Sweet Dreams

PRIDE Senryu + Tanka chain

By K.B. Silver Published 7 months ago 1 min read

Dreamy

Dominate my dreams

Fill my open mind and mouth

Dance upon my lips

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Dream Girl

Tiny ruby lips

Perfect for a night time kiss

Dissolved with the sun

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Haircut

Not one out of place

Coif that sets my heart ablaze

Lips part and moisten

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Lust

A burst of passion

Sounds and colors meld and swirl

Coming up for air

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Calypso

Sweeping sonic hues

Pikake and hibiscus

Steel drums dance a tune

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Love Note

Voice of a siren

A picture of perfection

Song of destruction

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Silence

Tremors taking hold

White noise inundates my soul

Laughing in my face

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Listen

My unbridled joy

Soar to unparalleled height

Letting sound ebb through

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Banter

Miss your lilting voice

My only sparring partner

I’m always en Garde

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Trigger

Words can’t be unsaid

Unlocked drawers, pulled files, names read

Your voice is the key

Unpack what’s stapled and stacked

Locked vaulted ephemera

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Voice of My Heart

Cutting heartfelt quip

Bright melodic laughing fit

Singing or speaking

In lyrical honesty

Heart-melting humanity

▶︎•၊၊||၊|။|||| | 𝄞 ♪🫦

Universal Language

The gulf between us

Penetrated by your voice

Rousing my body

We have no conversation

Each anticipating needs
