Simplicity~

~painting poetry~

your branches

dip

leaves  stroke

my blush vulnerability

I curl from a crème colored shell

soak through a landscape of leaves

fingers submerge knuckle deep

earth in my life line

a pebble sinks her body between my brows

terrestrial starbursts

fresh mud smears

my laugh lines in ochre and sable

jade iris

cerulean iris

planets in an ivory skull

your press from underneath

mandrake threading my sacral nerves              

root fibers caressing my pelvis          

pushing                                            

me               

into the blue sky;                                 

on a breath                    

we                           

are                                 e

      ~                             n

           ~                       r

Though..
The name of the poem is simplicity..
Pattern is so complex….
I had to read it two times…
To fathom the depth..
Of your writing….
It seemed like unraveling a mathematical problem…
But enjoyed the process…
But in the end I am not satisfied….
As there can still be so many patterns of meanings…
Apart from what I understood….
That much philosophical….
Loved it so much…

A firework display for the senses. A perfect mixture of magic, sensuality and life intertwined with nature. Lovely, lovely painting~

I was wondering what enobria meant lol...This is a different set up to what I'M used to but its very good. Your poem flows nicely. Good job.

It was too early in the morning for me when I read it first! Sorry to be so dense... Now it unfolds... and how nicely the poem reads from the bottom to the top...

I like to go that way, as well as the other way...

Oooh, wow... I wish you and all of the others could feel what this just did to me... And I had to read it aloud... I was compelled to. I am in love with this play on nature and form and your use of...type... Makes me want to begin my shugyo again...

I enjoyed very much the words trailing down the growth like leaves from a hanging basket, with colourful flowers and pleasing images of nature... I felt it spoke of love-making and key words like strokes, blush, sinks, press, pushing stimulated that idea... but then I was lost and confused by the final unfolding of enrobia - a new word for me. I looked it up and found it was the name of a band... so that threw out all my ideas! So I don't know what to think!

A very enriching portrayal of earth and human combined as one, floating in the universe with emotions high and soaring, needing only a bond with nature to survive. It is an uplifting and positive look into what nature truly gives; a catapult of spirit delving into the hallucinogenic state of simplicity, naked and stripped to its essential form; a shotgun blast of clarity, a warm breath, a screaming orgasm.

Excellent work. Nothing to add as I am sure it has all been said.
