Tear As Lens

Bespeak the certain glossed recall, so rich and pure in trace
Though seep the parchment, heart fueled quill draws out in long embrace
Then flow oh song and swallowed stillness, deeply red the taste
For there remains the sweetest sound, around my breath enlaced
Then fill the vessels prism view, so swelled thee overflow
And linger lightly down the cheek of winter’s contour low
To pool impasse the eve and end, for never called to blow
Bespeak the certain glossed recall, as I have come to know

Ahhh . . . Loved this poem and the superb play on words that you gave it, and the rhyming sequence was outstanding.

Though my inner creative side aches to see this as a sonnet...best not to tamper with perfection.

Well done.

Exquisite, as always, Kathy.  I love how this rich, teardrop tapestry is cocooned within "Bespeak the certain glossed recall."
