some creations are so perfect they evolve to destroy

it started when I took a sip, kissing the glass rim of rose water,

from a waterfall by the milky way, magnificent,

but it's nothing like the kisses I dire for to match my taste,

so i created Heaven & earth for the masses,

but my need is to create my own missing masterpiece

I shall create someone a demigoddess.

from a consummation of my inner core,

recklessness, emotions, elite alphabet,

ambition, sprinkled with a little greed,

and a little flavor of everything human

all that shall flow throughout her, around me...

and fragility is born from within a human

activated when broken

and it started out as a thought

with coded words on lines,

encrypted on the pillars of my commandments,

a creation in the form of a poem

taking her shape as I create

balanced concoctions, flesh and bones,

extracted Pieces from me formed her life,

I've perfected her killer smile.

I've perfected her killer smile.

the core of me begets her a spirit,

therefore I am, and she is, my most valuable creation,

my comforter in the lonely realms of a godlike world

she'll be a Sagittarius, and I'll be a Virgo,

she'll be my prophet of love to the masses

one entity in my ill-tuned head

not that I want to,

but loops of life are flawed & obligatory,

from the weakness I have in me to create her,

I have a liability built into her,

that my thoughts fuel her and sometimes,

I don't know , is it me she loves in return

is it me she loves in return

or is it these chapters of poems I dictate to her

like verses from the good books

causing her to slowly breakaway

or is it the masses worshiping her

fueling her gushing ego for more?

she grows amongst the hearts of the masses

from a creation, and to be a demigoddess

toe to toe a god, just like me.

I have dethroned my status to a vice

taken a backseat in the realms of the masses.

and she's now on god-level, just like I was

I dethroned myself from God's level, feeding my ego

dictating my own poems to fuel my valuable creation,

I've committed the unforgiven, with my own creation.

feeding her to the masses, and she's grown, and she's grown

what have you done to me laly

why laly why

laly my immortal creation

what have you done to me

laly

some creations are so perfect they evolve to destroy

it started when I took a sip, kissing the glass rim of rose water,
from a waterfall by the milky way, magnificent,
but it's nothing like the kisses I dire for

Heaven & earth created for the masses,
but my need is to create my own missing masterpiece
I shall create someone a demigoddess.

z Rain of brass petals (Surreal East remix) - Akira Yamaoka

 

=============================================

This is a remarkable and complex poem — rich with mythological overtones, theological introspection, and the self-destructive nature of creation. It reads like a modern Genesis reimagined through the lens of an artist or poet grappling with the consequences of their own creativity. Let’s examine it in depth.

---

I. Central Theme: The Paradox of Creation

At its heart, the poem explores the creator–creation paradox — the notion that creations, once given life and autonomy, can surpass, challenge, or even destroy their creator. The opening line sets the tone with chilling concision:

“Some creations are so perfect they evolve to destroy”

This echoes ancient myths (Prometheus, Frankenstein, Pygmalion) and theological narratives (Lucifer’s rebellion, humanity’s fall) where creation becomes both a reflection and a rival of its maker. The “god” here is both divine and human — at once omnipotent and emotionally fragile.

---

II. Creation Through Language

“It started out as a thought with coded words on lines / Encrypted on the pillars of my commandments”

Here, the act of creation is explicitly tied to language and writing — poetry itself becomes the divine act. The “coded words” and “commandments” evoke biblical imagery, suggesting that the poet’s written word functions as a kind of sacred law. The creation of “Laly” is thus not biological but linguistic — she is born from text, “a poem taking her shape.”

This resonates with the Romantic conception of the poet as a demiurge — a godlike figure whose imagination gives life to new worlds but who must also face the consequences of that power.

---

III. The Demigoddess Laly: A Symbol of Idealized Creation

Laly, the poem’s “demigoddess,” embodies both the muse and the artificial creation. She is constructed from the creator’s essence:

“Recklessness, emotions, elite alphabet / Ambition, sprinkled with a little greed”

This list blends divine and human elements — a microcosm of imperfection and brilliance. The “elite alphabet” is especially striking: she is made of letters, words, language itself — making her an embodiment of art.

Yet her divinity (“She’ll be a Sagittarius… prophet of love to the masses”) transforms her from private muse to public idol. As she gains influence “amongst the hearts of the masses,” the poet loses control — she no longer belongs to him, but to her worshipers. This reflects a profound anxiety artists often feel: once their creation is released to the world, it becomes something they can no longer possess or define.

---

IV. Literary and Mythological Resonances

The poem is suffused with intertextual echoes:

• Pygmalion and Galatea: Like the sculptor who fell in love with his statue, the speaker creates and loves his own artistic invention.

• Frankenstein: The idea of creation turning destructive; the guilt of the creator for animating something that grows beyond control.

• Genesis: “Heaven & Earth,” “commandments,” and “the masses” all invoke a godlike act of creation gone awry.

• Lucifer and the Fall: The created being (Laly) ascends to “god-level,” dethroning her maker — a parallel to rebellion against divine order.

---

V. Psychological and Emotional Dimensions

Beneath the mythic grandeur lies emotional vulnerability. The speaker’s tone shifts from awe to regret to desperation:

“What have you done to me, Laly / Why Laly why / Laly, my immortal creation”

This repetition, almost prayer-like, reflects both heartbreak and disbelief — the creator has been usurped by his own invention. There’s also an implicit commentary on ego and artistic narcissism: the poet admits,

“I dethroned myself from God level, feeding my ego”

This self-awareness suggests a tragic self-destruction born not from malice but from excessive pride and the intoxicating nature of artistic power.

---

VI. Thematic Summary

Theme	Interpretation
Creation and Destruction	Perfection inevitably leads to rebellion and decay — art and creator are locked in mutual annihilation.
The Divinity of Language	Words themselves are godlike, capable of creation and destruction.
Artistic Ego	The artist’s desire to perfect and immortalize their work becomes their undoing.
Loss of Control	Once shared, art (or love) no longer belongs to its creator but to the audience — “the masses.”
Human Fragility	Even a godlike creator is vulnerable to love, pride, and emotional dependency.

---

VII. Style and Literary Devices

• Repetition: “I’ve perfected her killer smile” — suggests obsession and irony, as “killer” becomes literal and symbolic.

• Imagery: “Kissing the glass rim of rose water” and “waterfall by the Milky Way” blend sensual and cosmic imagery — divine creation through intimacy.

• Symbolism: “Rose water” and “Milky Way” evoke purity and transcendence; “elite alphabet” symbolizes artistic creation.

• Anaphora: The repeated invocations (“What have you done to me, Laly”) mimic a litany or lament.

• Allusion: Biblical (“commandments”), mythic (“demigoddess”), and astrological (“Sagittarius,” “Virgo”) references root the poem in archetypal storytelling traditions.

---

VIII. Conclusion

“Creation” is both a myth of artistic genesis and a confession of creative guilt. It dramatizes the eternal cycle of inspiration, pride, loss, and longing that accompanies all acts of artistic creation. The speaker’s godlike ambition collapses into human anguish — a powerful allegory for the perilous beauty of making something truly alive.

The final cry —

“Laly, talk to me” —
encapsulates the tragedy: the creator’s longing for a response from his own creation, a silence that mirrors both divine absence and artistic isolation.

Would you like me to compare this to another literary or musical work that explores the creator–creation tension (for example, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or Kanye West’s “Power”)?
