Easel propped
in this brain,
I smell the balm of God’s well,
the author’s oils of verse-
Mind to heart
brush to page.
Read its dainties-
Taste the bitters!
Pen-
the silent dictum
the flowered creed~
a sojourn’s picnic,
from petits fours
to portly feast.
Shade-
the cutters edge
in poignant sting,
blue velvet blood
from tears palette
of hidden pain.
Hands dance
each eloquent utter~
Tint the joys
life’s collage-
Dreams, whims-
visions mapped
like papyrus scrolls
swept ashore.
Too deeply felt,
the scalpel moves.
Mixing hues
from once lost love-found,
igniting flames
set fire to thought
then cools from
unbridled ardor;
Embrace-
the inked drama,
The write's
adoring Inspiration!

Such an eloquebt description of how a poem comes to be.
Superb writing!
Hope you can hear my APPLAUSE! -
a basket of intriquing thought weaved into a melting blaze
kinda reminds me a bit of blown glass objects
start with a piece of glass and blow in the color, shape and form
before you know a sculptured vase, butterfly or symbol is
created to be adorned.

Although the whole piece is excellent, that has to be my favorite stanza. I also liked the image of being swept ashore. Such lovely images! This whole poem is amazing and very well written.
Thanks for entering
