Eve Awake, Poetry and Digital Art
Eve Awake
.jpg)
a painted canvas
promised love and eternity
promises went unmet
a brush was lost to a fickle grip
the canvas tore apart when avowals unravelled
fanciful strokes dissolved upon venomous, gossamer thread
in forked tongues of a thousand he spat
unaware of the legions that lay within his own coils
the python squeezed her awake
yet it was Eve who shed her skin
better reborn, naked, free of skein or stroke
than to lay penned forever among a serpent's weave

This is my favorite poem of yours thus far. It's beautiful and it hurts. The imagery is powerful.
Thank you, intspekt. It was a tough time for my psyche:)
I can imagine so. I don't have to imagine. I know. All those experiences make for some great writing, though. That's life's reward for all we go through. You live, you learn - then you write about it. You make it look easy lol. It's how you word it that's so striking. Surely a talent, but more so a skill, and it shows.
Wow ... I feel very appreciated. Thank you, Intespekt:)
Good. ;) And you're welcome.
Excellent wordings. Very visual .....
(I had to look up "avowals" ... Great word)

A journey of wakening and self-empowerment
You got it, Denise:)
😌
Venturing out alone can be scary at times, but as you say, better that than staying in something that destroys your spirit.
Well said. Thank you, Westley:)
