Notes About The Poem


hi my lovely soupersz, hope you all are well ...

~   ~ just another quick weave from the heart ~  ~
 

a most distant sun

like the  f l i c k e r s 
      of light...
I was born later 
than witchcraft;
not a voodoo bride,
with thick velvet veil 
walking down 
with peacock-pearl waves,
in the silhouette 
of silver demise ~
like a carnation 
cloaked with cashmere coffin; 
but a corseted flame 
of bronze and blood ~
     as the moon bites 
          into the blaze of my heart;
liquifying the lapis blues 
and bleeding
the truths of luck, 
that flow in the 
elysian effervescence
wrapped in sunstruck ashes 
and aurelian sonatas ...

I need not the spiced tongue 
of tarot chariots ~ 
neither the vehemence 
of fire-dragon oracles ...
because the horoscope 
    of my heartbeat 
shall suffice to sear those stars 
starving for sultry eve's 
eloquence dipped in 
the dire desire to fuel their sparks ...

in this  d r e a m ...
of devotion for my deity,
neither dusk nor dawn 
can delude me ~
   because the essence 
of this spirit breathes me
in swarovski gold scars ,
a most distant sun
floating and glimmering 
through the jasmine elixirs 
of my mind,
where I may stretch 
across the soul-arcs
with swan elegance ~
rippling with wisps
of chiffon white ,
    in the mists 
of honey perfume 
and porcelain saudades ,
diaphanous in the streaks 
of shimmering solace ...
unspoken yet felt ,
  beyond kohl rain ruffles ...
and jet jinxed breezes ...

 ~ O mundane magic ~  
blemish me 
with bona fide 
        beams of aura,
 balming the brave 
        with an astral alliance;
and let me bathe my wings 
in the ache of aquamarines ...

as, the incensed heat 
of your baptized waters 
can rinse my cursed rose rings ~
and might make me illuminate 
in azure ice calmness , 
with my feet anchored 
to the feathery throne of fireflies, 
   like the  p r i e s t e s s 
                                    of  p a t i e n c e...
      
         warm with weak 
 ~ g l o w i n g   w i c k ~
                      of glossy green glitters ...

Hiya, Quite simply I am completely and totally overwhelmed by this extraordinary epic magnum opus. Effortless flow, nobel narrative, never straying from the topic. Cohesion maintained in a river of rapt observations. It entrances the reader and sustains my focus. I value all your lines. “diaphonous in the streaks of shimmering focus,” a favourite.🔥🔥⭐✨ Light n warmth Howard

I bet that headdress if that is what it is called was so heavy that her brain felt compressed. Creative lines penned, Sharma. Way to go. 👏✍️. Sara K.

Sweet Hiya, you are no voodoo priestess, but what you write is magical.... not through witchcraft or sorcery, but through the deft strokes of your pen.✍️ I am lost in the play of words, the glittering images you create and your wonderful alliterations. 🤔With swan elegance as you glide over the clean lake of poesy, we can only watch in awe. 😀😀Keep your golden quill always moving✍️💕

My dear newly adopted daughter, your flame burns with a heat that will never allow itself to be corseted. You have a heart that bleeds the truth, a soul that dives deep into your emotions and a pen that releases everything you feel on paper. No voodoo, no witchery, no horoscope or oracle can capture who you really are.

"I need not the spiced tongue of tarot chariots ~ neither the vehemence of fire-dragon oracles ... because the horoscope of my heartbeat shall suffice to sear those stars" Absolutely! The Divine Connection we have with our creator is source of truth enough. "my feet anchored to the feathery throne of fireflies," -- Love that! Wonderful writing.

Ugh I just am very resilient right now but for some reason my eyes teared up as i read “ ~ O mundane magic ~ blemish me with bona fide beams of aura, balming the brave with an astral alliance; and let me bathe my wings in the ache of aquamarines ...” sigh! To balm the brave isnt easy! Ache of aquamarines I felt so deeply!! That ending!! The alliterations and vocabulary there! Wow! Insane! I love love that! You are so very inspired! I can tell! I am impressed by this one!
