"eyebrow" poems
My name is Sara, a transgender chick Wanted a ***** was given a **** I hide it in knickers of satin and lace before sitting down to make-up my face, Next the prosthetics, I'm using two bits. Stuck to my chest, they'll do as my **** Now for my legs I'll put on false tan, I wouldn't do this if I were a man Alternative nights, a t-girl delights to sit on her bed and pull on new tights. I'll put on a dress, a cute one no less. Then for my shoes, high heels I choose A sandal style shoe as every girl knows not only looks cute, they'll show painted toes A bit of eyeliner, eyebrow definer, lipstick and blush, I'm now looking lush. I stand in the mirror all ready to go, there's only one question I just have to know. "Does my *** look big in this?" Poetry by Kaydee.

Four old friends Dead of winter small town Germany. Smoke rising from chimneys From cigarettes, and pipes From trains riding the rural rails From city spires And factories From airplanes Airplanes and Airplanes, From Airplanes. Smoke dancing and laughing Stinging and coughing Smoke in my hair and jacket In the pores of my skin Smoke in my eyes, Up the hill And through the woods Dead of winter Small town Germany Four old friends Walk two by two Three by one Four and four. Walk by the church, Down the creek, Up the hills, the hills And through the woods Small town Germany four old friends Dead of winter Cigar smoke and beer Cigarillos in a chain Smoke from crystalizing breath And fireworks Smoke from bonfires And tailpipes Smoke from airplanes Airplanes and airplanes Smoke from airplanes. Smoke stains and cigarette burns Little circles in my jacket Germany Four old friends dead of winter Small town Smoke tears Smoke promises Smoke memories that linger Like the faint nausea Of what-the-hell-has-happened. I watch the **** end of your last cigarette Crumpled and fading In the ashtray of that Badischer bar And your eyebrow twitched The heart-wrenching shiver Of what-the-hell-has-happened. And I whispered: (airplanes) airplanes and airplanes I whispered airplanes. That’s what the hell.

The snow leopard and the little fox were sound asleep. The leopard curled up around the young fox keeping them both warm in the cold weather. As the sun started to arise the leopard awoke from his slumber. He then softly pat his little young fox apprentice's head, "Wake up little one. A new day awaits us," he said with a smile as he stood on all fours and stretched out his back. The little fox grunted and yawned "It's too early," she whined as she curled up tighter, "The sun isn't even fully up in the sky yet" was her rebuttal to his awakening. The leopard took her by the scruff and softly tossed her into the snow covered field. "Ahhh!~Ooof." The little fox yelled as she tumbled into the snow. "You know what they say, the early bird catches the worm, the early cat catches the bird." The leopard laughed slightly as he spoke, watching the little fox stand up all covered in fresh snow from last nights fall. "Well what's that have to do with me?!?" the fox shouted slightly, being slightly agitated about him tossing her. The leopard smirked as he walked by her and pat her head again, dusting off the snow, "It has everything to do with you, it has everything to do with everyone. It means the sooner you wake the more you can do. The more time you have in the day to do what you want," the leopard exclaimed with pride and excitement in his voice, "Do you ever ask yourself why there is so much left you want to do by the end of the day but just didn't have enough time? Well this helps you get more done. It gives you more time." The little fox tilted her head slightly to he side and looked down a bit, "I guess you are right," she said softly. Not knowing what else to say, she stood up and shook the snow off of herself then rush over to the leopard. "So what lesson will I learn today?" she asked eagerly. The leopard smiled as they started walking, "Didn't you just learn something?" he said as he raised an eyebrow. The little fox giggled softly and started pouncing around him laughing happily and saying "Well yea. But I want to learn more." The leopard laughed and looked to her, "Slow and steady wins the race little one. Slow and steady. we will find something for me to teach you, or for us to learn, as time goes on." he said softly but wisely as they kept walking into the woods, away from the sunrise.

How deadly is the sight of the flying witch, she's mighty and flawless, her name is Lynn elegant and graceful in her broom she'll go, All of her victims had that exact same thought. She seizes you with kind words and for your soul offers you gold. With her, you enjoy flying, for you trust you won't fall. Once in her cave, she speaks with friendly words she fills your belly and fabricates a loving home, It's hard to see her as from the underworld It's hard to see what's about to come. Before you realize she attempts to take control, eating the brains of whom you call your own. She's yelling and screaming, how putrid is her soul. The witch is evil, but no one cares of what you know. Now down the stairs she complacently goes, raises an eyebrow, it's diabolical, it's smug she then smiles to her husband, a mere puppet of hers Satan is that woman, the witch who yells.

