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.

[Brad]

bahahahahahahaha...that's because you didn't date Gad....or his son BC...but hey...not everyone can be so blessed...

you made something exsquisite out of your experience...i could read this over and over again

[Kerry O'Connor]

You do not shy away from the bigger picture - this is story-telling on a grand scale - the act of creation/ destruction.

[Michael X]

a sensuous masterpiece Selene, your words flow with a picture by picture
emphasis on the meaning. the feeling that is sparked is a full color
landscape of beauty

[:)]

Don't you love the new? It withers away into an experience where wisdom is birthed from.

You are a most wonderful writer...

I think I am inspired to write now :)
Thanks ;)
