Smooth ripples

rhythm

Smooth ripples

In the realm where senses intertwine,

A tactile sonnet, smooth and divine.

A whispering symphony, silk on skin,

Where gentleness commences, and dreams begin.

Picture a river, in moonlit grace,

Its surface gliding, a serene embrace.

The water's touch, a seamless dance,

Smooth ripples weaving, a silent trance.

Smooth as the petal of a rose,

Unfolding secrets that nature bestows.

Velvet to fingertips, a silken bloom,

Softness that transcends a garden's room.

I ponder upon a pebble, worn by the tide,

Caressed by the waves, on this oceanide.

Smoothed by time's patient, relentless hand,

A journey through ages, a tale of sand.

Lustrous marble, in the sculptor's hands,

Carves a narrative where smoothness stands.

Michelangelo's chisel, a caress refined,

A masterpiece born, in the smoothness enshrined.

Behold the curves of a grand piano,

Ebony and ivory, in harmony flow.

Each note a whisper, a melodic stream,

Smooth as the moonlight's elusive gleam.

Silken threads weave a tapestry fine,

In the loom of time, a design benign.

The fabric of life, a texture so smooth,

Woven with moments, a continuous groove.

Gently cascading, a waterfall's grace,

Smooth descent, in a liquid embrace.

The rocks below, polished and sleek,

By the water's touch, a story they speak.

Imagine a pearl, in its oyster's embrace,

A lustrous jewel with a shimmering grace.

Born of adversity, layers in a shell,

Smooth as a promise, only time can tell.

Silent winds brushing a mountain's face,

Eroding rough edges with patient grace.

Contours refined in nature's own plan,

A testament to smoothness, earth and sand.

A river stone, cradled in a palm,

A testament to nature's calming balm.

Smoothness, a language etched in stone,

In quiet repose, a truth is known.

A sip of honey, a liquid gold,

Smooth sweetness in each tale it told.

Dripping from combs, a labor's delight,

Nature's nectar, smooth and bright.

A whispering zephyr through willow leaves,

Caresses branches, in the evening eves.

Smooth as the murmur of secrets untold,

In the rustling branches, a story unfolds.

And what of love, in its tender reign?

A dance of hearts, where emotions wane.

Smooth as a lover's gentle touch,

Igniting passion that means so much.

So let us celebrate this symphony,

Of all things smooth, in sweet harmony.

For in the touch of smoothness, we find,

A universal language that binds.

In the tapestry of life, a silken thread,

Smoothness intertwines, where souls are led.

A tactile poem, in every caress,

Smoothness, a blessing, in life's finesse.
