yellow pale fascination

more than a beautiful surface...inspired by Norma Jean - Marilyn

 

who’s breast beneath fluff

spun buttercup candy

man talk insidious brutish clueless

figure only comeliness

savant orbit… undulating about her

emanating child like thoughts with woman’s glow

noble and learned…more than most wanted to contemplate

you man…men simply inquiring of curves and chemise

never asking beyond material

conglomerate lovely…reversed black and blue bruises

from misinterpretations…yours

distant language where death is slayer protector

at last authentic perfection... unbreakable

 

a whisper

 

porcelain yellow

 

forsaken

 

fascinating

So true and wonderful what you have shared here with your listeners and readers. Normal is boring indeed for we need to stand out, to shine with different light, to paint with unique colors. Authentic perfection is not breakable and leave a lasting impression and inspiration. Excellent...:)....................

It is...why I don't like "normal" writing either. I write exactly what I'm attracted to...something that not me but is.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. I understand. You are welcome...:)..................

Yes, a women is much more than she seems. I was inspired to write this tiny gift poem for you which you may keep as your own:

Looking Deeper

Surfaces of land and sea,
or the clouds that mask the sky
are not all that we may see
through a deep discerning eye.

Looking deeper we’ll find free
swimming creatures passing by,
tangled roots that feed each tree,
and bright galaxies on high.

GASP, that is beautiful Aethereal. Thank you for leaving me with such a savory morsel and I think you should expand on this one and turn it into a poem on your page.

People are blind at times, and that facade seems tarnished in the light of day...if you look deeper you always find flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. I love Marilyn by the way, you always put your own unique twist on an old perspective. Great read.

I have always been fascinated by her and not her beauty although she is/was. I was struck by her presence and who she was behind the scenes and her poetry...I think she was real underneath the façade created for her and not given her due...from what I've read. Thanks Frieda for the love.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with you there, somehow she has too much depth to her eyes to be as shallow as they painted her. Always my friend.

A lot of emotion and lilting imagery in this piece Shirlena...there is certainly an underbelly of bitterness regarding genders, though I should point out that not all men are like this...we're not all brutes and some of us actually do have a clue. But I do like this piece very much...it's the first one I've read by you but I will definitely be checking out more of your work soon :)

Hi Kubla, this is not my personal assessment of men...this is someone else's portrait I'm describing lol. I don't feel this way about men at all but I am glad to see that you can be objective which makes me even more excited about you reading this. Thank you.
