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 ✨

[Dr. YumnaKay]

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 😊

Beautiful. Gosh, don't we all wish for this!

[danielle.]

And I have earned something new tonight. Kyrielle. Thanks for the inspiration!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you! Yes, I agree! We all do wish for that 😊
I'm glad you got inspired by this. It was a new experience for me too 😊

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Beautiful poem! The title alone was great poetry, the poem was a great boot. The first stanza was a warm imaginative spring, my fave. Tyfs!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you, Cyprian! I'm so glad you liked it 😊😇

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

You're very welcome!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Lovely, soft, sad, romantic piece. Loved the line 'whence you turn hardened glaciers to soft snow.'

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you liked it 😊

[Ashwin Shanker]

The structure is spot-on. The rhyme scheme is also spot on. The words ooze with romance. You have made great use of this form and it is very romantic and inspiring.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for your kind words of appreciation, Ashan Shanker! I'm glad you liked it 😊

[andrew mitchell]

a well thought out piece, disciplined in its perfect format and enthralling in its imagery and emotions.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you for your kind words of appreciation, Andrew! It means a lot to me 😊

[andrew mitchell]

you are welcome, you are talented without my appreciation lol.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah no I think your appreciation would add on to the talent I still can't see in myself 😂😉

[andrew mitchell]

haha i'm humbled by your appraisal but you are upping the ante, maybe i'll start packing my bags now lol on your 420 views 28 reviews, i get that in a year on all my works maybe .. lol

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I think numbers are just numbers nothing too serious lol... You hit me hard with that statement, I'm speechless 😛

[andrew mitchell]

be prepared for more reviews on your works as you grow in stature of deserved popularity and you have earned it in your works

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Many thank yous for the encouragement, dear friend 😊 that popularity is mostly because of the cheekiness on my part lol 😂😂😂

[andrew mitchell]

If you got it flaunt it they say lol.:)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahaha right that's the way to go lol 😂

[andrew mitchell]

yes I choose the aussie andrew form somewhat different from the french kyrielle form, not so disciplined, not so good, a little bizarre maybe plain and not so popular in reviews, a bit like that detour off the highway that not many take lol:) Cheers my friend:)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'm new to this form and structure thing, Andrew. Might as well try the aussie andrew form soon, beware lol ;p :p

[andrew mitchell]

haha you are doing find, my path is not successful, fun for the writer but that's all.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Fun is what we're all after, aren't we? lol :p

[Lyn Anderson]

I just knew Richard was in there. Nicely done. Great additions the font and photo.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yes, he really helped me form this one! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for the appreciation 😊

[Kelly Scheppers]

A most lovely litany of romance...presented in perfect form!

The repetition of the last line being the same in each stanza, reads with such an eloquence...you should instinctively be proud of this one!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much, Kelly! That last line is actually my favourite 😉
I'm glad you liked this piece 😊
