I Dream Poetry

Stay steady and silently still, 
Let me adore what your eyes do to my shivering quill, 
I am led astray between my walls and your words, 
Blinded by a cloud of these butterfly birds, 
The weight of my vocabulary seem to have lost it’s gravity, 
Relearning how to talk as I dream poetry, 
Shall I be an ornament, anonymous to your broken heart? 
As mine shifts in it’s grave hiding the pulverized parts, 
I can glaze my skin in all the sonnets and balladry, 
Let the sweetness of your tears drench me in melodious melancholy, 
I do not deny the searing sea you long to purge, 
Nor do I belong to the grief you submerge,
I am simply a fire set by your golden rays, 
And we are but mere fools trying to outrun our own mazes.

Dear Lioness, my heart’s imagination is enthralled by your dramatic imagery and dynamic metaphor. Rich emotion flows from your “shivering quill” with eloquent finesse. Sprinklings of alliteration shine in your evocative verse. Welcome to poetry soup. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
