Melting Snowball
The technique of steadily decreasing the number of letters or syllables per word or line, or the number of words per line. An unlimited number of lines are allowed. No meter or rhyme is required.
There's only one emotion that I feel is completely instinctual
spinoff peripheral feelings are thus subservient to that one
and born complex sensual beings, Man pursues its purity
allowing wishes and fantasies to approach fulfillment
fueled by trust, you experience how happiness feels
imbuing courage, it comforts a whimpering child
no other feeling could possibly take its place
it is the first commandment given by God
and as close to heaven as mortals dare
for futures rely on its foundations
to support impossible dreams
quenching an emotional
thirst, it refreshes you
as two morphs into
one bonded by
a feeling
we call
love
(Melting Snowball)
