Breathing Dreams

I sketch musky infernos with kohl ink
when dead wings of flurry moon lace my
copper blue lashes and ripples
of faith crash furthest seashores,
Draping stelliform-soul
in strokes of starlight
which drizzle as
lemon drops
upon
pink
sheet-
canvas,
So when red
letters twirl like
blood stained cranberries,
rose-gold amulets will
always save the salted flesh
of sun and wildflowers shall shine
as magenta peony-bows in
maroon hair-strings, forever breathing dreams.

Forever breathing dreams! I absolutely love this double etheree! The kind of etheree that i would appreciate! Your use of colors and words that truly connect with me is beyond impressive and impeccable! I love the opening! And how you’ve painted imagery in such a descriptive manner! And theres so many lines in this that made me choose this as a winner! Whilst sticking to syllables you’ve really delivered a very creative take! I remember you used to say you cant do forms! Now look at you! Congratulations

This stands apart from all etherees I have hither to read....in an excellent way. The very opening line captures our attention when 'with kohl ink you begin to sketch musky infernos'. After reading your poems when I read your comments praising my poems, honestly I feel how undeserving I am to gloat over those words. I know you are writing hollow words (?) with a good intention to boost the confidence of a fellow poet. For that I am grateful to you gifted poet....

Awwn, dear poetess, you're seriously too kind to honour me with such heavy and glorious words of praise! I'm just a budding poet, 18 years old, & I've so much to learn from you all.. I really enjoy exploring new things and especially learning from everyone's artistic skills. And you're honestly, one of my most favourite poetesses! Im really blessed to have found such supportive souls here on PoetrySoup who gift me so much with their kindness and encouragement, I'm always grateful to you :)
