Teetering tiptoes grasping ends
world steps from dark to day
from faraway as beauty bends
eyes pause, to soak in stilling way;
I act the idle play,
determined to pretend
that love has not held spellbound
lifted feet from solid ground,
in rising desires and passions found
touching walls with sweet soul sound;
corners have no voice but echoes tell
the wonder and feelings, crowding all
rising from desire’s deepening well
from heart burst rush to verge of fall
my faithless will so poorly attends.
Teetering tiptoes grasping ends.

I'm not the biggest fan of rhyming poetry, but every now and then I find a good one
I especially like the non-consistent rhymescheme you have used here That feels more naturally in fact, at least, in my opinion.
thanks for this entry as well!

Wow, this style is something I've never seen come
from you before. IT is very fluid and the rhymes
give echo to the feelings imbued. Blue

A beautiful, beautiful piece. Your wrods are so wonderfully chosen but none are forced. The imagery is stunning and rhyme excellent
Thank you so much for this fine entry

Well this is beautiful. Stunning. Rhyme that seems quite effortless. Loved these brilliant lines, "my faithless will so poorly attends.
