~* Beyond Ivory *~

 

 

 

 






First words escaped from empathic lips
pouted in fantasia's pleasure
while creatures of habit hovered in mid air
with anticipation invited.

Dreamer's eyes scanned every quiet corner
in savored whimsical meandering.

(Its language, creativity lovingly cradled) 
Floral expressions woven,  flavored
within grandmother's vase~

so new arrivals could catch whiff of Compassion
as their wings settled poetic thoughts
onto parchment folds.

Salted crystals rested in virgin creases
from the night before~

became bond when verses nestled Strength

opened diary drank
amongst the finest of quill's ink;

blank pages Divinity colored carefully
beyond ivory.

    Beautiful write, Desire. Wonderful imagery and I liked the ending the best. It made me think of how people can sometimes find their muse to write for poetry. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.
