Burnings Of A Virgin

It's funny because even soil can smell like shit sometimes. But hey, it helps the roses grow my friend.

Eloquently put. An intriguing title. Don't let the Druids know. I hear they're over that now... 😂

Appreciate the eye to the Nature of things Missy!!!

You wrapped your voice with a haute couture . Brilliant imagery. I watched God die. A trilogy left to hang all alone.

Thank You Always for Your support Tim!!!

extremely interesting work here my friend. i love this bit in particular :
I watched God die
fall into the sea
by misinterpretation

Great to see You Vandel!!! Another moment in time eh?

the lure of false gods;
we thought we were over it
when we walked away from the golden calf...

Somewhere there's still a teat being sucked on  :) Appreciate You Greatly John!!!

It seems the very soil itself is defiled...left with a permanent, distorted , "sweet" stench of death, wherever cruel acts against humanity are committed --especially those carried out in the name of false gods and prophets...( and, tragically, this part of history continues to be repeated.....as the enticement of these charlatans continues......... )  
 
Your third stanza is uniquely creative in it's (almost) subtle, symbolic representation of the white supremacists' very egos seemingly tainted (poisoned) by  oleander tea. ( all those who chose to "sip" (follow) would share similar "toxic empowerment".  
 
My friend....this piece is definitely thought-provoking...with many levels of intertwining, interconnecting interpretations.... meanings blended symbolically and metaphorically.  
 
Imaginative....Intriguing Ink!  

What an astute breakdown DE :))) Appreciate You taking the time to ponder the detail!!!

this is such an impressive write, dark and unnerving, certainly fired up my grey matter this evening :-)

Great to see Ya David!!! Appreciate You coming by and picking the brain!!!

Some of the most egregious "crimes against humanity" are committed with religious pretexts.  I think of the Inquisition when I read this but it could apply to other points in history, and perhaps the present.  Fine work, souladareatease. Much to think about here.

Always an honour to see You Crow- thank You for the visit and kind words.....evil my friend, it wears many masks ...mainly eliteism ....selective censorship ...sling mud is okay if it's from "the right side" .....anyways good Sir-Appreciate the visit!!!

I love this poem, soul.
You found words so powerful
that they might break up ignorance
and even revive a slayed God.
Hopes die last ...

Very glad to see You Miss Chi!!! Ignorance breeds and those that speak it believe it true....be thankful for the normal sized ego!!! Thankful for You!!!

powerful is your mighty pen it burns & cuts like the great fiery sword that it is..

may your passion always burn so bright so we may see the way..

love Brena

Kind You are Crim, Thank You for looking in!!!

Gabe, my friend. You drew me in with the title and kept me there with a completely different story than I was expecting. You know me, "Burnings of a Virgin" would have been totally different if I'd written it. Lol!

My Brother, I know You could have turned this Title into a Masterpiece of Sin lol This was a tad Darker than I like to go...Ignorance and Ego will always be the biggest flaws among the lowest of Humankind!!! Appreciate You Always!!!

Wow Soul.......this is dynamic........so many thoughts going thru my mind I have no words to describe my feelngs........tipping my pen to you in respect for an awesome ink......purple luv & hugs xo :)

Nice to see You here Flower-Honoured!!! Glad You felt it-Means much in todays world!!!

Powerful work , Gabriel !  Such anger carried in heart by beautiful words like a Trojan horse infiltrating enemy lines . Awesome!

Always Great to see You pop in Tony-Thank You Good Sir!!!

You have succeeded yet again in taking an event I have read about before and giving it new meaning with descriptors that are uniquely your own.

Its evil lurks in everyday people...Thank You Ted-You Are Cherished My Friend!!!
