The darkest hue
when the clouds are abalone,
are as whispers
in-between lips, they collide
with the taste of richer roasts
and dreams—such that
enslave me in body, in poem and ink.
January or June,
I find that he’s muse, one and only.

What a great symbiosis with the muse ensnared in ink… only a poet can do that.

The dark flavor here works for me – tantalizing and addicting is the muse!

A muse like that is worth having!
😉
To enrich like that..in only 44 words…….just so wonderful, and like a painting, or piece of music, it just seems wonderful again and again. ‘enslave me in body, in poem and ink.’ of course the lines should not be extracted, as all work best altogether,,,,,but what a line
I know I shall get more when I read this poem tomorrow, and more again the day after. Beautiful.
Thank you so much, Ain 😀 so glad the poem resonated with you 💄❤️
I had to look up ‘abalone’ as it wasn’t a word I’ve come across before, but after finding out what it means, it’s a fantastic bit of imagery.

Love your observation of the feelings of being attracted by an handsome bloke, where an innocent lass is just enamored. Great word craft Sanaa!
