Kissing God~

 

my dream

poured over with the ocean

boardwalk aquariums

filled with minnows

 

you

made of shadows

walked up against my back

dripping failure

you said

"Don't turn around until you close your eyes."

 

I lowered dark eyelash wings

to hide emerald planets

in deep sockets

you turned me by the shoulders

placed my palms against your face

"I trust you to keep them closed." you said

 

where my fingers traced

mercurial liquids

solidified

dense  flesh

bones took form

but you were yet without a heart

and said

"I'm going to kiss you now.”

 

across my lips a breeze

a taste of apples

of planets fresh from birth

 

with nectar you traced

uncertain smile of mine

with forked tongue

parted my lips

pushed through

with ease

fingertips against my brow

barely touching

press of delicious alchemy filling my cheeks

a sharp moment

an exhale

a gasp

"What did you do?"  I opened my eyes

working the inside of my throat around a diamond corona

 

the scarred man smiled

hollow eye sockets  spilling stars

down his cheeks

"I gave you the world since you think you can do a much better job."

 

the earth unfurled inside my belly

humanity exploded in all its indigence across my fingertips

as I protested

"But all I wanted was a latte."

 

he laughed

I pouted

"I'll still take you for coffee." he winked

 

~along a boardwalk

a not quite woman

 put her arm

 through a scarred god’s  elbow

as a cloud above them opened

to feed the moment with snowflakes;

needless to say

they would not kiss again

for a very long time . . . .~

LOL...blind date with a God... This is truly remarkable...as your usual! The scene you create is fantastic and natural all at the same time Selene. Your play of imagery is with a master's touch and paints such an interesting picture. And the humor you inject in this is winding! ""But all I wanted was a latte."" my favorite line...

We small humans think we know it all and criticize the gods...but in the end, we have no hold on this creation that is present.

Truly amazing and full of imaginations....which are though beautiful and characterized in its own way of feeling....
Thanks for sharing!!!!

I was always told that touching lighting was like kissing God. I now see why that analogy was use. Seems as though the subject got more then she bargained for but isn't that how it always pans out =)
Addendum: The best part was "I'll still take you for coffee." What a jerk, I love it.

[Blossom]

wow. Its different form your other work but all the same I love it.

I love the sensual touch here... every word spoken by silk throat... a pause... followed by a... sigh... fingers tracing, arms embracing, eyes gazing, shoelace lacing, lips bracing - themselves - face facing - show me a sign please!

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

I imagine there's no time for kissing since you're trying to do a better job than God with this planet that we call home. "Kissing God" is simply exquisite. I so envy your ability to sweep us all up into the air for a magic carpet ride through the fantasy world of your mind.

Just lovely!

seductive and serene - true to form for Selene

[Lachenille Papillion]

It's like one lone piece of silk, frazzled at one end, that someone else might discard... a subtle thought hardly noticed as society screams by at a roller-coaster pace... and your fingers entwine the thread and your mind begins the weaving... Nobody builds words into worlds the way you do, Selene... sigh

as for the blind dating thing... that will teach you to do things just to be nice to your friends... hee hee

very interesting, first kiss with a god. i felt like i was actually there because of the amount of detail you put into each description. this is a vital aspect of great writing...

which is exactly what you've got here. :)
