Angel of Arctic Moonrise

This poem is a special devotion for my mother, who has always been a healing sun for these wintry eyes. Mumma, you're my hope, my strength, my magic and my heartbeat. I'll always find my fairy-lights in your soul, as you're my home, where this child will always return after playing with solemn sunsets. Happy birthday to you..

"Mum,
you are a barbie q u e e n,
for this fruity fairy,
as we t r a c e watermelon skies,
fluttering around the  k i w i  moon,
concocting i c y peach elixirs
from shiny shawls of
cashmere l u n a r beams"

As we both snorkel with
crystal fins of clarity,
in turquoise seas
of the marine edens,
waving to the
watercolor spirits of
dusky nymphs,
our souls sing
in the ocean's heart,
encasing solemn sighs
in conch shells,
that got lost within
sirens of aquamarine.
Evermore, liberated
beyond the haze
of sepia gulfs
that chained us,
beneath ~
timeless tapestries,
we trail footprints
of cherished lilies
in mauve hail,
falling upon
sandy shorelines.

I'm a baby blossom, 
resting upon 
emerald sepals, 
of her crimson elegance; 
my cherry lips 
spin seafoam spells, 
for you ~
my red diamond swan, 
flying with
pistachio feathers.
Can you hear
my heartbeats,
throbbing beneath
the pillow of pink roses,
sewn with the 
fragrance of your 
pearly ardour, mumma? 

I'm a daughter 
of an Angel, 
whose cape of 
arctic moonrise, 
swathes every 
aching eye, 
with milky light 
of cosmic faith. 
She spreads a carpet 
of aliferous Auroras, 
allowing my tears 
to dance on 
its feathery 
peacock wings. 
She's the lifeline 
of constellations, 
which twinkle like
kins of the
wayfinder's galaxy.

She's more than a
bejeweled brushstroke
of Van Gogh,
ribboned with
strawberry stars,
smeared with
fairy-glow of divinity.
Inhaling comets
of creamy compassion,
she's a warrior
with dahlia sword, 
melting every 
jade eye's
evil aroma, 
to buttery flakes 
of symphonic soothe. 

I no longer search 
for oceanic archangels, 
for I've found my 
healing home, 
in her sunflower dreams. 
She's the vanilla warmth
for the aching 
Himalayan snow, 
a glare of 
peaceful amulets
for shivering life, 
and the sweetest 
melody of 
sugarplum sonatas;
mumma, 
you are my seventh heaven. 

Carving the saga, 
of a celestial Queen and 
her princess, 
eclectic epitaphs will 
harmonize in 
ethereal hymns 
of rhapsody, 
knitted by a 
cosmic mother
for her raspberry sapling. 
You'll always be 
that last zephyr 
of cathartic mantras, 
which will envelop 
my heartbeats 
in hydrangea hues.

You have purely described your mum in phrases that are so expensive and heavenly significant. Mothers deserve to be praised for such heroic displays of power and love. They show it like it doesn't cost a sweat. Blessings and balloons. Lovely craft Hiya.

A beautiful and touching dedication to your mum.. It is a beautifully crafted tribute to her, celebrating her with vivid imagery, emotional depth, and a profound sense of gratitude and admiration... It is rich in vivid imagery and symbolism, painting a picture of maternal love and devotion through nature-inspired metaphors. The use of elements like watermelon skies, kiwi moons, and crystal fins evoke a sense of enchantment and wonder, while also conveying the deep emotional connection..

There is nothing like a mothers love and this explores themes of healing, transformation, and spiritual growth, highlighting the transformative power of maternal love and the profound impact it has on the speaker's life. Through the nurturing presence of the mother, the speaker finds solace, strength, and a sense of belonging, transcending earthly struggles and finding sanctuary in her love.

This is the most intense tribute I think I have every read. Your poetry is for the mind what limoncello is to our taste. I have to take time after reading a work such as this to just take in the complete and utter feeling you created. I also wish to say that you have the character to recognize what your mom does for you and put it into this form. It's an ode to both of you.

Sweet tribute to mumma. She's your angel to guide your footsteps. I wasn't close to mine but I got to see her before she died in October. I was glad she got to witness my dad and I reconcile after 30 years estrangement before she passed. Anyway, this is about you. My wife is close to her mumma too, though 6,000 miles apart. Have a nice week Hiya

"She's the vanilla warmth for the aching Himalayan snow, a glare of peaceful amulets for shivering life, and the sweetest melody of sugarplum sonatas; mumma, you are my seventh heaven." What more does a mother need on her birthday to rejoice! Reading this splendidly beautiful dedication to your sweet mother, I have goosebumps all over me...... ! How proud and happy she must be to have such a gifted, devoted and loving daughter..... ! In my life, I have always longed for a daughter. Though my sons are precious, still I miss a girl child. "I'm a baby blossom, resting upon emerald sepals, of her crimson elegance; my cherry lips spin seafoam spells, for you ~" Hiya, you have blossomed into a beautiful flower shedding fragrance and have become the pride and envy of many! Into my FAVE

Awwn, beautiful poetess, firstly, your comment deeply warmed my heart and filled my soul with tears of gratitude. I can feel the sincerity of your soulfully appreciative words and truthfully, I'm lacking appropriate adjectives and words to describe how your kindness is a true blessing! Yes, I've a very special bond with my parents as I'm their single child..and especially, my mum is truly my heartbeat.. Thank you so much for seeing in between the lines of my poem and honouring me with these delightful words. You're one of my most favorite poetic souls and friend here :) Immensely grateful for your presence. Sending fairy magic and lots of love to you!!!
