A Poem by SilentDream

shared for Albert's Poetry Cafe ~ Poet Craft: Form "The Dorsimbra" with Salvatore Buttaci

The Color of Sighs

(Dorsimbra)

Lamé translucence, fading silken dreams
A whisper's brilliant color flickers till
expelled. Its remnants flow in silver streams
A sigh surrounds and empty spaces fill

Eyes close to see
the color of sighs
interwoven
with residual wishes

Alas, a faded whisper lingers near
A breath so laden, light and swirling still
Exhaled and drifting within lucid mists
Lamé translucence, fading silken dreams

Sundae Laurenti

The imagery brought forth by this piece is that of a sound made by lovers. i dunno if this is some kind of discreet erotica focused on the beautiful soundless murmurs sweetly playing on air. Nonetheless, I like the words being used. They are carefully and artistically chosen to better grasp the colorful beauty of sighs which is best seen with closed eyes. It's well-written. This is truly a masterpiece!
