Mitigating Melancholy
Tribulations set - incessant
our volume dials
& degree of trials
are profiled taboos turned too high
State fault lines fence
boundaries for friendly breadth
through baking worded showbread
we present poems of verdant depth
Transposing sustaining solaces
scripting toward temporal semblances
of salted wholeness
Allies of transcribed influence
friends with polished pens
lessening the poignant lonlinesses

My Lady Willow Wept (written by... well... me....)
Once in my world of Darkest Rainbow....
Black colour poured all over my heart....
When I saw a Girl under a Willow....
The Rain was just about to start....
I didn't dare to make a sound....
Under the Leaf-less Tree....
Wind Didn't Disturb the sadness-Drowned....
Not Her, the Angel of Nobody....
Bearer of Signs in Crimson Style....
The ones filled by all the secrets she kept....
And All I could give was my Pained Smile....
To my Lady Willow Wept.
Note: I don't like naming people & I'm pretty sure the person it's about will recognize themselves when they'll read this so... let's just say it's about "Mrs. Willow" ^^

Muse
the dark soul of night is a wild drink
of soft, cherished amber and ripe rose,
exposed and unconfined, yet intimate in
her fragility.
her heart beats with an erotic stillness—
eloquently woven syllables upon the palms of god,
drifting delicately along acoustic lines;
I taste her heartbeat within my own.
she breathes in rich, warm shades of aubergine,
a form of purity in my enduring solitude,
as the fervor of her bosom etches out the heartache
of an unkempt world—
her breath of arousal, untamed.

Nameless Muse
The person I cannot see, but the words that I feel
And can hang onto. Your brightness will steal
Away the darkness and bring me home when
I feel all alone. You take me for a ride and spin
Through some normalness when I feel like
The world is tilting. You take the sharp pike
Right from my heart and throw it away into
The stream. I know that it is going to be you,
Faceless muse, who comes to save me from
This crazy world. I follow your every crumb.
*dedicated to a lot of people here on DUP, I could not just pick one person.

These were all amazing entries and I struggled with the selection. Thank you so much for participating in my tribute comp here. We all have someone who inspires us just a fraction of a bit more than any others. I was surprised to find 2 writers who tributed each other in this one. Beautiful work everyone! Congratulations Nephele on a well-earned trophy.