The witch who yells
I can tell by the way you look at me, one eyebrow cocked upward while examining my so called perfection. Completely astonished by my beauty, the beauty I don't even see in myself. Peering out of the right corners of your deep brown eyes without tilting your head at even the slightest angle because you don't want me to know you still think about me. But I've noticed you can't look away. You can't look away because that may be the last time you ever see my face. And the thought of that being your last chance to catch a glimpse at my sparkling blue eyes destroys you. You just can't look away, and that's how I know you still love me (even though you wish you didn't).

I remember the first time you tasted champagne. As the golden nectar effervesces down your throat, you whispered my name. I raised an eyebrow and wondered why, you said, “You’re everything this glass contains.” They tell me the tale of Dom Pérignon who said, “I am tasting the stars” after a sip of his own creation. You’ve always loved me like I tasted of stars, and I loved you like you put the stars where they belonged. We made the mixture of magnificence, until we were twisted too much on the shelves. Pop, bubble, hiss--- all shaken up everything we bottled up spilled down until nothing else is left. I was champagne until I became your problem. And somewhere in between the lines, we got lost in translation I didn’t know where to find you, didn’t know how else to meet you halfway, but there was pain whichever path I take. I was already walking the track for the exiled, I didn’t realize right away. Others hide a ring in the glass, But we put the problem in the champagne, babe. Soon it will taste differently to you, All sweet and sparkling—no strings attached like it used to. But the stars are no longer where they used to be. Every sip will wash down any trace of me, until you forget. But it will forever linger on my lips; and I’ll always remember it all too well.

Champagne Problems
Light brownish **** lip stain to match the season, Gold eye liner to make my brown eye color lighter, Concealer and foundation to even out the skin tone, bronze pink blush to add a bit of color and define my cheek bones, Medium brown eyebrow pencil to perfect my eyebrows, A stripped black and tan shirt with a brown scarf, blue jeans and black boots; Hair is in a delicate curly updo so that my face gets more attention, Burberry perfume to bring a soft delicate trail of her aroma, my make up looks natural yet it adds color and defines the beautiful features of my face. I do this not to cover my flaws, not because I am insecure, not for attention, Simply because I want to pamper myself. simply because I deserve to look pretty. simply because I want to be as beautiful on the outside that I am on the inside.

You breathed your last breath from the air in this room; that threadbare Persian carpet holds flakes from your skin; hairs from your head corkscrew the dented cushions scattered and idly waiting on the sofa; bed linen scented with your sweat the goose down doona that stole your last warmth; sleep spit and tears human moisture that permeates the acrylic layers of your pillow; an eyebrow hair wedged in the tweezers; a clipped nail that flew off somewhere out of sight; that new toothbrush used only once; your flannel and towel still drying out; the wet press footprint on the bathroom mat; the talcum powdered slippers abandoned under the brass bed. Each moment of everyday we shed ourselves shed dead cells and renew - a cycle of shedding until the last shedding of ourselves. © M.L. Emmett

