Notes About The Poem

For Kerry Bernatchez's Contest "Rythm And Rubble", Dated July 24, 2026.

The New Beginning


The scarlet art of the sapphire sky of my halcyon heart 
sparkled with sequined glow of the lone moon leaning low.
I tried tempted to touch your topaz sheen tinted unseen,
but you didn’t stay, slowly sauntered away out of my view 
from my silky sky I shaped for you with pure joy for sure. 

From the dark domain of dismantled dainty rainbow arc 
strong storm surged with snapped shards of slashing scorn,
shattered my sublime sky while stowing in dispersed debris pile.
I couldn’t foresee how to dredge the drowned dreams free
from deep despair before destined day to depart came my way. 

I shoved the splinters of my shattered soul on the sly, 
turned them into a single white rose, residing in my heart close. 
When on the run you returned to my garden under sensual sun 
its fragrance fine floated with the pure passion of mine divine.
When in your sweet smile the curl of its pristine petals I saw un-furl
I knew the onset spark of the new beginning it’d memorably mark.
