I have an all consuming, and forbidden, <br />Love affair with lipstick, <br />I cannot get enough of that coloured wax bullet, <br />It is an all consuming passion, <br />That slick of lipstick always in fashion. <br />But word on the street is, <br />You have to be a tart to wear it, <br />But maybe I love being a tart: <br />For wearing that slash of colour is perfection, <br />It is a love affair with lipstick, <br />That began long ago with cave girl, <br />Then Wonder Woman tested out, <br />Those illegal colours, <br />Supermodels following suit, <br />And, finally, I follow too, <br />With my fellow girlfriends, <br />And even the occasional male, <br />For lipstick is for everyone when on sale. <br />And I shall continue to apply that lipstick, <br />Even in secret, for it just has to be blended, <br />And matched with my outfit, <br />All colours my favourite, <br />Whether coral, red, pink, peach, purple or fuchsia, <br />I love all colours and love my passion, <br />That is my love affair with lipstick.<br /><br />Paula Glynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-love-affair-with-lipstick/