Here at Kinkos We have a saying, “copies of copies” You are trained to always ask for a source file The digital file of the picture the camera took The negatives of digital cameras You see because when you print a picture from that file it’s the best it will ever be Every detail captured in that moment stored in bits and bytes ready If you make a copy of that picture it will never be as good And if you make a copy of that copy it’ll be even worse And if you were to make a copy of the hundredth copy of the ninety ninth copy you might not even recognize the image Whether it’s a speck of dust on the scanner Or a crease in the print out Sun stains from prolonged exposure to the elements Or simply from time Copies never look as good as the original Even if you try and protect them And even if you were to magically protect that photo from any external forces The next copy still won’t be the same quality A scanner can never pick up every detail from the print on the glass Copies of copies are never the same Sometimes the printer is calibrated different Sometimes it’s a heavy magenta day Sometimes it’s a saturated cyan day Maybe you touched her face when you handed it over And now every copy has a feint of your thumb print above her eyebrow You had him taped to your rearview mirror for a whole year And now every copy you make has a glare where the tape used to be It blocks out his heart shaped hands he was making you from the bus window Folded in your wallet and now all the copies have white spaces where her face was I mean where the creases were I’ve heard that when you remember something you are simply remembering the last time you remembered it Memories of memories So that after you’ve remembered her a thousand times you’ve forgotten all the details you forgot to remember the time before So that the more you remember something, the faster you’ll forget Maybe that’s why we forget exes faster than family Maybe that’s why we forget the great parts of high school before the painful ones I remember that you had red hair, that your eyes were kind, that your hands fit my cheek I remember that you were bad at pool and that it felt like love, and if it wasn’t you’re the only one that knew it And now I’m wondering after all these years what I’m forgetting to remember What I forgot to remember last time What did I forget this time What won’t I remember next time Memories of memories Like copies of copies Fading over time If I never wanted to forget the best moments of my life Should I never remember them Is the fastest way to forget the bad ones To remember them often

You left me with all these memories The way you stir your coffee That eyebrow you would raise Your quiet confidence Your understated Elegant style Your knowing ways You had me at hello And now at goodbye Always and still you amaze I'm a better man for loving you A sadder man for losing you I'm not going through a phase Just reminiscing, maybe convincing myself That I'm gonna be OK Dreams come in two varieties Those of tomorrow or the other For me, for us, there is only the past Why I dream only of yesterday I have no choice It just turned out that way I can almost touch you at times But when I try, you turn away

Past Perfect
"Hey, Charles! I won't be back." His friend yells out before Continuing to eat the face off Of the young Latino he had met. "Ok! I guess I can get home.. Somehow..." He mumbles to himself, signaling to the Bartender that he wanted to order Something off menu. He pays no attention to the trans Woman who sits down beside him. "I'll have a watermelon sangria, please." he requests softly, but confidently. The lady by him chuckles, "Watermelon? That's odd." Her voice is rich with flavor, And humor. "It is odd. But so am I." He mumbles. "It seems that way, doesn't it? Well, at least now I can call you Melon Rather than ask your name!" "A rather odd nickname for an odd person." And so their conversation continued. It became all the more lively once 'Melon' had had a couple rounds. Both drunk and desperate, they Kiss passionately in the gay bar, Paying no heed to the others Yelling "Get a room!" Roaming hands. Stumbling up stairs. Drunken giggles. Broken speech. "You're so beautiful." He whispers. Skin against skin, Burning hot,   Both mad with desire. Panting. Groaning. Moaning. Ecstasy. It's late at night. They manage to call A taxi, and go home. Home to Melon's apartment. The next morning was spent Drinking ****** Mary's and Making an account of what Happened the night before. That, and more *** Hot, ****** *** Passionate, lively And loving *** Charles sits up in his bed. He feels something sticky. "Oh, that's disgusting!" ****** *** indeed. He stands up to clean himself Off in the bathroom, but he Hears the shower running. "Did I get laid last night?" He peeps into the shower And sees the woman from His dream. "Eva?" He asks. "Who else would it be?" "Why are you in my apartment?" Charles exclaims. Eva turns and Raises an eyebrow at him. "I live here, Melon." "Since when? We hooked Up just last night!" "Darlin', we've been married for 4 years!"

He raises his left eyebrow when he stares at my face. Is it seductive or a pleased and attracted tic? To me that eyebrow is perfect. So is his skin and the way he hugs me from behind. I am fulfilled with each touch. And every word I hear in his voice lifts and pleases my left eyebrow.

