—————————————————
| soft, mad luster | sparkling wet dreams | elude my ears |
| just out of reach | and the aural orgasms | become my friends |
| I give chase | within my mind | tease my senses |
| from my lips | never-ending pleas | drip like lavender |
| the songs echo | and never-ending joys | bruise my heart |
| on the edge | assaulted by wicked Eros | I remain, perched |
| of luscious perception | I speak, held in stasis | by denied orgasm |
| this is music | this is music | this is music |
| I kneel | I feel | I steal |
| a willing masochist | enraptured in bittersweet | liquid tones and livid words |
| release me | and the orgasms will | spill onto paper |
| through my pen | explode forever into stars | and I am spent |
| only to | begin the sweet torture | again |
| seduce me again | I will never refuse | your machinations |
| give me life | give me love | give me words |
| give me beauty | I will never refuse | to sing |
| forever | forever | forever |

Very nice pic… yours always…
I love the construction of this. I work a lot with patter poetry, and have written something similar to this – not the subject, but verses that can be read horizontally and vertically as well. This is good!
This is a Masterpiece. I have not been to visit your site lately, and I’m glad I did today. A Majestic piece of writing !
A technical and difficult interpretation of the prompt. Very well done.
Bravo! I read them in columns first, then as one from left to write, which is my favorite, Brilliant!
I know this form must have taken a lot of work. You meshed your columns and lines wonderfully.
All I can say is Excellent!
You’ve inspred me to try this form myself sometime.
Thank you for sharing this.
This is amazing. The subtle permutations cause me hear the music you write. Thanks.
your words are an incredible visual treat…i have not worked in this form & you are obviously an inspiration to at least try
