I long to hear your golden prose
Your lips utter sweet nectar signs
In your eyes an opal star shines
Three words sum up a lifetime
*
You hold my heart and soul into
A universe of your graceful palm
Unbeknown to you the embers within
I long to hear your golden prose
*
Your silence speaks a silver truth
When you deny it with your words
Yet they become my only hope
Your lips utter sweet nectar signs
*
Weight of the world you seem to bear
And you compare your beam to rust
Your gold to dust, and little things
In your eyes an opal star shines
*
When you arise from the ashes
You'll see the full painting unfold
Eloquent gold and silken rivers
Three words sum up a lifetime

A/Q: do you Know what the three words are? :))
(Cascade), a form created by (Udit Bhatia), is all about receptiveness, but in a smooth cascading way like a waterfall. The poem does not have any rhyme scheme; therefore, the layout is simple. Say the first verse has three lines. Line one of verse one becomes the last line of verse two. To follow in suit, the second line of verse one becomes the last line of verse three. The third line of verse one now becomes the last line of verse four, the last stanza of the poem. See the structure example below:
( a/b/c, d/e/A, f/g/B, h/i/C )
