Love Line Cascade
Written: March 29, 2025, for contest, Sponsored by Brian Strand
*************
she's a dazzling beauty mark,
upon my love line
thoughts that cascade
like vibrant waves on a dreamy river
my quirky paper clip connection—
a mirror reflecting my lunar madness
the sparkle of a diamond
I skillfully polish
my steadfast comforter
from day to night
where delight mingles with
sappy tears, speaking of longing
leaving me wordless and breathless
the susurration of the sea
carries away my pain
an eremitic journey unfolds
whispers woven on a gossamer breeze
I cannot cry out
even as the sun bathes the world in light
haunted by lurking shadows
I strive to untangle
the weight of my ancestry
yet within me, silent screams stir
visions of escape dance on the horizon
yearning for liberation from this burden
hand-woven gossamer dreams—
and you
a veil of verses, coy words—
and you
a lace of tunes, quivering lips—
and you
an amethyst voice, love’s melody—
and you!
that’s who I am in the mirror of love—
you!
stolen blossoms linger
on each breath,
sighing promises
with every kiss—
a yearning void
aching to be filled,
touch-written love,
shrouded in mist
each page adorned
with velvet kisses
to believe is to surrender
a silent farewell as
the final tabs close
a soft kiss leaves
a lingering ghost upon your skin
