Afterglows of Love-at-First Sight
A Rambling Double Villanelle
One glance can ignite powerful potions,
releasing rare philosophers' stone gifts
that float atop a fathomless ocean.
*
Life’s elixir infused with emotions
gives energy for love’s jewels to exist.
One glance can ignite powerful potions.
**
A spark enkindles twilight reflections.
Dark nostalgia holds trumpeting swan rifts
that float atop a fathomless ocean.
***
Blue magic hours echo impressions,
where alchemy transforms dreams as light shifts.
One glance can ignite powerful potions.
****
Times sands hold diamonds' illumination
where prisms reveal mirages in drifts
that float atop a fathomless ocean.
*****
Agile, wild dreams fly with little friction.
Two unite forming a bridge that persists.
One glance can ignite powerful potions.
******
A spark combusts at high elevation.
A font of sacred hope spews in the mists
that float atop a fathomless ocean.
*******
What results is no fanciful fiction.
Real grit from fantastic illusion sifts.
One glance can ignite powerful potions.
********
Love's slipstream flows with liberation.
Rippling whispers of hushed-hearts dreams exist
floating atop a fathomless ocean.
*********
Like Dolphins that choose breath with intention
love-at-first sight requires attention.
One glance can ignite powerful potions.
that float atop a fathomless ocean.

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
