Permutation

just a few random thoughts

 

 

In my solitude,

Will you weave between

Fissures of grey matter

Like a caterpillar

 

In her chrysalis,

And transform moments

Washed away from stinging silvery

Rain that never cleansed...

 

Memories of you...

 

Metamorphosis is gradual...

'Be patient, Darling!'

For my love travels as the speed

Of light although I might appear...

 

Dissimilar...

 

Will you recognize me in an

Altered form?

Ever wonder who's inside?

Sacred truths scroll passion...

 

Edge within the soul...

 

What if our destiny isn't predetermined,

But written ourselves everyday...

 

Every moment...

 

The question becomes...

What will be written next, for we come
Not with catechismal

Instruction...

 

We are but totems of the heart's

Truth

 

Follow me through the dark
Tunnel of initiation

Our private place

To be reborn into a new life...

 

Without ever gazing back.

First I would like to point out that you always have the most beautiful pictures that fit the words in your poems.

Second, yet again your words are sensual and allow the reader to flow with you until the last stroke of the pen. Great piece.


Live, Love and Learn

Ah! This one is really very different and I really loved the gentleness and poise which you have depicted here in your words..
Your thoughts are flowing here so effortlessly and in such a beautiful way!
Also, I loved the metaphor about this piece about the way we often reborn and undergo metamorphosis...
Such a brilliant and mature piece of writing it is...
I simply loved this one Apollonia :)
Great work!

It seems the classic trope of caterpillar to butterfly metamorphosis arises frequently.

What's different about your take on transformation is the attention to the need to CREATE it, to follow the streams emanating from one's own fire of will and intent -- love with muscle, in other words. I get rather tired of reading about Love's alleged butterfly delicacy and vulnerability to entrapment, some sentimentalization of victimization.

Thankfully, your poem stays closer to the power of Attention, active awareness of intentional embrace of processes of metamorphoses inherent in Life, but needing Conscious attunement to come to fruition.

Your sensibility re Love-Desire is synonymous with courage and free spirit, making for a grand adventure, instead of some sticky entrapment. Gorgeous image too.

Strong intelligent work.

Quite amazing. Fantastic.

When I called this up I cld just see the first four lines, to which my instant reaction was 'Yes!' Again, being in a very literal mood this morning, my reacion to 'Ever wondered who's inside?' was -- sadly -- 'no.' But the best part of the poem for me was 'What if our destiny isn't predetermined...is written by us every day?' Could speculate about that all day. And probably will! So this poem was a series of little triggers in the read, at least for me. And any poem that makes another think is definitely doing a great job. Well done.

Simply stunning and so beuatiful.

A wonderful change that is and that will be. Keep on writing. Love the pic as well. Oh, to be a butterfly, but alas I am but a poor ol' pig. :)

[Wildfleour]

I love this, especially because i have this strong attraction to butterflies and the concept of recreating one's self.

First of all, I like seeing a read request from you. been a minute. second of all, you come with another wonderful piece, once again. i felt as if i was going through a metamorphsis myself while reading this. lol. it flowed, i had to read it twice to get an even better feel, since your poems have depth and meaning, and are intelligent. I liked it even better the 2nd time i read it, and probably more the 3rd. great job 10/10.......
