Echoes in Silk

Written: July 17, 2025, for contest by Joseph May ******************** Silk voice ties the tunes of the throng As you play the chill, snake-hands song Void doesn't just loom—he swoons and croons Of the throng, silk voice ties the tunes My sound won't cross—cling to your room He swoons and croons—void doesn't just loom Won't quench the charm and delight dross Cling to your room—my sound won't cross I'll break the chain with skillful smarm And delight dross won't quench the charm Haunts the twilight with spry disdain With skillful smarm, I'll break the chain Even my heart can't sate your height With spry disdain, haunts the twilight When the coming spite pours a chart Can't sate your height, even my heart

Greetings my friend. Your poem expresses a deep seeded frustration and sadness that "even your heart," love, can't change the disingenuous "silk voice." This is such a difficult form but you have made it look like child's play. Best wishes for the contest. Blessings dear Lasaad.

SP, very difficult indeed to deal with a powerful force we might not be able to overcome. I can think of some these days. Take care!!!
