You are the ink that runs in my quill Becoming the colors that my dreams spill. You are the letter that shapes my word Spanning the page like wings of a bird. You are the thought that fills up my sense You are the longing that is so immense. You are the breath that escapes in a sigh You are the memory in my mind's eye. You are the peace that whispers in my heart The oxygen that gives my heart a start . You are the tear that I hold in my eye You are the yearning I cannot deny. You are the rhyme in my April sky The twinkle in the stars that pass me by. You are the light in the black of my eyes You are the answer to all of my why's. You are the arms that embrace me tight Together in a love so infinite.
Jeweled Gossamer wings Waltz ambrosial trails Pivoting a lustrous zephyr Flower smitten, nectar laden, honeyed Flamenco ballerinas swirl Little handmaids of wind Winging, gliding Lucent. Petite Fairies flutter Tiara of colors Sipping flavors on orchard's breath Dipping silken gauze into leaves and blooms Sparkling wisps robed in finest hues Riding a symphony Of a soulful Ballet.
I sat and watched a slow sunset Darkness blinked as fading light danced Wind drooled like a clarionet Amethyst tones of gloam nuanced Silken gloom turquoise stars caressed In golden roam sweet dreams enchanced Lunar rhythms poured euphoric As amber stardust flamed auric.
Reading this post by yaskhan was the first time I had come across diminished hexaverse, so, in the long tradition of poets responding to each others’ work, I thought I’d give it a go.
