Woman

This tainted porcelain flesh

Shifting, Shaping, Sculpting

Woman forming Woman

Your spirit a dark wind

Coiling, Stretching, Reaching

Your heart a wild stalking beast

Timid, Powerful, Playful

Your body clay soft

Raw, Pink, Alabaster

Your mind a living ocean

Dancing, Magical, Emerald

Depths of Imagination

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
