Diamond Dreams, ITQ

Before the day turned into night, when the sunbeams whirl out of sight, I'll seize garnet streaks of twilight, let lamps within heart reignite. Above hills of hope where stars sail~ quills powdered with gold shall prevail, and I'll weave this unwritten tale, dress scars of sky with beaded veil. I'm a dreamer, longing to hear, twinkling tunes from an eclipsed sphere, where tides of love wouldn't be a fear, while ivory shores unfold near. I'm the artist of my own night, drawing diamonds from lunar sight.

Quite a quatorzain! Empress, I have spent some time visiting heaps of poets pages looking for stand out gems. I don't have time to comment on all my favorite poet's poems any more ( as my health declines) so this way I get to comment on the most magnificent, and this one fits the bill. It is wonderful. Your rhyming is superb, and the descriptive passages are awe inspiring. I just love everything about it. A true Gem. Best wishes from Wen.

Sunsets give rise to allegorical tales of meaning. The end of light gives rise to a different show during darkness. You get to do whatever your heart tells you and it is very pretty.

What a lovely poem dear poet and one with wonderful rhymes and flow and you tell that you struggle with rhymes? that is not the case here.... I'm a dreamer longing to hear... are not all of us? I like the independent feel to this poem, especially in the last stanza.. you keep drawing those diamonds and being the light for others.. an excellent take on the contest.. Best of luck in it!
