Seeking Sensational Moments

Long sloping lines
Fill my softly
Blinking eyes in
Scattering rays

Jagged vibrations
Sonic tripping
Time dilations
Drawn out
The faster I run
The deeper my range
(οΉΛ ππ»ββοΈ ΛοΉ)
Lifted on mists of bliss
Choked and bound, drowned in clouds
Sucking breaths through my mouth
Binging on oxygen
Head bobbing out the top
Slurping up every drop

Sublime bouncing ochre peaks
Diving into mossy notes
Scrubbing down my sultry throat
Honey and lemon pealing
A drunken cherry on top
Deep crimson syrup absorbs
Dampens every peak and trough
β€οΈπ§‘ππππ
Until the dancing tones surround
Lifting skirts and inverting frowns
Legs kick heels click in a whirlwind
Waxing frenetic energy
Propels motion inertially
Rhythm entangled spectrally
An aural glow, generating
Sensual primal impressions

Ravenous for the cashmere caress
Incense burning, whiffs of scented bliss
Whispers of smoke graze my hands and face
Dove-hued ropes of breathy transcendence
Perception powers our conscious mind
Transporting us back in space and time
What latent powers lurk deep inside?
Creation and destruction flip sides
Of one incessantly flicking coin
π¨ππ οΈπ₯π£π₯
A melange of Experiential joy
Enveloping and infiltrating me
Shade, tone, aroma, all compound inside
External stimuli collide with my
Nervous system, exhilarating, and
Intoxicating; amalgamating
Chemically bonding, new creation
Mirroring the formation of my soul
Igniting passion, rewriting meaning
Leaving nothing left unsaid or unfelt

This form of poetry is called a Decible. My poetic baby. I am partial to syllabic poetry, and so I arranged the building stanzas of increasing syllables in a way I found aesthetically and rhythmically pleasing.
A quick overview of what a Decible is and how to write one:
The Decible poem is composed of ten stanzas in total.
The first stanza begins with one line, increasing one line at a time, ending at ten lines.
Each stanza increases the number of syllables per line, from one syllable in the first line until you compose the tenth stanza with ten lines of ten syllables each.
I have written several, as I am sure you can imagine, being as how this is my mad creation. Here is a Decible inspired by color and perception.
I even tried one for the Instructions for Disappearing challenge. It didn't win, but I thought it turned out pretty good anyway.
I am sharing this to the Happiness and Light unofficial challenge hosted by John Cox and Paul Stewart.

Like John I was gobsmacked by this. I love climaxes and crescendoes and this was like a gradual frenzied poetic echo of all such climaxes and crescendoes. Colour and emotion. Joy and fulfillment soaked throughout. Loved it. Thank you for taking part. I am now reading the entries and once John and I have deliberated we should have the results this week.
Your mad creation builds to a crescendo of kaleidoscopic color and intensity. This is like a poem about every high, every swoon worthy moment, everything under the smiling sun. I am gobsmacked, truly.
Nice! I appreciate the form and what you did with it. Good luck in the challenge and thanks for the lesson.
Oh boy I love this! It's so effective in the way it builds in intensity. Colorful, cosmic, just wonderful. Many favorite words, but "Dove-hued ropes of breathy transcendence." I mean, it's impossible not to love that line. Joyful work!
