Wash Me With Your Words

Composed in French Kyrielle form..

Wash Me With Your Words

I let my warm imagination spring,
"Oh my, how your caress sets me aglow!"
Let's listen to what unsung songs will bring;
then, as you wash me with your words, I'll know.

I let you take me in your warm embrace,
with all your love upon me please bestow!
I wonder why I gift you my sweet grace?
Then, as you wash me with your words, I'll know.

I let myself to you be swept away, 
my eyes filled by the wonderment you show! 
Around 'n round within your arms, I sway; 
then, as you wash me with your words, I'll know.

I let you reach the depths of  my cold heart, 
whence you turn hardened glaciers to soft snow.
And, now no one can e’er pull us apart! 
Then, as you wash me with your words, "I'll know!"

It is a most enthralling composition, Yumna! : )
With beautiful picture, apt font and color, creative word selections, romantic ambiance, spot-on rhymes, and a flow smooth as warm honey, your lovely mind, heart, and soul have shared a masterpiece of true poetic excellence to make one's imagination virtually melt.
Every verse sings, and your refrain, "Then, as you wash me with your words, I'll know" tied it all together in an embracing bow of romantic promise.
What a pleasure it has been to work with you in learning and writing this excellent piece, Yumna … thank you ever-so warmly and gratefully for your trust in me, and the honor of teaching you your first Kyrielle … you are an amazing poetess! ⁓ Richard ✨

Richard, it wouldn't have been possible without you waiting so patiently for me to grasp how it really is done.
Thank you for the extremely kind words of appreciation. It was an amazing experience to learn from you the true art of poetry. I hope for more to come 😊

[Richard🖌]

You are most welcome, Yumna … just say the word, I would not miss the pleasure for anything! : )

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Neither would I want to miss it 😊

I love the soul of your poetry, and the form flows so fluidly in your thoughts. There is nothing forced, only the warmth of your love's gift coming to life. The rhythm and rhyme move like music in you, dear Yumna. Wondrous! 😊

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for appreciating, Craig. Glad you like it 😊

I grew up reading Dr. Seuss so everything in my head rhymes, which made this extra special. 😊

[Abdul Aziz]

It's hard to come across good rhymed poetry and harder still to come by some without cynicism. The repetitions really lend the poem an ethereal effect and the image really completes the picture of a perfect holiday or honeymoon. There's a hearty dose of self doubt, expressed in the line "I let you reach the depths of my cold heart" but the lines following that redeem the poet completely. Very well written.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

This was my first proper experience too with rhyming, so I'm glad you like it. Thank you for reading and appreciating :)

' I let you reach the depths of my cold heart,
whence you turn hardened glaciers to soft snow.. '

Beautiful in content and pure Kyrielle form. Richard is a fine teacher and you, dear you, are a more than gifted student. Each of your stanzas contentedly strokes my heart!

What a quaint and lilting verse! I could imagine the meter sway languidly with magical caress of your well-chosen words in a beautiful poem of love and succour.

Great writing Yumna!

I love it. It does sounds like a song somehow.Thank you for sharing.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I didn't see it as a song but thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it 😊

This is pure song. This should have a theme. A love theme obviously. This is lilting.
