Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Metronomic Heirloom

Written: April 08, 2024

                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morphing into an appealing landscape,
gathered around a table embrace. 
In the connection of family mindscape.
We find sanctuary in this precious place. 

It engulfs you and completes its task,
a ghostly husk that is waxy and pale.
Dreams that last, a disturbing mask.
A table decorated with a phantom tale

Heirloom, the pink hearts flap, 
In rhythm, they dance a poetic trap.
A heart, still beating, with metronomic grace,
twitching forks, dancing in the space.
 
Melodies in the air, a symphony's prism. 
Their metallic bodies, alive with grace, 
In utopian harmony, they find their place.
Never shall your children hear such schism

In whispers gentle and voices clear,
a secret kept, forever near, 
Hidden in the depths, so dear.
Trusting even amid fear.
