Omen

windswept rolling sea, cloudly and forbiding, bird of prey watching and omen, red dress of power swirling,jewels at waist and throat and head for recognition and terra power.

 

 

 

 

                      Upon the windswept rolling sea

                        She under cloudy and forbidding skies of dark visage

                        In red dress of power swirling,

                        Jewels at waist and throat and head,

                        

                         Recognition of Terra Power.

                         Bird of Prey ….watching,

                         Omen.

 

 

Author's Note

if she were on the land ..not captured by the decks of this ...ocean bound vessel.. would her power return?

I don't know why but this poem makes me think about a mermaid! It may be that you as a poet may not have intended upon that but...it does!!!

Somehow I don't think I'd mind if she ate me :)

a little magic, a little intrigue, a magnificent piece of writing!

Power that rests in thought surely never disappears completely, and your words roll from a memory into a strange tribute vivid to that omen. Could she be luring you onto the rocks .. pulling you down and down?

[Raven Starhawk]

Mesmerizing words here. I feel as though it has deeper meaning though. I could be mistaken about that but it seems like there is something more to this, something emotional and maybe haunting. Or maybe I am reading too much into it. That sometimes happens but regardless I liked this.

Wow ... I see Her .. even now .. .. Powerless, to be ...

Artwork gave life to the words. I like the woman you create. Beauty and power is a dangerous combination. Thank you for the excellent poem.
