Hearing her eloquently spoken prose, I found the compilation of Alice Parris to be enlightening, revealing and seductive. From the psychedelic 60s, Alice brings forth a renewed vision of female passion and strength to modern-day times. A superb, audible reading that is befitting to poetry cafes from eras and eras ago - Soulgasm would be an enhancement to any art gala encompassing erotica, emotion or innerpeace.
Soulgasm, by Alice Parris is empowerment of woman - an evolution of sexuality - a story of love, life, and ascension of feminine higher consciousness, perception and acquiescence.
The following is a compilation of selected, compelling verses from Soulgasm:
Track One - Eclipse of the Soul is about the many shades of life, passion and embracement thereof:
'...soft and warm is love's self-drawn blood bath....'
'we become transformed in love's crucible...'
Track Two - Soul Sojourn describes the strong, middle-aged woman:
'...hiding earth's drabbed olive dress...'
'...what place have they amongst orchid-centered pieces?'
'...Please love me thru closed door...'
'my days in a metabolife haze...and my nights in a soma-coma...'
'...I cry out to become like the phoenix risen from the ashes of my half-century life...'
'...purpose pours in living waters and the heart of dust comes forth alive...'
'...draw up into essence in spirit well...'
'...in my desert places, the lord touches me...not because he loves desert places, because he fills empty pots...'
'....I have emerged like Lazareth....poetry has been created from the dust of my soul....'
'...to love or not to love...with the scale of love weighed in eternity...'
Track Three - Soulmate Chronicles - about love's loss:
'...my heart is a wounded dove...'
'...perhaps there was something that I missed because it was in plain view...'
'...my spirit is an eagle powerful and rare...'
'...your sad face reminded me of my own, two jagged souls reaching out to one another...'
'....my thoughts of you are like an opium cloud...'
'...no current could override the strength you gave these wings of mine....'
'...if I cannot have you, I will not die...'
'...eternal in your eyes....'
Track Four - Soulgasm is the acceptance of innerpeace and woman's divine erotica - fulfilled:
'...consumed imperial flame fire of love...'
'...penetrate my eyes, perceive my heart....'
'...my body becoming the host of the ghost of memory...'
'...a fortress fortified with wise walls of protection...'
Soulgasm is the bridge to soul awakening. A powerful elation of the innerspirit's journey, I would recommend Soulgasm to those seeking mental, spiritual, and sexual growth - men and women. To listen to Soulgasm is to listen to the heartpains and subconsciousness of women everywhere.
