PaperCut~

Her face

there is a story in her face

Eden plumps her berry lips

connects to the dimpled diamond at the tip of her chin

a fractal silver ring in a flared nostril

inhaling blossoms slipping through a portal

drawn in an origami cube

hovering somewhere between completion

and immortal rhymes

 

Her skin is white with capillary trails

drawn in blue smoke

a blur of shifting screens playing colors

in frames of white gauze

her lids

lined with sandalwood

hickory in her pores

uneven blush lights

like rope trails at the jaw line

 

A slide of peel skin

like a  ribbon of blood rind

curls back from the bone frame of a cheek

carefully

to the sound of music

opaque in its pitch

sharp in a note

like a razor

against the shutters of a camera

the smile lost somewhere between a depression

a click

 

Her face

there is a story in her face

cross stitched

with paper cuts

invisible to the spectrums

trimmed back in layers

to complement the folds

of the origami

in pink

between the fingers of the stone yakuza;

blue is the color of the mood

blood is the fable

and the cost

Silk and silent etchings of beauty and depth in painful reality and surreal consciousness, with a symphony of words tuned to perfection as only your mind to hand can do. One of your very best, dear Poet~

Message to Heich~ Selene has several books published, and I'm sure she'll direct you towards to her website so you can view the titles for future reading. I've read them all, and I will tell you honestly that she is the very best poet you will ever read. I have my review of her first book on my website, here's the link in case you would like to read it: http://theartisansandbox.xitti.com/groups/11

You have magic.. your images and use of color and the language , your mind bring forth so many surreal poems, so very descriptive ...
You have much talent .. I am honored to read your beauty.

"opaque in its pitch

wow...

Shamanic psychotropic of pleasure-pain that conjures my own lyric phrase "razor rainbows" associationally.

Musically, I'm reminded of Hiatt's song "Paper Thin," too, about cutting one's finger on the corner of the night. Your poem take the analogy further, to the face.

Like a roman candle going off, your words blast context to reveal the iridescent entrails of pure emotion, a furious beauty.

The whole defies reviews, spawning other poetic galaxies from a surgeon's silent soul howl.

You perform what I might call the Arc of Eros, a shredding martial art of defying settled interpretation, spinning vortices of desire, heart, mind, more thoroughly than anyone I've read, a beautiful ninja assassin of stasis, unveiling a fractal pattern of life's crimson edges.

One honors your trails via blown-mind further fireworks. Such pure expression as yours is razor blood lightning about ITSELF.

Again you entice us as if describing the unseen through the lens of a camera. This is what you see in the mirror a dark, yet beautiful spirit, the hidden gems of a woman.
The metaphors you use here "origami cube" being the one that springs to mind are both abstract and yet enthralingly beautiful.

Gorgeous rhythm here. Enticing, sexy, dark. Thoroughly enjoyable and thanks once again for sharing :)

Wow this is a beautiful poem describing a dark side of a woman. Especially the last stanza sent shivers down my spine of the way she was described in such a creepy way. You make her sound so interesting yet just like she is from a horror movie. I have the urge to want to shake her heand and meet her but there is a part of me that feels scared of what she could do. As all dark poems they do find away to get to the reader to make them feel uncomfortable with the spooky imagery from the poem it will freak out some readers for sure. So readers beware of the dark tone in this poem!!!

[Sweet_pale_cacophony]

Ah!!!..now this was very very good,very artistic and very rich.There is a certain razor sharpness quality to your writes,each word you chose is perfect..beautiful..
