Unintended Innuendo
Listen to poem:

Line of inquiry:
“as we passed her she did wilt
which caused in us sense of guilt
since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause
though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile
since our aura as she viewed
scent of love did not exude”
*****************
In an oasis of ambrosian goals, we glide,
Petals softly share secrets rarely sighed.
Below their beam, our beings bloom,
Saga of a steadfast, empyrean soul looms.
All steps reverberated across the night,
Beacons in shadowy areas, rockets ignite.
Imagination arises with every breath,
Chase away the arcane doubts of death.
Our treks are aureate by strokes unseen,
Metaphors cavort on meadows of green.
Across every heartbeat, hopes ascend,
The forever auric vistas, a timeless bend.
A waning storm in her canorous gaze,
A dreary tangle veiled my soul—it was a maze.
The beat of our panacea was nuanced and odd,
My hiatus was as short as a mild dew on sod.
As a result of my intent, her inner grin faded,
A dulcet waltz, as halcyon empathy and jaded.
I stood there, my chin furrowed with worry,
Unsure what to permit— an unstated fury.
I saw my reflection in her quiddity pond,
Akin to waves that extend, but stay beyond.
This twisted sphere lacked an odor of love,
But knowing it was missing pulled insight above
I learned beneath the twilight's gentle sweep,
How deep emotions run when shadows seep.
