A Dedication To Ink Empress

She's like the night, a lampshade lit across the room also a rose in a summer garden always ready to bloom She's like a thousand stars surrounding the moon a celestial scene of beauty here then gone too soon Ink Empress of the site she comments like an Angel always kind and always perceptive she enables Ink Empress of my heart, you make me grateful for you read my poetry but, you never label... You are a cyber friend from afar a leading star a Paridot of the sky with a hue one cannot mar Without soul blemish you always win by far for your kindness and gentleness, is on par Ink Empress of the night you contain so my sight, that even the quill of a bird, can see your light. Written by: Your Mystic Rose *** This is a tribute to a dear poet who always makes us feel at home, and if you haven't read her poetry yet, please drop by her page and read her, she's one amazing lady.

What an incredibly lovely gesture, Rose. I have said this so often too that Ink is such a people encourager and poet-uplifter. So often we pour our hearts into our words and a thoughtful acknowledgement is balm when you have emptied yourself into the worldy void (or at least it feels that way). A beautiful tribute, well deserved.

I loved it. the rhyming kept me intrested. I know the work that goes in making a piece like this. It's always better when you can read a piece unto the finish. Now I have to look at her work to see what you mean.

First of all Vie ,let me commend you on this wonderful Sonnet beautiful Soul. One Spiritual Soul will always recognise another no matter the distance, it's irrelevant , connection travels the miles. You are a beautiful Soul, Vie. Ink Empress is one too. I had the pleasure of getting to know her on Instagram through a mutual friend, Silent One. She is indeed a shining Star. A loving and caring Soul, and we are truly blessed to have her here. Love and hugs to both of you xxx

Oh my, my heart is melting on reading such a magical tribute for dear Ink Empress..You, dear Rose, are a purely angelic soul who senses beauty in a person's heart..Such an empathetic spirit you possess! And I agree, Ink is everything that you've described here..If she hadn't pushed me to join PoetrySoup in August, this year, I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to meet such miraculous people here..She has always been my inspiration in poetry. You are extremely kind to scribble such a heartfelt

tribute, that too, in the form of this majestic sonnet.. I'm swooning over the gorgeousness that you've poured here and I'm sure this must have melted Ink's heart.. "also a rose in a summer garden always ready to bloom She's like a thousand stars surrounding the moon", "a Paridot of the sky with a hue one cannot mar Without soul blemish you always win by far" Ah, just amazing! Sending you lots of love dear Rose, you are a blessed soul from the heavens, who embraces everyone with kindness.. A Fav this is!

Oh my sweet rose, im literally in tears reading this soulful and beautiful sonnet, dedicated to me, your precious ink glows like thousand roseate stars scattered across darkened skies, while im in so much pain today because of endometriosis, to see you write such a beautiful poem about me truly made my day, you really are like an angel, thank you! So very much sweet rose, no words, no poetry can describe the fragrance of your empathetic soul, cosmically connected to me and many here poetically—

A beautiful dedication to a wonderful soul, I am so glad I encouraged her to join the soup and then I felt like posting on here again also.. I am happy she is still here, despite the issues she faced when she arrived some a few people.. Always supporting and encouraging others.. I loved you sonnet and agree with all your words about her... Empress is a wonderful friend to me and this is a fave for sure... hope you had a nice day yesterday dear poet.

Silent one, i just want to take a minute. To thank you for encouraging me to finally get on soup, i feel like whatever may have happened on insta to my account etc happened for a reason and the reason maybe to find a poetic hideaway on soup, and its all because of you and you always know what i need and what would be best for me as you are my best friend and mentor. And because of you i got to meet poets like sweet rose. So thank you always, i hope you’ll always remember how much i appreciate you.
