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. 💜🌹🍷
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
Thank you so much dear sorrenbarret I'm thrilled you have enjoyed my Sunday scribbles 🌹 💜
and you have done Sylvia proud with this true masterpiece Teddy;
every line a gem!
Dearest Melvin, my friend, my mentor and the poet who brought me to Plath , thank you Sir. 💜 🌹
A fine, heartfelt tribute to a truly remarkable poet and novelist! A great write, my friend!
Thank you so much dearest Robert. 🌹
You are alive and always will be Teddy, keep moving forward into your wonderful life. Anyway I may not be very tasty if you devoured me. 🤣🤣🤣
Andy
All the luxury you consume? LoL you'd be first on my list 🤣
Tremendous work, sweet Teddy.
Thank you dearest Thomas. 🌹
