Pale

There's a big problem I have

Pale skin is always, always

Compared to alabaster

Or porcelain, you know

One of those stones or

Man-made ceramics that

For all their beauty

Are simply cold, hard

And achingly lifeless

And that simply won't do

When the arms that held me

Are warm, and so full of life

That the simple act of touch

Restores me and breathes 

New life into my smile
