Ouroboros

Neville

Ouroboros

 

What is it with us

and how

much is it worth ..

And what

will it be the love

or the lust

that which, first

gives up the

proverbial ghost ..

And for

what purpose,

or reason ..

And pray where

upon this

oh’ so tainted,

sainted earth do

I begin

and you end,

my love of loves ..

I plan to eat

you regardless ..

Like Dali planned

once to

eat his love Gala

on toast ..

But not for some

obscure

symbolic reason ..

I just want

to be a perfect circle ..

    I l looked up that bit of 'French' - Ouro-wotsit.
    KP will eat her own tail. But it won't help me. She will still have her botox face left at the end! lol.

      beware, that might just be the very beginning ..

      • orchidee

        She might metamorphose into some grotesque being. Oh - she already has! I'm cruel. lol.

              I like it and I’m wondering if that perfect circle referred to a wrapped around tail? Or is it imagery of other??

              • Neville



                I am delighted you found it to your liking and taste .. the perfect circle refers wholly to Ouroboros & my hunger .. Neville

                  Sometimes I just try too hard.
                  Thanks

                    What a freaking interesting word. Seems nobody disputes its Greek attachment but it’s also prominent in Norse, Egyptian , alchemy , it’s linked to psychology and modern interpretative symbolism. Lots there and lots I left out. How cool is that!!

                    • Neville



                      Very .. & that's a hard act to swallow & harder to follow but the idea is intact and universal .. cheers bro

                        "Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
                        Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
                        Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
                        Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
                        Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
                        And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
                        Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!"

                          that tastes so familiar .. I couldn't possibly do an Oliver and ask for more .. Neville
