Echoes of a Chrysalis
She makes her way out of the cocoon Spreading wings so bright, they shine like the moon Unaware of her impending doom Not knowing that she too will pass soon She flutters around like a fickle-minded child In search of flowers with nectar sweet and mild Unaware of her impending doom Not knowing that she too will pass soon She sets her gaze...

SATURN GOD OF TIME
Saturn ! You magnetised with enchanting icy rings promised white gold endless skates on Chrysalis circled cates said we would go round like fairy rings said you had so much Love to give I would never go wanting nor be mere interstellar dove to shove said we were a pair to helium share winds to dare ! One ring lemon yellow smiles metallic...

Humanity, the leaning yawl of infinite holes God the tranquil sea for a millennium or so Swells are growing bold as sky swirls gray humanity, taking on barrels of water and salt ivory gulls are shrieking at the crimson spray. Biters and crawlers are awaiting the flesh the universe is a distant shell of pure cold a craft lies emptied on an...

Jigsaw girl was a supreme pleaser her pieces imperfectly placed by "the others". Always the first to acknowledge the last to be noticed. Nobody cared enough to really get to know her. One "other" paid her frailties some attention loneliness always jumps at the first glance to escape from its granite chrysalis... but being stretched like silly putty never really lasts. She...

Chrysalis
Able to take change in smaller increments … the total overwhelms The pieces digested in tiny fragments absconding from the realm — Breaking it down — taming the maelstrom hail turns into rain The whole reemerging inside my becoming transforming me again (Dreamsleep: March, 2024) ...

In chambers still, where seconds sigh, A transformation waits to fly. The caterpillar, bound and curled, Dreams of wings unfurl. No frantic pace, no striving hand, Just patient trust in shifting sand. The silence holds, a fertile ground, Where dormant strengths are slowly found. From threads of fear, a cocoon spun, A haven where fears are outrun. Dissolving doubts, like silken strands, New purpose ignites within...

As I walked under a Willow tree to get relief from the heat. I saw a beautiful caterpillar crawling on a leaf as it eats. Suddenly it dropped from the leaf with only a thread to hang there. It spun its silk as it struggled to surround itself in a cocoon so fair. Intrigued, I visit the tree...

My name is Chris, Her name is Alice, We’re cocooned in A plantastic palace, While balanced on The woodlands eaves, We banquet on What others leaves. We’re pillers of Socie-eat-he We pay our debts And dine for free, But our sights are set Up in the sky, For we’ve been promised One day we’ll fly!...

Unborn Chrysalis
To be unrestrained and happy, the only reverie I contemplated about. For those who would never come by, are the only prized memories now. Every time fate crushed me, I held on and bled. Every time I tried to listen, leaden silence deafened me. Every time I longed for rainbows, a deluge of tears filled my soul. Barricade of orphanage culled me. Empty stomach reigned my...

Virgin
I emerged from the chrysalis of childhood and adolescence birthed once again into this world a woman beaten, battered, and sore cold and confused Nothing was at all what I’d been led to believe that I’d been promised by people in the past who would say with confidence with wits like mine I’d go far Colors faded from the resplendent hues...