Profile: Yuwen Chengdu is the son of Yuwen Huaji, who was a general of the Sui dynasty. He is a warrior of Sui, only secondary to Li Yuanba, who is naturally super powerful. As recorded, he was as tall as ten feet with strong waist and body. In the appearance of golden face, long beard and thick eyebrow, he often hold a weapon as heavy as 350 pounds. Introduction of ****** makeup: ****** makeup, or Lian Pu, refers to ****** designs for Jing and Chou roles. It originated from daily life experience, describing such changes of expression as white for fear, red for shyness, dark for suntan, and sallow for illness. Most ****** designs attach great importance to the eyes.  The ****** designs for the Jing roles are made by painting, powdering and coloring in the basic forms of Zheng Lian (keeping the basic face pattern), San Kuai Wa Lian (three-section face) and Sui Lian (fragmentary face). These types are widely used to represent generals, officials, heroes, gods and ghosts. The Chou actors can be recognized by the patch of white in various shapes painted around the eyes and nose. Sometimes these patches are outlined in black, hence the term Xiao Hua Lian (partly painted face). The Chou roles fall into the following two categories: Wen Chou and Wu Chou. Features: ****** makeup bears three main characteristics. Firstly, it is the unity and contradiction of beauty and ugliness. Secondly, it is closely related to the personality of the characters. Lastly, the patterns are stylized. Beijing opera is one of the most popular drama widely welcomed and loved, no matter home and abroad. It is now acknowledged as a sign of Chinese traditional culture. The photos of ****** mask can be found on large buildings, product packages, various porcelains and clothes. It has gone beyond the stage, from which we can see the deep influence of ****** makeup. More and more foreigners have interest in it and begin to explore the secret of ****** makeup. http://www.toywill.com

I pull into my driveway and my neighbor is standing in front of his door wearing a wife beater and basketball shorts that go to his mid calf with his bare feet shoved into slides that are too small and he's owned since 2005. nearly every part of him is large, except he's 5'7: his beer belly protrudes from his ribbed cotton shirt his his ego escapes from his perpetually messy house (his door is wide open, all the cold air is escaping, it smells like cigarettes and being ******* over it). he watches me park his woman (I have to set this picture, there is no better term) stands up straight at right underneath his eyebrow and glares at me in unison I let my hand trace the chair sitting on my front porch for a few seconds and wonder why I’ve never sat here before, residue rain falls from the outside banister and I feel as at home as I’ve ever felt in this stupid god forsaken piece of **** apartment my neighbors are still watching me and I realize it’s because they don’t recognize me because I'm really never here with the hair on my arms all standing up in unison I unlock my door and step inside drop my money and count my keys my knees are rusty, I feel small there’s only so many times you can do this and only so many times I can too

I see all my dreams tumbling down (the name of the drink I drank that gave me this awful hangover)
Curiosity is a silver eyebrow, Raising itself to question the world. It stands upon being asked something, Curiosity is an eyebrow being curled. Curiosity is made of silver hairs, Of the aged people of this life. Living longer than the vibrant colors, That haven't yet faced struggles or strife. For curiosity is a silver eyebrow, A feeling making the world unfurled, an aged question wondering why, We do what we do in this world.

Curiosity
Life is like a melody Strumming to a love song He who always smiles gently Begins to hum along. Sitting at one corner She looks at him shyly He sings his heart to her Someone he loves dearly. Coffee is their favorite To share with each other One in each episode Of their love story together. He strums while waiting there Brown teddy bear by his side Flowers placed everywhere For proposal to his future bride. He nervously make his vow Asks for her hand in marriage She kisses him on his eyebrow Crowd cheers as they embrace. ©joieyin

Every Time I talk She greets me with a raised eyebrow. Whenver I tease She frowns with her right eyebrow. I never knew A raised eyebrow could hold so much meaning. Whenver u raise Your right eyebrow, It feels like a touch , It feels like a hug, It feels like a kiss.

Raised Eyebrow
Sometimes I trust my instinct, but it tells me to do things in ways that no one dares It can implore me there, to take paths no one walks I fear the fresh footsteps I make on the new brick road I'm a social animal, a human; doing what others do seems the right thing to do Once you're a bit different, society condemns They raise an eyebrow, they don't give their consent; But I've seen great people do great things Because they had faith in their instincts. They have the drive to keep going, To try and even fail. I'd very much like to do the same, At least I have real control over my own doings. If I succeed, I have only my instincts to celebrate. If I fail, I have only my flaws to blame. Everything under my possession, Ne te quaesiveris extra, as they say It's your life to do, your life to bear.

