Fascination Rippled

Sensual divinity enlightened
while delicate footsteps roamed sand's texture,
light flooded this mind with a smile's garland,
insight caressed thought; a spiralled author.

While delicate footsteps roamed sand's texture,
beautiful clouds strolled across the sky's sighs,
insight caressed thought; a spiralled author,
imagination dripped pleasure from eyes.

Beautiful clouds strolled across the sky's sighs,
fascination rippled through a cool breeze,
imagination dripped pleasure from eyes
as wonder lapped shores of the seven seas.

Fascination rippled through a cool breeze,
sweet-scented blissful moments gathered tears
as wonder lapped shores of the seven seas,
peace descended; removing all dark fears.

Sweet-scented blissful moments gathered tears
into little pools; finery's colour -
peace descended; removing all dark fears,
I caught a glimpse of the spirit's keeper.

Into little pools; finery's colour,
my laughter quickly danced its wet freedom,
I caught a glimpse of the spirit's keeper,
awe captured every second's wide chasm.

My laughter quickly danced its wet freedom,
light flooded this mind with a smile's garland,
awe captured every second's wide chasm,
sensual divinity enlightened.

The pantoum is a rare form of poetry similar to a villanelle. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next. This pattern continues for any number of stanzas, until the final stanza, which usually contains the first and third lines of the first stanza as its second and fourth lines. Often, the final stanza's fourth line is the poem's first, and the third line of the poem may or may not appear as the second line of the final stanza. Ideally, the meaning of lines shifts when they are repeated although the words remain exactly the same: this can be done by shifting punctuation, punning, or simply recontextualizing.The pantoum is originally Malayan and is adopted infrequently to English.
