Journey Journal Page CODE MY ODE By Leon Enriquez I pen my writes With mystic ink As words I cite Seed what I think I craft my lines With simple rhymes As I feed fine Crisp rustic chimes ~~~~~~~~~ The words ooze fast In sensuous feel Now first to last In cast that spills Prize thoughts that float Across my mind As if to bloat Deep profound finds ~~~~~~~~~ The way of ease In glimpse of lot Moves joy and lease In verse I slot An ode of verse With profound play As I observe The Milky Way ~~~~~~~~~ Clouds drift and dot Upon dream stay Where fate grooms lot On this my way In steep deep trip Ink stains cursive Move fingers’ grip Wit verse that live ~~~~~~~~~ The writer’s craft Starts with a thought In tensile draft As rhymes allot I rise and shine With happy grudge To stay what’s mine With words that nudge ~~~~~~~~~ Words have a way To state my case Etch truth that stays Upon rhyme base Forge hue and tint That colours shade Word art blooms mint As rhymes now trade ~~~~~~~~~ The winding road Where life goes by Bears fate that loads My weary sighs Cheer and gloom set My lovely fest Where gambling bets Attune with quest ~~~~~~~~~ Words juggle well With poesy here In a strange tell To cluster near Words in a gush Stream on full scale As muse must rush Fine course of gale ~~~~~~~~~ So here’s my ode As rhymes now show Risk sanguine code As mode thus grows Music grooms lines In show-and-tell Where words incline True yarn that dwells ~~~~~~~~~ In gall or brine Feel the outburst Rhymes attend lines In soul’s own thirst Words on a page Convey and hint Upon the stage Of feel that mints ~~~~~~~~~ Feel sad or mad Upon these shores Feel good or bad Or odd once more Words paint a sketch Of feel and think As if to match Strange fate that links ~~~~~~~~~ Here for a while My moments cull A certain style In touch not dull Ode in pure mode Now captures time To craft deep code In poignant chimes ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 07 January 2024 Singapore
