Lazarus a Reincarnation

Teddy.15

 

As if the Lazarus in her

is now planted deep within me

although a burning desire of the opposite 

as I do not want to die

I do not want to leave this earth

untimely and tragically 

 

nor do I wish to leave shards of my being 

in a box of cremated onions

and no

I do not want to share my soul with the devil either

 

instead I stand on the sun and scream 

 

I'm alive 

 

I'm alive 

 

I'm here 

 

I am simply mixing it up for Sylvia 

her absence has left a hole in worlds middle

her layers of onion never seen in truth and shape

 

she generously spread her lines of her minds cries

on paper written in blue blood

whilst her angel patted her head

and brushed her hair

 

and I? 

 

perhaps reincarnating her? 

because she is within me

she is all the layers of my very soul 

she is within all women?  

in life and in death...

 

therefore, I too shall devour all men.

    The Sylvia in you is alive and kicking dear Teddy. Delivering sensationally in attitude. I’ve just bought a book of her work. You delivered a little punch here as well as some humour. I love the combination of both. Now where are those men for devouring? How about with a little chianti or maybe a vintage red lol. 💜🌹🍷

    • Teddy.15

      Which ever is your favourite, I'm quite an expert of the best Chianti has to offer. Thank you dearest Cassie, I've been doing some very small tweaks as I wrote this today. As for the men, I e home and eaten them all. 🤭 🌹 🤗

      Wonderful lines asserting the power that is within all of us and the layers we all are. Lovely

        and you have done Sylvia proud with this true masterpiece Teddy;

        every line a gem!
