An Abiding Thirst To Quench and Admire

When wands of beauty spell the core of heart
a rapture gasped and pounded into me
my vision I long to capture in art
with hands of poetry dipped into glee. 

When music flows through the chambers of mind
no sounds heard but steps of the soul in trance
as a glow of joy through the soul would glide
the self whirls and twirls in a divine dance.

When smitten with supernal sensations
mysteries, you seek to perceive and frame
taste sweet pains to reach higher dimensions
the soul is deeply moved by light and flame.

Ever, the heart fill and the mind inspire
With abiding thirst, to quench and admire.

The last two lines are what your beautiful poem is all about - wish I could write like you do dear Besma, your poems are sheer poetic talent which demand attention and admiration - like a magician, you take up a pen and create mysteries and miracles. I applaud you my friend. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

A beautiful sonnet Besma, there is so much beauty out there to capture and be it a pen or brush to deliver it to canvas or paper. Music too plays its part, it uplifts the soul. Tom

Music truly is, a "universal language"; every creature on this earth reacts to it. It lulls, appeases, inspires, enraptures...beautifully penned.
