Analysis of Lipstick
The souls entered his eyes like pearls
The white shells coloured in linear light
Closed around them like white spiders from the ocean
His angular chin was like a dolphin transforming the worlds view
As lipstick landed on him like a velvet claw.
Powder sanded his skin like a parrot dusting its colourful wings.
He swung his strength and his focus was full in effect.
Cracking the ground with his perfect reflect.
