Notes About The Poem

Written August 5 2026 for Ink Empresses Contest The Logic of Longing

Seduce the Stars

The clouds spill a thousand secrets
Souls so bright fly in sky like egret
Day or night a delight to see this
Poets pen a friend not to remiss

Seduce the stars without a script
With winged words lavender lips
Soulful eyes making hearts skip
Mind so wise like well, deep we dip

Into peach pleasure pool of the mind
Where love is jewel and words are wine
Touch is a tool we silver seek and find
Leaving legacy so maroon meek and kind

Cloudy secrets the clouds spill today
Love is needed to eliminate all hate

This is an exquisite work of art that invites contemplation. The transition from scattered ideas to coherent ones is a genuine creative occurrence that is so inspiring. Where love is jewel and words are wine Touch is a tool we silver seek and find
