Deem it true
All consuming
Swirl of prussian blue
Let us dip in, immerse
Breathe in tales of rapture sweet
Many a perished soul lies sombre
Before conceding death, its final kiss
Yours, will be memory when orb does fade

What a brilliant etheree! (Transcending form.)
Also, I have been thinking for a long time what fabulous, perfectly chosen images you find to illustrate your poems.
Thank you so much, Rosemary 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
Beautiful.
Thank you kindly, Helen 🙂 so glad you liked it.
Lies sombre before
Conceding death
In many instances demise of a person is preceded by lying prose for some reasons eg fraility, sickness etc. Pity!

How memory makes life so sweet as age wearies us letting us relive our halcyon days. Perhaps one day I’ll try this interesting form myself Sanaa.
Definitely ❤️ thanks for stopping by, Robin 🙂
oh yes that Prussian blue is just the right colour for the passion and after Rosemary pointed out that it is an etheree (had to look it up!), your 10 liner is even more impressive

A good choice of form, Sanaa, which you have executed with panache! I love the use of colour and painterly words: ‘swirl of prussian blue’ and the imperative form, which captures the reader and guides them to the end of the poem.
Thank you so much, Kim ❤️ good to see you 🙂
