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

(οΉ™Λ“ πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Λ’οΉš)

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

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

πŸŽ¨πŸ“πŸ› οΈπŸ”₯πŸ’£πŸ’₯

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!
