Midst night it breaks,
like a
potent fire;
does not put out.
Sweet
white
harmony dissipates.
Love was,
“Betrayal,” meet “Desire.”
Plural eyes her life’s force renew.
Resurrection, hurry along,
woah, do me do.
Chaste the lark, unsung the blues,
warming lyric palettes, cooling lusty hues.
Two weeks, recall, I was so into you.
“Ah! Love, you know why it cannot be you.”

Thanks so much for reading it. You have no idea how many times I deleted and resurrected this thing, thinking no one would like it. I’m very surprised at the response. Your support means a lot, thank you.

Beautiful and so distinctly you. The typography would lend itself well to a plate or mug or even a t-shirt! You should burn a screen and screen print it on something!

Thanks so much for that. I never thought of doing that with this poem, but those iron on Tshirt labels were on my list of projects, so I am grateful for the idea. Be well, my Angel.

Direct printing is always more durable than an iron on, but you can use the same plastisol ink on paper printed in reverse treated with a special adhesive powder for an iron on. Either one would work – it’s just so pretty it looks like it should be printed on something! Have a wonderful night as well xo

Thanks for this information. I have been asking around but only got limited information. Some of my colleagues coach sports teams and do this a lot using inkjet printers, etc. I could get direct printing but I’ll have to ask a company to do it and it’ll cost a fortune and take too much time just for a look see. Your input is much appreciated, as usual. x

This kind of poetry is called concrete poetry. If heart symbolizes love that is.

Thanks for the terminology. The heart upside down symbolised love turned “upside down” or perverted through lust. x
