Girl~

I am not small

but I could fit into the center of your universe

if you are reaching for me

with a uncluttered mind

 

I am very good at going

unnoticed

in a crowded room

as long as I am a lady

with eyes on the patterns of the flooring

a girl braced

against whispering souls

with downcast demeanor

but sometimes I forget to be invisible

and my damaged soul

peeks through a flutter of black eyelashes

killing everything with these accursed

these loved

jade things

 

When I was two

Pan plucked my blue eyes from their sockets

and placed them in a field of violets

where the butterflies hovered for a taste of tears

and from his pocket he took a box

of velvet linings

encasing Pandora's eyes

 

I am invisible

until I open my eyes . . . .

Some muse you have, to be given such eyes be they violet or Jasmine or the green of Jade, men will no doubt die in those eyes, drowning in them to a womans delight

Such a vivid imagination you have, and unique to the ninth degree, you continue to amaze with your skill......never stop, not even when I'm gone :O)

[Kerry O'Connor]

What an internal monologue! Exquisite and highly original concept. You have your own angle on the world, Selene, and how our psyches and souls operate within it... Definitely Pandora-eyed.

[Ed Hart]

there is no room you could enter, that i wouldn't notice

[Peter Joseph Swanson]

I'm in awe

[LilyT]

Everything you write holds an epiphany. You break it apart and put it back together again. A living, breathing miracle.

your mythos is showing ~ your soulstreams flow in crystal clarity

[Bard Constantine]

Completely understand that feeling. Although I have trouble accepting you going unnoticed in a crowded room, lady or not ;) Still, lovely, lovely, lovely words as usual. When my mind needs feeding, I come to steal a morsel from your table...

Sometimes they have to be released and wont let you work on anything else until you get it out. A phenominal piece.
