SPHINX STONE
SPHINX STONE I am Sphinx Stone Sun stationed statue silent sculptured synoptic not marble or granite nor black tourmaline or crystal sapphire quartz vortex for Void actualising sacred amber ambles Timelines cutting cross my magnetic magenta miracle to dissipate in dry desert winds my gaze unmoved as quizzing quantum queens swirl around a Blue Planet ascending Sphinx Stone gathering goddess’ goodness whilst slippery Sophi-el sprinkle...

Premium Member Riddle of the Sphinx
Face of femme fatale, she soars across the sky, lionhearted warrior, asking all who catch her eye, ‘Tell me the creature, with only one voice, on all fours from morning, two feet by noon and three at night.’ Those that failed to answer, served up as supper, unable to see the monster, they recognise as man. Oedipus, saved from first fate, finds another riddle, still stands in...

Sphinx
Sphinx this ugly, amorphous monster is stalking me again loathsome, foul blackened heart half-eaten by vicious, resentful loathing it feeds on me, tears me, rips into my viscera, fanged words perverse and savage scalding my insides, scouring me – not clean, but raw and used, the filthy residue left by its path clinging to my insides, making me cough, choke trying to vomit out this clot I am haunted...

Premium Member Ageless Sphinx
Sphinx is ageless, She’s stood the test of time; But, not without scars. Her visage bears the worst scars; Unkind to her is time; It pays no attention to age. Though there is power in time; It can’t fully heal her scars. Still, Sphinx can be proud to not look her real age. Time may heal but, ages of scars, takes quite awhile. ...

The Sphinx
Her feline grace reclined, triumph ruled in Her eyes - Many sought the blue flamed tryst in shaded groves they court with lies. These men fell power drunk tripping on love’s wine; its tang turned acrid as they lapped the poisoned vine. The once green forest cinder, no water for the lake was dry, The valley’s burnt to...
