sunflower clouds
the Earth moved
I stood still
as time spun out of control
& a star trailed blood across the night sky
while orchids pirouetted in the garden
at the sight of you
your hard jaw
that makes me weak
the gravel in your voice
brings angels to their knees
calls forth the demoness in me
I hiss a lullaby for the damned
cut out a piece of your heart
wear it round my neck
keep it as a charm
of what could be
a ward against what shouldn't
the Earth moved
I stood still
the tide is high now
I'm awash in lust
the undertow has taken me
delivered to a new dimension
with a bruised moon
sunflower clouds
where the hard tick of your jaw
can't send chills down my spine
leave me reeling on the floor
I've picked myself up
shut the door on what isn't
& in came the sun
as orchids pirouetted in the garden
at the sight of the Goddess within

your hard jaw
that makes me weak
the gravel in your voice
brings angels to their knees
calls forth the demoness in me
I hiss a lullaby for the damned
cut out a piece of your heart
where it round my neck
WOWZERS!! *Raising hands in the air* Woot woot!! Those are some cutting edge stanzas right there, my friend!!

Captivating imagery; the way your words danced in every line. Last two stanzas were my fav.
Such a wonderful read Crim.

I believe you touched your lovely fingers to canvas and created a work of art with your words here, beautiful Brenda. The imagery was ethereal and surreal giving it a kiss of perfect mystery. Beautifully done, my lady ☺

Delighted to see how your garden grows Crim! This is magic, possibly written from a parallel dimension. That guy seems a bit on the rough side though. Take care!

St 5 L 4 - Change the 'where' to 'wear' - this is the correct spelling for this line.
My, the Goddess is doing the rounds this week isn't she. Good to see her popping up in other works recently. Maybe it's an epidemic. In the words of Willy Wonka "I hope it will last".
Thanks for the read.

The imagery in this is sharp and effective; I'm especially fond of the star trailing blood. You create a real sense of a mythological place here, and the violence of the narrative is pure fairy tale gold. The only cliche is the hard jaw of the hero, but that's forgivable since this is a fairy tale, and the heroes of those do tend to have strong jaws! One of your best poems.

This is such an excellent testimony unto the power of self within and beyond the tangible existence outside of it.
shut the door on what isn't
& in came the sun
as orchids pirouetted in the garden
at the sight of the Goddess within
What a fabulous ending, Brenda.
Well done.
