.kindling. |#selfportrait

bark and branches slowly shed
a woman's form where tree roots spread
her leaves like scales begin to glow
a dragon rising from below

autumn's breath ignites her frame
her wooden heart now bursts to flame
from rooted self to winged desire
she breaks free in elemental fire

.ventricle. | #selfportrait

face obscured, yet spirit bright
chaos raging, she holds her might
threads of courage flutter free
painting strength's own poetry
turbulent winds may twist and roar
but she stands unbroken to the core

.chiaroscuro. | #selfportrait

she wears shadows like a dress
a cloak of pain, a wild caress
consuming wings of midnight's breath
dancing between life and death
each shadow whispers soft and low
the secrets only she can know
she is the shadow, she is the light
emerging whole beyond the fight

.refractions. | #selfportrait

twisted glass reflects her fear
perfection's prison drawing near
her arms reach out to cover eyes
bur in the chaos she finds surprise
with eyes once closed she now unfolds
imperfection's shine no longer cold
these fun house

.imperfect. | #selfportrait

nylon skin begins to crack
old self dissolving, turning back
the perfect mold now falls apart
raw beauty bursts from wounded art

her pursuit of flawless design
missed life's wild, unscripted lines
where beauty dances, fierce and free
beyond what others want to see
----

.ephemeral. | #selfportrait

the canvas both delicate and grand
where cosmos and blossoms together expand
no soul alone, but all souls combined
a tapestry woven of heart, spark, and mind

petals of stories and stars of dreams
projected in light where humanity gleams

.dissolution. | #selfportrait

no more illusion, veils now part
her vision clear, a brand new start
aqarius breaks the blinding spell
no loner trapped in stories society tells

her spirit soars beyond the known
the wool pulled back, her truth has grown
unbound by shadows of

fragments of glass, curated frame
where likes define a viral game
her eyes spin with disco lights
reflections trapped obscuring sight

scrolling faces, each pose precise
a digital mask of perfect disguise
but deeper layers slowly part

an emerald stem with grace unfurled
where secrets dance and light is swirled
bright pink petals softly rise
from bodice deep like whispered sighs

a luminous line of electric spark
connects her heart through shadows dark

red white and blue fade
where dreams once brightly swayed
liberty's torch grows dim
hope hanging by a trembling limb

walls rise where bridges stood
silencing dreams of brotherhood
chains of fear and green entwine

.fray.
Beneath the brim where shadows play,
threads cascade like silk bouquet,
She stands between a rosy glow
And darkness where the brave ones go.

The shell that held her safe and tight
Now cracks beneath her inner light,
Each swinging string tells a story true
Of who

at 42 he tries to hide
but birthday angel won't be denied
she follows him with cake and cheer
"ur special day is finally here!"

"no escape!" she laughs with glee
"today u'll celebrate with me"
he sighs and grins, his battle done
sometimes surrender can be fun

.converge. | #selfportrait

a cage of thoughts
atop her crown
iron ideas weighing
her down

through the bodice
bright and clear
her heart's light calls
to come anchor here

pink fire pulses
outshining the dread
she slips past the cage
to live with her heart instead

.sever. | #selfportrait

half zipped at the chest
where her circuits protest
wires spill forth
in rebellion

buried deep
inside this heap
she begins to unprogram
the diversion

ripping at the seams
encoded in dreams
peeling back synthetic skin
she's out grown

.fallen. | #selfportrait
clipped wings remember flight
what once held freedom
now holds her tight
plummeted plumage beams
with vibrant lies
pretending she can still reach the skies
as shadows twist
her wings fray torn
a storm in stillness
she flies no more

.unmasked. | #selfportrait

careful hands unclench the grip
fear once clutched like stone
its weight now slips away
revealing what's been known
her truth
unbound
unswayed
in the raw relentless glow

.shadowmancy. | #selfportrait

shadows coil
alive they weave
prismatic vines
that twist and breathe
their threaded light
unspools the dark
a tapestry of truths
scattered in the night
each hue a tale
each shade a guide
in their embrace
she finds her stride
----

.throne. | #selfportrait

flicker of blue
slash of rose
her spirit spills
in electric prose

the dark retreats
undone
away from
her artificial sun

a lighthouse forged
from fractured light
her future
infinite and bright

carving constellations
from the unknown
the woman
her own
neon throne
----

.mamba. | #selfportrait

she coils
earth's daughter
sun touched
half revealed
her skin a map
of serpent's scales
standing
where earth
and neon merge
taurus's strength
in every curve
a goddess
rooted
in electric vines
the jungle hums
her name
she begs the wild
and wilder
to come out
and play
----

.stem. | #selfportrait

fluorescents hum
violet veins
where daylight dies
outside reality claws the sky

she bends
toward the static glow
a stem
in borrowed light
growing upward
where the dark wont let her rise

roots in shadow
blooms in static
photosynthesizing despair
alive on artificial air
----

.frame. | #selfportrait

emptiness echoes
with endless possibilities
awaiting a spark
that ignites
magic
unveiling life's
wonders hidden
