Poem

Metaphors

I memorize your metaphors
Upon a silken cloud
White with chase ambitions strong
Woven wild within

The panic plays while waiting true
A racing heart of royal blue
Songs of simple silence stare
Beyond a rising moon

Butterflies from distant eyes
Forever begging home
Never ending, not pretending
Bend slowly in the flow

Midnight spell of purple chasm
Daylight under siege
Waking to a new tomorrow 
Left only with thy seed

Ink Empress Date: 6/2/2026 4:41:00 AM Dear Francis, I really love the cadence and rhythm of your beautiful rhymes and the flow of your word weaving here. I especially felt “ Butterflies from distant eyes Forever begging home Never ending, not pretending” that hits deep for me. You have always been a very talented poet. I wanted to place this higher but as the prompt was “ memorized” in past tense, I couldnt. However i enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing this. And for supporting my contest, congratulations. Sending you light always
