Brilliant!
Thanks!
This made me tear up. Make-up can be armor. Powerful writing!
You’re right. And, of course, nothing wrong with makeup at all. But there’s lots of beauty underneath it as well. Thanks!
A great spin on what most people believe makeup is for. I love it! 👏👏
Thank you!
You’re welcome 🙂
Wow, nice twist, and smooth af! Amazing use of words man!
Thanks. Sincerely. Maybe a bit smooth, but less so perhaps since it’s the truth. At least my truth, anyway.
That is beautiful indeed! The poem does convey that layer of depth to it!
Beauty in brevity, Benjamin 😊
Extra big thanks 🙂
Witty
Thanks.
Omg the way you turned this around. Damn clever. Witty original creative writing..
Really thanks for all those nice words. Have a fantastic rest of your day!
Welcome.. back at ya
So sweet. Very positive message too. Love it! 👏🙌
Thanks! Thanks!! Thanks!!!
You’re welcome. 🙏🙏🙏😊
Dear Benjamin, I feel like I’m seeing things. Came back to see if you replied, my earlier comment is gone or never was posted? Very strange. Anyway… very sweet poem. Love the message that natural is beautiful. As always you give it a very romantic twist as well. I like how Uzzawal put it, smooth af. But the feeling of sincerity rings through your work as usual. You are very loving and loyal to your muse, which makes your poetry a pleasure to read.
Thanks again. “Sincerity”: it’s a good word. “Loving and loyal”: these are good words also. My muse 🙂 well how could I ever say enough great things about her. She’s a bit of everything good in the world.
All those things personify you, at least from what I can tell… and your words stir up great feelings in the reader. It probably doesn’t make sense that I can be this happy for someone I don’t know, but I that’s the true effect your words have. She’s a lucky lady. :))
I’ll take that compliment. It’s extremely nice of you to say. I’d be more lucky, though. Thanks as always.
Such an excellent piece Ben. In its brevity you have said so much and taken the reader on an emotional journey. Love it! The sentiment is also very sweet and affirming.
Thank you. It’s always nice to have some affirmations in our lives. I like that you used this word; it’s an excellent one.
Aww. This is sweet 😍😍
Thank you kindly.
LOL. So devoted, you.
Thanks I think if you meet the right person there isn’t another way to be. Some people are worth giving everything to, even if you were to get nothing in return. And those are the people you shouldn’t let fall out of your life.
I agree!
This poem is so sweet, I love the love within it🙏💖🌷
Thanks. I’m glad you noticed that part of it.
Your love poems are a treasure💖
Thanks again. Thanks a lot. That’s a super special comment to me.
I sincerely mean it💖, it’s a positive experience to read about love, through your unique lens of perception.
Oh this is cheesy. Flirty lines.
Haha. I’m actually deathly allergic to cheese (and many other things), so I avoid it at all costs. But nothing wrong with flirting. However, there really is only one person in the world I’d want to flirt with. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Always much appreciated.
Oh my gosh. I loved this. 😂💙 Super cute.
Thanks big time!
hahaha Unexpected! 😀
Thanks. I always like that word when it comes to writing!
😀
Short but powerful! Amazing as always. 💞
Glad you appreciated it. With thanks!
You are charming;-) ✔
Thanks. That’s kind of you!
😁🙌 Quirky! I love it!
So glad! Thanks again!
Nice that you see the beauty underneath!
It’s the best thing to find/see in someone. Thanks for commenting!
You’re very welcome 😊
Oh, this is awesome!
ENORMOUS THANKS!!!
Somstimes, coming face to face with the real beauty in someone is enough to shatter the everything.
I have a massive underground lake full of tears right now, looking for that kind of breakage, desperate for the fountains that will follow.
Sometimes (ironically enough in a world selling so many fixes) only that kind if breakage will do.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree with you. And who really knew it would feel go to be shattered? Real beauty is the real magic.
