PaperCut~

Her face

there is a story in her face

Eden plumps her berry lips

connects to the dimpled diamond at the tip of her chin

a fractal silver ring in a flared nostril

inhaling blossoms slipping through a portal

drawn in an origami cube

hovering somewhere between completion

and immortal rhymes

 

Her skin is white with capillary trails

drawn in blue smoke

a blur of shifting screens playing colors

in frames of white gauze

her lids

lined with sandalwood

hickory in her pores

uneven blush lights

like rope trails at the jaw line

 

A slide of peel skin

like a  ribbon of blood rind

curls back from the bone frame of a cheek

carefully

to the sound of music

opaque in its pitch

sharp in a note

like a razor

against the shutters of a camera

the smile lost somewhere between a depression

a click

 

Her face

there is a story in her face

cross stitched

with paper cuts

invisible to the spectrums

trimmed back in layers

to complement the folds

of the origami

in pink

between the fingers of the stone yakuza;

blue is the color of the mood

blood is the fable

and the cost

[Nancy S.]

Silk and silent etchings of beauty and depth in painful reality and surreal consciousness, with a symphony of words tuned to perfection as only your mind to hand can do. One of your very best, dear Poet~

Message to Heich~ Selene has several books published, and I'm sure she'll direct you towards to her website so you can view the titles for future reading. I've read them all, and I will tell you honestly that she is the very best poet you will ever read. I have my review of her first book on my website, here's the link in case you would like to read it: http://theartisansandbox.xitti.com/groups/11

indelible beaut of a face , take all the artists of the world and it would not compare to the countless goddesses seen in just one eye of Selene .

you turn everything into beautiful...outstanding is your norm...and i can but bow unto your elegance of word...a magician in the real...and I am transfixed as a rabbit in the headlights of an oncoming car but oh...what a glorious way to go...

[Robin]

Your rich imagery here paints a gorgeous picture. Bravo.

[Amber Betty Marie Child..]

well I'm talking it that this is a view of yourself... It is a positive and mind powering quality to have an abstract self view.

[Ima]

i loved the way how i could read and understand the feeling behind it... it is beautiful.. good job

[mysticgmekeepr]

there is always a story, etched in the lines of the face and the heart

[Angie Diane♥&hea..]

I agree this was a nice poem. It describes how one person can be depressed for a while, but I think that they will eventually feel so much better. I can relate cause I smile through my depression. This was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. :)
