Beauty has no skin to lick

[The second]

BEAUTY HAS NO SKIN TO LICK

Beauty has no skin to lick

There has never been any of us
Without the throbbing ugly eye

Shackle the obscene so
The artist can explore like a butterfly
Uncaptured
Oblivious to the mantis
The spider’s web

Anything that would devour the splendid wing
The murmur of a mother
The only sound you will never remember
Sending the creator to the flower
Smear the honey of the launch, onto the captain’s ship
All the intellect teaches you only
Hurled into murky cold beyond sisters preen
Where earrings glow
Skin withers away so we can love again
Memories become my ocean
I swim once more in dark cadence
Churning the swell
Jewels fall from my lips
Gathered into a crown
Never worn on any brow

Tony always a pleasure to hear from you thank you and you take care!

This is superb The second !! I agree with Tony... last 3 lines. AND this: All the intellect teaches you only
Hurled into murky cold beyond sisters preen
Where earrings glow
Skin withers away so we can love again
Memories become my ocean
