Sweet sacred soul

Hush hush,

sweet sacred soul.

White winter’s kiss did burn

in echoes of dust and gold;

a fabric woven in laced stone.

Sweet wine now passion unleashes

for her eyes, emerald and azure

are pools of spiced mystery.

Eloquence of black turquoise ripples

and pink-laced lingerie summers

are enveloped in the scent of relics.

There are breathing books on the shelf;

pages of winding staircases and

whispers transcribed on her soft skin.

Sweet sterling etched Scottish shadows

make love within these purple mountains,

caught on memory’s frantic photography.

It hints at wild horses sipping trickling streams

in those ancient forests of untamed fairies,

and how they murmur lullabies

of hush hush hush…

I love this journey through your words so elequently spoken. The last 4 lines are so impressive and the imagery through the whole poem reduces me to a sigh.

This is so eloquently written, I loved your fantastic use of imagery, it had a mythical, fairy tale feel to it. It's so romantic and sweet. I really enjoyed the lines; "There are breathing books on the shelf, pages of winding staircases and whispers transcribed on her soft skin." So lovely. This piece was penned with such a delicate hand, your gift is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

Again, this is just beautiful....I wish so badly I could say more than beautiful, but, again, I am in awe. I love the idea of "hush", so I was kind of drawn in immediately.. :) I love the imagery-each line paints a picture of an enchanted world. Your word choices are just breathtaking and give life to this beautiful, beautiful poem...

[The 13th Eros]

Sarah, so wondrous to have you by again! I hope you're finding much sweet inspiration... you are extraordinary, dear one.

[Sarah Marie]

The inspiration has been hesitant to appear this past week, but I am hoping for the best for this new one! Same to you as always!

[The 13th Eros]

Then may it flow as rivers in the spring. I look forward to more of you. :)

[Michael Kevin Spencer]

Some odd amazing lines in this, I especially liked the first 4 lines and these two:

1. Eloquence of black turquoise ripples
2. Sweet sterling etched Scottish shadows

Unique writing is really appreciated, though I do think it could use some formating or possibly stanzas?

[The 13th Eros]

I always appreciate your time and comments, my friend. Thank you! I am far from a poet laureate... I just let passions give their voice through me.

[Frieda P]

I think I've been hypnotized here, oh my. I don't know where to start, this is just sheer loveliness from beginning to end. This tickled me in all the right places. Stunning.

'It hints at wild horses sipping trickling streams
in those ancient forests of untamed fairies,
and how they murmur lullabies...'
