, she feeds me,
With a tiny silver spoon,
Mashed carrots and potatoes,
...
Tender skin seized with teeth
magnetic rush, poetic hush,
Little bit of pressure,
Crumbs of love, slight pull,
...
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
The number of candles you blew,
And the number a years that flew
...
Thin is in, thin is in
Bodies like paper, thin as fin
Thin as pencil, anemic skin
Portfolio of ribs, crying within
...
Wrapped in shinny wrappers,
golden, red, silver and brown,
chocolate, the king of sweets,
everyone's favorite treat,
...
In all these dried mornings
And clear untold evenings
With My rambles and scribbles
My laments and stories
...
Then with the fall of every dropp of rain,
From nimbus with a grudge,
Into the lap of lush green trees,
Splash my mother's green roof
...
I have lived life a thousand years
at that one moment
when i hid in our arms,
as i looked in your eyes,
...
Party in the sky
You are invited to a splendid party, high in the sky
It is the best of the season you cant deny
...
Abandoned summer,
Hotter than the desert sand,
My bare body,
Trembles in your arms,
...
Under the broken bridge,
On that one silent night,
In acute misery, Rhapsodic agony,
Enraptured tunes
...
The day I loved you
My dear, I am all praise for
Your love and compassion,
Attentive gaze, The way you
...
I am the Love Goddess,
Wearing a Grecian robe,
My skin like marble
White, bathed in milk,
...
Drunk is the night,
Drunk with rain,
Drunk as I am
With ur kisses insane.
...
This is the part of me,
You want to love,
This the part of me,
You want to take,
...
In this tradition of hypocrisy,
Rich sea of shams,
Virtue hides behind sanctimony,
Watch dogs are drooling at the prize,
...

*as Beautiful As Me''
You cant resist my golden curves,
my haughty angelic reserve,
I am the colors in a painter's palette,
the irresistible Charlotte.
My eyes look like the sun in twilight,
fields of carnations smothered in sunlight.
I am as warm as sand, cool as dewdrops,
skin like the desert sand, making your breath stop.
I am sorry, you cant take your eyes off me,
Lilly of the valley, coral drops, potpourri
I am as true as a prayer, beautiful as a painting,
pure as mother's milk, ethereal beckoning.
It ain't my fault you fell in love,
my voice rings like bells, treasure trove,
as hot as a kiln, wet as a paint brush
lustrous hair, satin sheen, poetic hush.
l am as refreshing as water, I bring out the best in you
blazing star, trust me, you have the best view.
l am as plain as vanilla ice cream, crafty labyrinth
as dreamy as bed time stories, merely Jacinth
Don't blame me if you cant stop the feeling,
you were warned of the bolt of lightning
as bubbly as champagne, truthful as a mirror
I can read your thoughts, sexy conjuror
I am as kind as music, as witty as a child,
I cant help it if that drives you wild
tough as armour, brittle as toffee,
I am one of a kind, only as beautiful as me.
Beautiful and brutal, crafted in bleak reality, an uncomfortable joy to have read. Paul B
