Medusa

I catch the scent of roses

jasmine and dark amber

You perfume the very air

as you walk

with a serpents grace

Medusa

Who was so beautiful

before the curse

Still

You walk like a river

You drift like clouds

over the golden moon

All around you,statues

Men caught in time

Held still by your fierce gaze

Lips like wine

and breath like honey

Serpents child

You walk in beauty

I agree with your other reviewer (Kelly), about this one, and like how nicely you've linked such a tapestry of beautiful words; with that ancient legend of the Medusa. And, the idea of portraying medusa as a serpent's child; adds another unique touch. Keep writing! I also accept "read requests", on this site.

Wow! You evoke such awe in your delivery, Lindsey. My senses have been stirred with this awe-inspiring piece. You possess an eloquence with the written word and execute it brilliantly.
