Day 17 PAD 2023

 

This poem is presented in its rough draft form for the PAD 2023 challenge and will be revised.

“The Night”

Ignite nerves.
Candles burn flames
dancing, reflecting curves.
Skin seeking
kisses
seeking skin.
Curves reflecting dancing.
Flames burn candles,
nerves ignite.

When Shakespeare wrote

A candle flame flickers as your hand bumps the inkwell.

Stories tumble in your head. You embrace the muse to tell.

A quill, a fixture in your hand, paper running with rhyme.

You howl when the language blocks the end of the next line.

One man, on a lonely night, builds new words for new worlds.

Your writing resolve created lines that take flight like birds.
