Belles-Lettres

A poem rises 
From silent words:
Inkwell blue

Words melt 
Out of the quietness;
Drawing the indigo out
In the lifting of quill
The color of words
Warm
My home becomes a
Belles-lettres morning-
And a limitless sky

Raw, the virgin stain on my fingers
The curve of the cursive
In the fire of your eyes
The whisper of words
In the soul's keeping.

  1. Oh, how exquisite are your words.
    “My home becomes a
    Belles-lettres morning-
    And a limitless sky”
    “Raw, the virgin stain on my fingers
    The curve of the cursive
    In the fire of your eyes”
    You enchant, you caress, you shine.
    Gorgeous poem.
    xoxo

    1. I wax and wane when I write
      My mind becomes quill
      Has its own free will
      I dream sacred , my body leaves let’s my soul be
      In a dream where I am set free

      Of course I use a writing quill 🪶, it’s a WordPress thingy eh 😉❤️

      4. Thank you, Ballerina Lee. I can see you are quite nimble on your feet or rather toes. Dance away into my page and set the lines twirling and twinkle toeing .. 💃🏽

      5. Lovely. 🩰 My style is more jazzy and contemporary with a pop of hip hop, 😄 Although, I do love to twirl and twinkle on my toes, hopefully never tinkling while I do so. 😂
