Kaleidoscope – 22nd July 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

Nothing is ever as good as it seems; float on a sigh,
all my imaginings and their themes float on a sigh;

Alone amongst friends and too busy to wait,
running nowhere and watching my schemes float on a sigh;

With a prod and a push, a light shone on me
where the angelic rainbow streams float on a sigh;

Splitting the prism, wandering in the wavelengths,
watching as your white-winged sunbeams float on a sigh;

So realise it forever, Shaun, you are now one lucky guy,
together we’ll build a world where our dreams float on a sigh.

Written for the GloPoWriMo Day 8 prompt:
write a ghazal that takes the form of a love song.

  2. Shaun, this feels like a delicate meditation on beauty, inner struggle, and the tension between imagination and reality. The refrain “float on a sigh” becomes increasingly poignant as the poem progresses – it’s very romantic ❤️