Trust your own instincts.
there's no rip cord -- your stuck in this stinking shell, success measured by inches, lipstick badged for lions, punchlines thrown like lettuce at the bravo males, there's no rip cord -- the evaluation preemptive, a crooked eyebrow and a sigh with the lights on, a slow grind of inadequacy leading to a clumsy spew, there's no rip cord -- so most bludgeon bashful cheeks with wedding bands -- a life locked in rolling pupil sheets, a kid, a fence, a lawyer, and an itchy trigger finger stirred and served with a green olive.

mixed cocktail
mind stands solemnly in the middle, with logic and emotion on either side like devoted sentinels guarding a queen. "don't think about it," emotion says, batting her long lashes. "just do what feels right and follow your heart." "but sometimes," logic interjects with his sharp eyebrow cocked, "what feels right will hurt us in the long run." "do you want to try, and know, and fail?" emotion asks with suprisingly honest conviction. "or do you want to spend the rest of your life wondering what could have been?" "would you rather open your heart," logic counters thoughtfully and quickly, "and have a part of it stolen? or would you rather protect it all?" as mind wavers in the middle, she feels herself rip in two. half of herself stands upright, stiffly held under logic's watchful eye. the other half melts into emotion's warm embrace. her heart aches and she feels sick. the idea of following logic's advice would mean to ignore emotion's advice-- and to follow emotion's advice would mean ignoring the advice of logic. she looks back and forth pleadingly. logic's cadaverous stare seems to tell mind that only logic will solve this problem. but emotion smiles softly, and her eyes say that this way, though it may cause pain, will be the most rewarding. "neither choice is the right one," mind says finally, with a little bit of logic and a little bit of emotion. "but i must choose now, for soon i will not be able to make a choice at all. "then whose advice will you follow?" emotion questions carefully. "will you open your heart to love?" "or will you listen to me and protect yourself from unnecessary pain?" logic asks, eyebrow cocked again. "perhaps you are correct, logic, and i would do well to seal off my heart and never let anybody in." at these words, logic smirks knowingly, but mind continues anyway. "as for me, i think i would rather feel true, burning love and have to live with the scars than to be lonely, bitter, angry, and old and die without ever knowing how to love myself and somebody else." emotion does not gloat; she simply nods softly, encouraging mind to continue. "after all, is life not a journey of risks? how could we ever find peace and contentment without enduring a few bad decisions and learning from them?"

logic and emotion
mind stands solemnly in the middle, with logic and emotion on either side like devoted sentinels guarding a queen. "don't think about it," emotion says, batting her long lashes. "just do what feels right and follow your heart." "but sometimes," logic interjects with his sharp eyebrow cocked, "what feels right will hurt us in the long run." "do you want to try, and know, and fail?" emotion asks with suprisingly honest conviction. "or do you want to spend the rest of your life wondering what could have been?" "would you rather open your heart," logic counters thoughtfully and quickly, "and have a part of it stolen? or would you rather protect it all?" as mind wavers in the middle, she feels herself rip in two. half of herself stands upright, stiffly held under logic's watchful eye. the other half melts into emotion's warm embrace. her heart aches and she feels sick. the idea of following logic's advice would mean to ignore emotion's advice-- and to follow emotion's advice would mean ignoring the advice of logic. she looks back and forth pleadingly. logic's cadaverous stare seems to tell mind that only logic will solve this problem. but emotion smiles softly, and her eyes say that this way, though it may cause pain, will be the most rewarding. "neither choice is the right one," mind says finally, with a little bit of logic and a little bit of emotion. "but i must choose now, for soon i will not be able to make a choice at all. "then whose advice will you follow?" emotion questions carefully. "will you open your heart to love?" "or will you listen to me and protect yourself from unnecessary pain?" logic asks, eyebrow cocked again. "perhaps you are correct, logic, and i would do well to seal off my heart and never let anybody in." at these words, logic smirks knowingly, but mind continues anyway. "as for me, i think i would rather feel true, burning love and have to live with the scars than to be lonely, bitter, angry, and old and die without ever knowing how to love myself and somebody else." emotion does not gloat; she simply nods softly, encouraging mind to continue.

All these silly stupid little trees dripping wet with awkward leaves, while I drip with smoke & write my loneliness with eyebrow pencils, idle in my idiocy & thinking of nothing else but thee, a banquet for the bony dancing boldly in the silence, made up with pale make-up & trafficking in tall tales, all these stupid ugly little people, they taste like disease, but even in a crowd all I see is thee.
