    The epithalamion is a challenging, even problematic, form today. Originally a poem to “celebrate” the bride on her way to the bridal chamber, the ancient forms were quasi-religious, ironic in this thin veiling of voyeurism and libertinism.

    Here, a contemporary spin.

    The masnavi is a kind of Persian narrative poetry with rhyming couplets, often with morals around Sufi mysticism, ethics, and theology. My lessons are perhaps more deconstructive illuminations.

  11. Some weeks, the weight doesn't show on the outside. This poem is for the quiet fear under the ribs, the one you carry even when no one sees it.

  12. A Lighter Step
    by Crissy Bliss Addams

    If my words once carried thorns,
    know they were born from bruises,
    not malice.
    I was still learning
    how to hold my own heart
    without letting it spill.

    If I reached for the light
    and cast a shadow on you,
    I’m sorry.
    That was never the shape
    I meant to leave behind.

    I’m walking softer now—
    less fire, more warmth.
    Less noise, more knowing.
    And though I can’t rewrite the echoes,
    I can choose what I carry forward.

    Peace, not proof.
    Grace, not guilt.
    A lighter step,
    and a quieter bloom.

  14. "Save The Best for Last"
    A #Poem written for my partner, Hikari Selene

    You've waited for so long
    While I loved others like a song
    Enough verses written to fill a tome
    Yet not once have I written you a poem

    Faithfully you've waited
    Silently you've anticipated
    With lips and hands pressed tight
    Loving me gently like moonlight

    But darling look around and see
    This life of ours is my poem to thee
    It's shaped by all the little choices
    And rhymes with both our children's voices

    A masterpiece is not composed fast
    I had to save the best for last
    The pieces of our hearts ring like chimes
    Celebrating a love meant to last seven lifetimes

    I've lost track of where I end and you begin
    To our generation that might seem like a sin
    Let's blaspheme as two souls mix where they meet
    I'll offer my prayers to the moon dust from your feet

    For our love has been a mythic fairy tale
    One forged like steel that's supple not frail
    It's elegance woven with grace and simplicity
    Into each minute since you first saw me

    To you I was guided like Theseus's twine
    By a crimson red ribbon with a grander design
    Of a pinky promise made in case I lost my way
    Silver light of night guiding towards dawning day

    Only for you can I weave all this meaning
    In a way beyond the first simple reading
    You alone have all the tools to decode
    Because you've made my heart your abode

    Before, I could not see this poem for you
    To observe it at all you need a bird's eye view
    It's breadth and depth beyond simply vast
    Because for you I saved the best for last
