she rambles along
a path of stars
her hair a halo of
static electricity
eyes the color of storm
clouds obscuring the moon

she doesn’t ponder the past
her denial is genuine
and her heart is true
yet she walks in her sleep
and her spirit is coiled into
itself by acquiescence

so her eyes struggle to see
her hair whips her face wildly
her heart thumps like planets
exploding and her spirit stretches
out ever so deliberately

whispering

avenge
~~~

The 3 Word Wednesday prompts are:
Avenge
Genuine
Ramble

  1. You have some eloquent phrasings and lines in this short piece. Has a lyrical ring and a lovely feeling to it.

  2. ooh. i liked this a lot. theres a high level of energy in it which i enjoyed. :)

  3. This was magical…the imagery was fantastic! Wow. Thank you for sharing!

  4. Yes, high-energy and lyrical. I really like how this built.

  5. This is a solid piece. One I could well come back to. One I enjoy not because it cleverly uses the 3WW prompts.

    Great imagery. It reminds me in feel and taste of W.B. Yeats. It has an otherworldly edge and both an intense lyrical passion and inner life.

  6. Wow, thank you SC! And thanks to all for your kind words. :)

  7. Just beautiful.
