Take me
to that place, dry red
only you and I know of
invisible, to this earthly world
That place where
foregone stars roam freely,
hosting thine perfumed aroma
Spill over my forlorn garment
of silence and solitude
and stain its garden soil
with your luscious kiss
imbued in floral hints, plum
and berry hues
Like paper, crumple my resist
Flick the light to my slow burn
and in my relent to ashes
scatter me, over the oceans
atop crafted ivory notes
and call me back
to the still waters
of my acquired self
in rediscovery, lost
in delectable sonics, lest I go
and not come back
Lest I slit my wrists, take me
to that place again
where you and I only
know the merlot intimacy
of man and song
Make me bold, lessen
the haunt of my secrets
and troubles, be my trumpet
be my trombone, be my cello,
piano, and magnolia
Heaven knows I live best
when I forget, in musicality
In escape!
Encapsulate me, ruby red
Take me again
to the moon and back
as in this abyss
of low jazz, and my darkened room
I wander, aimlessly, into the night
decadent, purple, and all yours
to seduce

a great work...seems to track an adventure across a land that exists on the other side of dreams...i wish i could express my appreciation for this poem in other ways than these, but i cannot find the right words. thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your appreciative comment, Sophin. Your words convey the message clearly, and are much appreciated.
Hey! This is a glorious display. Been missing you on MPS not gonna lie. I'll be real with you, you truly have a marvelous poetic capacity that's unqiue to you. The poem "Tree of Identity" was just one of the many that got me hooked to your wonders. In this particular one I really enjoy your shrewd wording, you honestly have a large vocab. I feel music could be an underlying theme, and love is at the surface of your words. Very well done!
Thank you, poetically gifted one. The comfort of admiration such as yours are really the crackling fire that ever warms our circle. An appreciation in which I share deeply, for the works of your pen as well. The well shall never run dry sir. I am around, and deeply humbled with each earnest letter you pen all the time. I hope all is well with you and yours. Accept my love from this side of the world. Peace, blessings and good tidings your way fellow writer. 🙏

I am well and safe vb. I hope the same for you. Thank you so very much for the kind visit. It is much appreciated 🙏.
Your ability to express yourself never ceases to amaze. In every poem you've published here, I tend to lose myself in the subtlety and almost profound way you have of describing even the simplest of things that immediately translates to beauty. I am a fan of your work.
Oh thank you so very much, Sharon. I am deeply humbled. Please accept my gratitude. 😇🙏
