Consider the layers of our existence, our personal spaced dimensions
Being reminded of our lives lived through a revolving door of obscurity
Like little oddities we buy on impulse, use once and nevermore to be attention-ed
🐦🔥
Russian Nesting dolls are we, puzzles to be unraveled by definition
Each layer exposed, reflecting a liberation of secrets of our immaturity
Consider the layers of our existence, our personal spaced dimensions
🐦🔥
First layer peeled, our masks breached, cracked, we weep with pretentions
Eyes watering, warm teardrops falling across time into our maturity
Like little oddities we buy on impulse, use once and nevermore to be attention-ed
🐦🔥
Grasping eagerly, I peeled the second, then the third seeking sublime jubilation
It got no better at the fourth and fifth, mocking time into perpituity
Consider the layers of our existence, our personal spaced dimensions
🐦🔥
If anything, I felt pain and rage, needing a truer reinvention
At layers six and seven, came the epiphany seeking exclusivity
Like little oddities we buy on impulse, use once and nevermore to be attention-ed
🐦🔥
I was slowly setting my spirit free, liberation, elation, jubilation
Tears turned to laughter, sadness to joy, creativity and fluidity
Consider the layers of our existence, our personal spaced dimensions
Like little oddities we buy on impulse, use once and nevermore to be attention-ed. 🐦🔥.

I've always loved nesting dolls, though the way you have used it as a metaphor for discovering & freeing our true nature is also a significant/defining part of my spiritual autobiography. Unfortunately, when I removed the final layer, there was nothing there. (True story. Seriously.)
The layers in this. Wonderful.
Brilliant & inspirational!!! Love it, Novel!!!❤️❤️💕
Excellent surreal take on the challenge
Love the depth and surreal nature here. Very philosophical! How’d you come with this? Such a terrific poem/villanelle! It’s criminal this has not been liked as much yet! You must share it in the groups or I will! 😁
Wonderfully done! Loved the “revolving door of obscurity” line.
Gosh this was so SO profound! I'm always so amazed at the concepts that you come up with for your poems! I loved this a lot!
I'd like to pay less attention to some of my little oddities!
Awesome story
