Riddle Me A Lord~

~FyreHeart inspired~

dear crow

I know the skin under your feathers

like the tattoo skin across my belly

and where you have hidden my brindled wings

and I ask

no

I demand to know

did you have to burn them all

ashes in clashes

even in the dust

of dusk

they will be porous pores

of hollow souls

dragging Armageddon by the teeth

like a w***e

her shorn heels

through the body

of a trick

 

dear crow

kiss my muddled mind

your aspect

befuddles

when did you stop

being

god

 

"The day you left your wings behind at the gate, my Lady Lucifer."

 

yes

I have always been guilty

of faith

in these

here

epic people things

they sure have proved me wrong

 

"Ashes to ashes."

 

in god we trust

do we trust?

where is the ship

where is the salvation

 

"Dust to dust."

 

you were always

fond

of riddles

'beam us up, Gabriel'

 

"Funny girl."

 

smile

through the burn

(Damn WC isn't letting me post my review!)
You did a great job from this pic! Of course I expected no less from you :-P
You took a pic I love and formed a whole character. A little girl with a strong voice, stronger soul, she who dares do as she pleases regardless of supposed rules. Pushed down from her wings she stomps and demands now to know more.

You always manage to have casual phrases of abstract images burn so brightly. Voices so strong yet not screaming. Another great one.

You have woven words with mastery.... loved, "dragging Armageddon by the teeth//like a w***e//her shorn heels//through the body//of a trick" Great job with this....you're words put the story to the picture with excellence.

Pivoting a balance between perspective and expression, your perfectly placed wording draws forth a becoming, your poetry is electric, glorious, I can only breathe in awe, thank you for being the mind painter you are. Reading your work helps my own perspective, thanks for the knowledge.

When did you stop being God, The day you left your wings at the gate. Is it our faith that gives God life or is it God that gave us life is what comes to mind while reading your poetic versus. When we put our faith in earthly things are we stripping God of power in some way. I know I do not wish to talk to this crow while standing so close to the fire. I am with the girl where is the ship, Gabriel beam me up, scottie someone. LOL Too cute and what a dialogue to be enjoyed on a Saturday afternoon.

Your mind is a rich fountain for us thirsty souls. I used to wonder what it's like inside your head, and then I realized that you offer all those polished and exotic pieces of puzzle, you, and puzzle of us, with every single poem you give the world and its people. You are a gift, my friend.
