The circle

sorenbarrett

 

Ouroboros of love and hate doesn't know what it ate
Fangs of venom at one end the other a siren tail does bend
A twisted circle becomes an eight writhing to consummate
Reclined infinity the masculine devouring femininity

                                  WOW and WOW. Let me not embarras myself by repeating the same word. A last wow perhaps for "Reclined infinity the masculine devouring femininity"

                                  • sorenbarrett

                                    Thanks you are too kind my friend. Your words are most appreciated

                                    Profound symbolism and visual imagery here Soren, with the masculine devouring the feminine lines being particularly powerful: thanks for the explanation of Ouruborous. The depth of the symbolism evoked goes right into the heart of the mystery of life itself. So beautifully done. Thankyou ! Elizabeth
