VersesA Poem by Robinorigins
She spun around the moon as the sun hid from an empty sky and coaxed tears from the darkness to cool a desolate earth
from under the surface she touched the mirror of the sea and from this rippled pool rose a porcelain skinned nymph her eyes glint iridescent green as she curled from the turquiose foam to take her first breath upon obsidian sands and crawled to the fairie ferns raw and bleeding to sleep beneath the boughs of a talking tree its weeping roots gasping into a severed brook where she curled into its embrace and drifted into dream
the tree peeled back its rings golden sap to ink upon a willow rune papyrus fed to the oracle moth where she gathered silk for wings to fly to pyramids of ice carrying apricot roses and white tea to lay before a sacrophagus of wishes
and she awoke woman stood upright she ate the fruit from trembling vines and spit the onyx seeds of beginnings into the jungle mist where the wind swept them upward to a nest feathered in hope and compassion away from the reach of the predator armored in bone and trophies of skin heavy palms slapping the war drums of hell a mad dance around the sacrificial fire
domination
past the amber glow to a valley of light through marble corridors and incense where mynah birds chanted in sacred verse and carved jade statues cast their shadows upon a temple of ivory and bamboo
and there ... sixty four golden disks climbed to god and time became a moment and a moment became a lotus
she walked to the edge and dove back into her sea her splash of stardrops spread across the night she arched her back and exhaled ... the earth became a bubble and the sun rose and set
and she smiled and spun around the moon
