For you Frida

A tribute to Frida Kahlo.

‍

Frida

The soul of the artist

The soul of the woman

The soul of life

‍

I have no role model

But for you

Yes

I create one for myself

The strongest

The truest.

‍

Your gaze fascinates me

A fierce softness that takes over

To admire you, to love you

even more.

‍

I align myself with your power

Created to elevate evil

The shadow trauma of the misunderstood

A banquet for one.

‍

Devastating eyes

that roam the in-between

here and now

or perhaps

Before.

But before what?

Death?

Pain?

Birth?

Union?

‍

In my vision of Earth

You are a miracle gift

An androgynous goddess image

that transcends time.

‍

I count your flowers

When your hands hold

the All of your world.

Polychrome drawing to

Banish the betrayal effect

Stinging pain

that makes the sensitive soul bleed.

‍

Sometimes

When I am in pain

I think of you

of your eyebrows

that speak of battle.

‍

I style your hair

With butterfly pins

that transform the material.

You are standing

You are dancing.

‍

I carry you within me

Dress sample fist lesson lace

You enchant the dreaming mind

No compromises

To live

on yellow gold

of your celestial circles.
