T i m e ~ you are the spark that tips the scales of lovestruck heartbeats, ricocheting glyphs of fairness, etched with gold and silver. Yet seasons of smoke fail to trace the unexpressed emotions woven with ultraviolet beams. Perhaps the ticking truth of intoxicated haze, is a resonance of pained pulses: a poem without a title, a sonnet without a rhyme, a melody without a rhythm, a palette without a dream, cosmically tied, yet torn by space, pondering: what if these implicit metaphors heal the beautifully bruised, paint the scars with flares of serenity, turn bleeding wounds into sterling specks, and draw hope with swirling sunflowers? As I am a wordless wanderer, facing the heat of sultry skin within starlight, tasting the milky flickers of quartz as they seep into the warm arms of blushing twilight. These fingers curate chronicles from archaic archives, scintillating souvenirs, like a forest library with shimmering shelves touched by sunlit rays and mauve memories merging with evening mists. For I am the mistress of your amethyst afterglow, engrossed in the ambrosial luminescence of soft-spoken verses, as alluring auroras emanate burning thistles of thirsting galaxies~ the delicate dews of dancing diamonds caressing the silk of stars to drizzle one last drop of your pining poetry, while I await the return of Romeo’s rhapsody, like Juliet on the tantalizing tip of throes, counting Cupid's jewels of nightfall, wishing upon the dusk of craving. For in your absence, I am but a poet with no abstract speech, but doleful desires, longing to kiss the final phase of Luna’s sigh catching crooning comets, lost in the hypnotic moon-gaze of immortal love...

IE, it's funny to describe something like time as seeing itself as a wordless wanderer in prose. It's an expression of your humility which I greatly appreciate. You're also asking questions about healing and whether time can heal wounds. We have the expression "time heals all wounds," but I think it takes more than just time. Perhaps time gives us a chance to reflect, learn, and put things in perspective. If anyone embodies a celestial spirit and can inspire us to think about this concept, you are the one. Really, the way you ask these questions and point out the unknowns and possibilities opens my mind in a very pleasant way. Smiles!!

You're deffo no wordless wanderer. I've said it before but it never ceases to amaze me your inexhaustible flow of creativity. My fave line though is "a palette without a dream." I don't know why but it just feels so sad, so empty. A life without goals and ambitions. Stagnant, idle. Anyway, those are a few of my thoughts on this gem

Dear Empress, you are never wordless, but words flow from you in forceful cascades. Your metaphors are so unique and they never get exhausted. That's quite amazing. They come so handy to you. Alliterations like 'the tantalizing tip of throes,' the delicate dews of dancing diamonds' 'crooning comets,' 'mauve memories matching with evening mists....all are matchless. They are not simply alliterative, but birth beautiful images too. Another gem which is the afterglow of the pain you had to endure and the trials you overcame in life. All the Best.

more brilliant is this afterglow of a poem, more enticing than ' crooning comets ' or 'immortal love...yes, ink, you glow with this one!

Immortal love! It was cool how you referenced Romeo and Juliet in such an imaginative way.. loved the painting of afterglow as amethyst and the other beautiful images of romance. This is sure to be a winner, Ink
