Premiere Contest WinnerAnimating Innate Vibrance

As the mediterranean torrents 
thawed away this wildflower of Medusa ~
once roaring in merciless thunders, 
now, I'm found swaying,
midst lemongrass fields ~
conversing with freshwater naiads
for, every weed is a storyteller
      swirling in fountains of saffron and sage,
 separate from the roots that sing hesitance...

Wearing a tiara of time,
sleeves laced with stars ~
crawling upon the bittersweet bones,
like glitters of cinnamon glazed spells ~
 and the wand of destiny glowing
  in frolicking fingertips of jasmine-gold gloves,
 I'm the phase of periwinkle-plum peace
in the crepuscular crevices of cosmos...
  as existence turns to esoteric embers ~
serenading in space with blue lotus meteors,
 I'll be an enlightened elegy of poetic elixirs,
scripting elegance in mulberry-leaf marrows...
for, there's never ~
 meditation without musings,
    silence without symphonies,
      catharsis without pain,
          and wisdom without weariness...

"the spirit in me aches to blossom ~ unfurling fragile wings as they whisper and flutter, lightyears burnt to stardust... those edenic hues of pashmina rose shed solace in the arms of Lord ~ as they cradle my furry heart in acrylic mandalas, where the shades of sacrifice sigh... my champagne lips no longer tremble to twist the truths ~ when hours became hoaxed, so that the sun in me, can forevermore, breathe..."
As faithful fairies conjure every confusion from the haze of head to the hyacinths of heart, is the soul, lurking in lores laced with lilacs, an ambrosial linking between ~ those melodies that melt and fade on the hand-painted moments of today ~ carelessly unfurling from the citrus creases which shall be sung as bliss, beyond those time-tamed saints of tomorrows...? A queen without her crown, is still embellished with royal luminescence draped in aquamarine armour ~ she is a breath of boldness, sharpened glory birthed from those crystal caterpillar hues between life and death... Unleashing the claret coos of cynical seeds, I keep hanging on the cusp of confetti clovers ~ choreographing honeyed healing, as innate vibrance is animated ~ in mocktail inks of psychedelic fantasies... I'm a droplet of nirvana in ruby afterglows, swinging upon telepathic twigs ~ twinning with the tears of tulip-moon, when those icy-grape auroras disperse a million mists of bohemian branches ~ where miracles are not enslaved, to the mint marigolds of mystery and betrayal.

A queen without her crown but superbly adorned with a tiara of time, sleeves laced with stars, and a glittering of cinnamon-glazed spells. An enchanting poem so well constructed.

Wow... ! What royal luminescence for this young queen without crown. Let me adorn your head with a shining tiara. Your metaphors are unmatched with just a few to be on par with yours. "I'll be an enlightened elegy of poetic elixirs, scripting elegance in mulberry-leaf marrows... for, there's never ~ meditation without musings, silence without symphonies, catharsis without pain, and wisdom without weariness...So very true! Truths couched in alluring alliterations and wonderful metaphors. Your inward journey into enlightenment and self transformation is so very inspiring. Enjoyed your ambrosial linking between head and heart and your coming out of the haze of confusion to the hyacinths of clarity. I am sure this will be placed high! Kudos, dear Hiya.

Dear Hiya, all the great metaphors and lush sensory details create a dreamlike journey of self-discovery and transformation on this poem. I think your words dance between the heavens and the earth, together with nature, mythology, and inner landscapes. You have beautifully captured the process of embracing one's authentic self and finding strength in vulnerability. Definitely Thought Provoking, Autumn Blessings, MY Dear Friend, Daniel

Dear Hiya, talented soul, this is beyond beautiful with a plethora of metaphors woven with such colorful words and phrases that enhance the depth of what youve conveyed in such eloquence! I love the way each stanza portrays one that holds onto light and fights darkness amidst the turbulent nature of life and all around! Youve done that very well! I especially love the second stanza how youv written that this powerful fighter seeking solace wears stars on her sleeves wearing a tiara of time! How creative and soulfully moving this is, there are so many lines that resonate with me, especially “ I keep hanging on the cusp of confetti clovers ~ choreographing honeyed healing,” ah the seamless alliterations! And i hope and pray that you will keep hanging on cusps of confetti clovers!
