To write of writing seems so trite
and through this morning all alight,
composing and constructing rime
I seemed to focus all my time
on something sonorous and sleek
and this I cared to form and tweak.
Yet, I could not stay the sounds,
the ones that crack, the ones that round,
the ones that exhale in the wind,
the ones that rest and feed and sin.
I could not break them -though so eager-
then left for you, my reckless reader-
Something in the writing here
with devotion to the ear,
in the hopes that when you read
the music, timbre’d whole will cede
and capture from its hiding place
a flush – a sweltering embrace.

Lovely flow of words…a lilting lyrical feel.
Thanks. I was going for lyrical. 🙂
You achieved that.😊
Your poem’s rhythm was reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe.
I agree!
Wow. Lyrical beauty in every line. Thank you
And not a trite couplet in site.
Thanks.
