Skeleton key
rejected
heart of stone, cold
birthed of bloody fire
fire’s frigid reflection
pocked complexion
ashen emotions
powdered cheeks
laid bare…
swallowed away
I tip my top
riding Orion’s space
in hand rejected metal
key to your heart
unturned, upturned
sailing
galaxied space
winged bird
all-seeing-eye
whisks me on
seeking
hot smoldering
star-fire love melting
key to my heart
offered unconditionally
For d’Verse Poets Pub today, we are writing Ekphrastic Poetry. We are to write a poem motivated by one of artist Catrin Welz-Stein’s images. (I decided to try what I will call a “Lucy style poem” with this one.) A little different from my usual casual write. Enjoy!!
You can find her work at: http://catrin-stein.imagekind.com/store/
