An Angel's Makeup

I take my make up off
Wash my  face free of artifice
Attempted faux mystique
Let my washed hair hang clean and pure and limp
Submission my offering
Untouched by arranging combs of design...

I wear only my translucent veil
Of purity
Thin as gossamer
So that you can see through
My soul and
Beyond it.

Like this I want to appear to
You
Clean and completed
With  every bit of goodness
My heart and nature is capable.

To be fair only in honesty
To be angel only in intention
Let my demeanor
Show only
how much
I love you
My eyes shine
Gratitude
for you
Your grace and mercy
In that alone
Will I
Be
Beautiful.
