You seduced
my blank p a g e s 
w i t h a purple 
              stare

Your s c o r e agile
—with bare lines, fragile—
and a smoky
flair

*

Paper trails
going a m i s s
during o u r morning 
                     walks

While we kept silent
O, u n s p o k e n mysteries—
fading n o c t u r n e
hawks

*

We felt dazed by 
unscripted p l a y s
that informed f a s t
            dreams

They begun as poems
untied their l a c e s
c r a z y thoughts
redeemed

*

I seduced
your blank pages 
with s c a r l e t
         thoughts

Our minds pondered—
carving fine-line wonders— 
on s k i n s  they
seamed

*

Now our page is orphan,
blank, and d e v o i d
of our ink 
          scratches

Which we read as p o e m s
but then turned all silent
s a f e in thoughts— 
slow-streamed

*

There is a sea of echoes
all those t i n t e d glasses
s t o r i e s that—still 
               screamed

                         Yet we had to stay silent
—while we craved e m b r a c e s—
crazy thoughts
       
                    R  e  d  e  e  m  e  d   ?

  1. Great poem! Love these lines especially:

    “Paper trails
    going amiss
    during our morning
    walks”

    “…as poems
    untied their laces”

    “Now our page is orphan”

  2. Your crafting and arrangement of the letters in this fascinating expressable manner is damn fantastic. Love the series of thoughts and the carving of the poem.
