am I not art

as the wind whistles warm wishes echoing the sea-salt silence flowing beneath silver-kissed waves I think of synonyms for love illustrating hate in elusive rhythm... for stars never envy the moon but silently orchestrate a cosmic choir of coruscating crystals in incandescent cadence swirling confetti across the nocturnal sky~ a compelling commemoration that you and I cherish in technicolor tercets… I ponder why do green-eyed gazers spinning lilac lies within jaded journals along jeweled realms rage with j e a l o u s y? pushing my quivering quill to question: am I not art am I not the muse am I not worthy am I not the ache romanticized with roses... perhaps these words are mere remnants of ramblings ricocheting rhapsodies within the breath of perfumed heartbeats that the kohl-cold souls can never taste... so I purge inked petals upon the digital canvas, that feels not lyrical lifelines bleeding ballads h i d i n g and h e a l i n g behind murky metaphors and alliterative adjectives weaving h o p e amidst the crestfallen sighs of bittersweet horizons…

IE, I think you've described what you do really well. You identify the things that bring us down and also that can find hope amidst all of it. Is this art? YES, absolutely. It's a real treat actually. If words could be candy, yours would have an interesting and changing taste. You could have a special line that I imagine would become very popular.

Beautiful poetry ink as always. Jealousy should be buried underground, never to see light of day or make a sound… Beryl

"for stars never envy the moon but silently orchestrate a cosmic choir of coruscating crystals in incandescent cadence swirling confetti across the nocturnal sky~" What powerful lines and what a lovely observation. Jealousy is a mean thing. Those who are truly great at heart will never feel jealous. If someone is doing exceptionally well, one can learn a lot from him or her. To be frank, the structure of my latest poem, I have copied from you. I am so glad, you are here to inspire us through your stunning poetry. Glad to see you placed at the top. Hearty Congratulations my dear friend.

We're only on earth for a short time in the big scheme of things, why waste it on jealousy and hatred. Love and respect is the only way for mankind to thrive. Have a lovely weekend. Tom

So true! Such wise words dear tom, i wish many would think this way. Ah life is too precious for negativity and for hatred, should be a place of love and kindness, always appreciate your kind support

I remember the trouble you had on Instagram, mostly born of jealousy. I've run into some of the same. If I post a blog I'm just desperate for attention. Though my poetry gets lots of support it's undeserving. Still, we produce our art because it IS worthy, at least to some. Your poetry certainly is a unique work of art Inky. Please keep writing

Poetry iv used as a metaphor here but can be applicable, sometimes the worst are not the ones that are open about their hatred for one, but the ones that disguise themselves as friends from my experience in real life .Your poetry is undeserving of support? I dont think so, you deserve always what you give. And i appreciate your kind response about my poetry and also for remembering those days , i try now not to think about .. Losing years of poetry posted isnt a pleasant feeling. I write yes to relieve myself not to please so i keep writing even when im not appreciated too sometimes, and even when some think my words arent worthy of accolades, always grateful for your support Tomsz

Love holds only four letters, but I have never found a synonym that comes close to describing the depth of its meaning. Dear Ink, jealousy is a wasted emotion for it gains nothing and only hinders its beholder. No one should ever make us feel unworthy in any way. Certainly not a poet whose emotions are laid bare... Yours are in these intricately effusive lines.

Such an exquisite Poem Inky. How you incorporated the stars not being jealous and all being in sync with each other was such a creative thought you shared. So loved this one from you I am giving it a fave...

Thats so kind of you dear michael! Thank you so much for the fave and your generous support : appreciate always your visits

My gosh, this impeccable piece of poetry stirred my soul in so many ways as the questionings which youve so evocatively knitted here resonate with my heart ever so deeply! Every fragment of our soul is an art, forlorn yet eternal ~and we are more than the raging jealousy of those "green-eyed gazers spinning lilac lies within jaded journals along jeweled realms" Ah absolutely poignant and so deeply vulnerable my dear ink! How metaphorically beautiful is your wordplay here and the flow of emotions made my soul sigh! There is yet so much power infused within these lines and you've made everything dance so eloquently with alliteration, adjectives and what not ~ "echoing the sea-salt silence flowing beneath silver-kissed waves I think of synonyms for love " Gosh love that! And that ending as well, so brilliant!

"so I purge inked petals upon the digital canvas, that feels not lyrical lifelines bleeding ballads" How evocative is that! The way we bleed our fragility onto the digital canvas with our fingers tracing the alphabets of our ache... we don't wish to be understood by those who know not any language above envy and jealously, but we wish for our hearts to be caressed by the wind of poetry that can ultimately find us, hidden in spaces. I felt so much while reading your words, dear fairy goddess! Absolutely nailed it! A fave ~

Dearest Inky,this is honestly so beautiful. Your words just flow with such emotion—it’s like reading a dream. I love how you painted such vivid imagery, especially with the sea and the stars, and the way you mixed love, longing, and that quiet ache of being misunderstood. That part about "inked petals on a digital canvas" really hit me. It’s so raw and creative. You have such a unique way of expressing yourself— Hugs

I couldn't love this more! "pushing my quivering quill to question: am I not art, am I not the muse, am I not worthy, am I not the ache". The whole poem is amazing read forwards, backwards and side to side! Think I'll fave :)
