ReGenesis~

~OracleSeries~

My boat is made of pupae

dry butterflies flap paper wings in the breeze

the men on shore

watch the clouds drown in my heavenly arms

open to the grace of the agony in the ink band lining

of the atmosphere

 

Eyes in gold fragments

lash out in curls of feathers painting the frame

the willow tree

open to the body of the sacrifice in ferns

a rectangle of parchments in the cream of melting hips

 

My book is made of skin

a cylindrical body in pearls reclines into the spine

for wildflower bindings

a half moon delivering itself above the scene

in the distance an echo

a dragonfly pressed between each and every page

 

Once upon a time I had an island all my own

with a central cave

the battalions threw their men onto the shores

boots made of clotted blood

hands made of involuntary sins

I gave them tea on the edge of their swords

as they commented how from the distance

the cave

bore the face of a mantis

preying

 

If I crack my shell here, today

to pour sunshine marmalade onto the canvas

the trail ends

and will not go beyond the taste of cinnamon apples

baked in a kiln by the edge of this ocean

where mythology sleeps in rows of herbs

stirring

 

My boat is made of pupae

body a composite of wings that land on me every night

each patterned with a distinct flavor of love

hate

desire

misery

building me

up

for the voyage;

my boat is made of pupae

I'm lost for words, you've used them all! This is an amazingly stunning, surreal, imaginative, creative and all other similar words piece of writing.

You've created a space way out in arms of another infinity .. its queen a unique being able to love and be loved like nothing or nobody else. I don't know what to say, mind-blown with the beauty and emotion of it, Selene

"a dragonfly pressed in between each page" I loved this image.


Vividly intriguiging~

The beautiful thing is the fact that you had the sense to know the code could be rewritten, the makeup restructured. And my oh my how you've recreated yourself. Your voyage is one of epic enchantment.

[Kerry O'Connor]

This is an exquisite piece. I was mesmerized by the combination of words, sounds and imagery.

[Kesha]

Such a stunning write! The imagery is wonderful! I am so glad I read this poem! A great read! :)

[Crowley]

This had such a historical and strangely almost biblical feel to it, not sure if its the words or the tone evoked from the images and the pace, but this was extremely cool. And the title was as fitting as any could be, the repeating lines driving that point home for sure. If you were a band...you would be a death metal band because you rock so hard.....fantastic.

[My Fair Lady]

Ah Selene, what an inspiration you are. This is by far my favorite of your pieces.

[David W Moore III]

In a word: stunning, breathtaking,expanding (okay that was three words, but one word wasn't enough. I love the hint of evolution and evolution not quite finished. What will we see? It can be nothing short of wonder!

[Amber Betty Marie Child..]

Journey istic childs movie scratching at a different layer of skin. Its peter pan made by tim burton and a fantasia twist and i am lovin it. The muse really makes a grown up stance but i really love how the most brilliant poets got that kid in em, keeping imagination and individuality

[Matthew Kult]

Hello Selene,

I do love the very surreal feel I get from this. rewriting the code into a rebirth. A change from what you were to something new. I don't see you breaking out of your shell, but I could be wrong. Excellent work as always.

With love always,

Matthew

If anyone can rewrite their code, it is you~

I felt a dream-like state covered in a light veil of smoky fog. I'll be your light house any day =)
