Whispered Musing

Listen to poem:

Written: November 14, 2023 _______________________________________________ We ventured into everlasting words Cast-off Calix of clear canvas Each concept basks in sunlight, Our souls are depicted in blood Our views overlap on each page Blooms in the orchard are sprouting. Our fingers flutter across the keys In this seductive word melody, We morph into the cynosure Forthwith faraway frigid fiefdom, But now, just via our whispered secrets Our spirits may finally breathe here. Words are written in ink on a nebulous canvas. Skillfully crafted tapestry of throe emotions Such a syllable is a solemn stroke, Stripes serve as strokes of sorrow Where canorous whispers are the norm, We design a vivacious home for hearts The quixotic drawing is finally full of life Our words earn such a glorious graphic A saffron sun caresses each letter With kindness and gentleness. In a world of amaranthine ambition We decry quiddity in syntax, A haven for the pellucid and broken An oasis amid a shattered sphere With every hushed revelation Repairs and revamps are what we do best, Weaving countless love tales. So let us sustain writing The panacea of hushed truths, Where our spirits entwine And our musings live in perpetuity. Inscribed on the nexus of history, We decry solace in this space, Discovering, deciphering, and divinity, Secrets that echoed soft susurrus. Conveyed by the winds of destiny Show us where hearts can connect Words have curing and stirring power, They can ignite the flames of craving Embrace the power of the pen, As we pen our muttered secrets.

dearest Sotto, I marvel at your creativity with this one. You've got a unique ability to create alliterative lines that also include such vivid, expressive imagery...How you've described poets (writers) is sublime. I liked so many lines but I especially like "embrace the power of the pen...muttered secrets." I also liked "So let us sustain writing The panacea of hushed truths, and "A saffron sun caresses each letter With kindness and gentleness." I must fav this to come back to. Fabulous!

I really am in awe of your wordplay here and the imagery as well as depth of emotions flowing throughout this. Theres so many words that i can resonate with and the way your lines flow is seamless. I love how you’ve written this free verse, suits you too, and i love those alliterations and “ Weaving countless love tales.” “ Embrace the power of the pen,“ made my soul stir… so beautiful and moving! As always an impeccable write from your philosophical pen that contemplates so much, fave for me

Blooms in the orchard plays off the cast-off calix. Love - Our souls are depicted in blood… Our views overlap on each page.

A haven for the pellucid and broken An oasis amid a shattered sphere With every hushed revelation Repairs and revamps are what we do best, Weaving countless love tales--splendid thoughts and vocabulary, my friend. Your muse rocks!

Exquisite poetry, my friend. I enjoy the enhanced vocabulary you used throughout. I had to look a couple of words up, but they always fit exactly, what you are communicating. A FAV for my list, and an excellent entry for the contest. Good luck! Have a great week! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

That was simply amazing. You have a real gift. Each line spoke to me- especially about the kindness and gentleness we must have, but only share with a few. Breathtaking the more I read... glad you write!
