Maricolous~

Something beautiful

uncommon

washed up on the shore

it’s hair was tangled  with  dreams lost

its skin flaked with white  seashells

ribs, curled scrolls beneath a quiet heart

eyelids half closed on little fish darting through a green iris

a white iris cradled in a ruby wash of burst capillaries

 

In a half curl of hip impressions

nude

broken on the rocks of a jagged world

it was still somehow lovely

despite

or because of

lavender and onyx spots

a water leopard in hematomas crawling the curve of broken spine

ivory arms bound with seaweed

a white garbage bag rippling a mermaid tail

its lower extremities a fairy tale

brought to its broken knees;

it reposed

discarded

washed by  ocean of foam

I see her everywhere... She is becoming more common of a sight, unfortunately in this so-called evolved world we are forced to reside in. The unique pure of heart souls, (animals & humans), are half eaten and spit back up by those who are selfish dark hearts whom think with their pocketbooks. She IS still beautiful no matter what has happened, she is irony tenfold. Society needs to look into this mirror of truth, we all have a voice and a choice to help or to ignore...
The imagery is crystal to the point of wanting to scoop her up and nurse her back into her self. A bittersweet write that will haunt me.

They crawl through us--not we through them.

Crazy images in this one, reminded me of Cry for the Strangers by John Saul for some reason. Nice to see you back and around....we missed you. Great stuff sistahhhh.....

still lovely in a jagged world

[Wildfleour]

A masterpiece. I felt this rather than read it.

[MuSe Ampoule]

The breaking of dreams expressed in intense and unimaginable beauty. Passionate in its despair. Lovely work as always!

And Selene's in the house!!!!

Oh how beautiful this image is... absolutely pristine descriptions of beauty battered on the rocks of life and left for the tide to take away.
Straight up one of the most astounding and indelible things I've ever read from your pen.

brilliant!! such strong imagery - you paint a picture we can all come into - also such big comparisons - the white and the red, the beauty and the ugly, the poetry and the science - brilliant!!!
