Prism

Each Friday recedes in burgundy
Bathed ardently in Luna’s kiss
         

                     But, Sunday will dawn cerulean
                     With dulcet tones of lovers’ bliss


Bearing flavors wantonly consumed
I greet each hue voraciously


                    I taste the spectrum more than I see
                    My senses piqued peculiarly


As kaleidoscopic concertos
Obscure my sight in grand array


                   Each blending shade completes the phrasing;
                   Brilliantly, prism love songs play






*For Brian Strand's "Intervals" contest.

Note: The concept for this piece was inspired by those who experience a phenomenon called 
Synesthesia.

I gotta say you're very talented yourself, if this little gem is any indication. Tough phenomenon to describe; a synthesthete yourself, perhaps? If so it must be an asset to poetic imagery. Thanks for the insight in any case, and thanks for the comment. "Ur"'s one of my very oldest, and no one's ever had anything to say about it before. Best Regards, Bill Masonis

Wow, Awesome Crystalline. A flowing hyper-synchronistic rhythm from beginning to the very end. Like water molecules, flowing in a brook, over pebbles. Beautiful writing, Sincerely, Love, Moses Thanks for comments on my verses
