Ink Empress Poet Abecedarian

Celestial Choreography

As the glistening jewels 
         of snow cascade like 
ballerinas pirouetting 
      to the crescendo of time, 
choreographed from porcelain 
      keys of your h e a r t,
delicate fingers of the 
      winter moon stretch,
enveloping forlorn footprints 
      of poignant memories, 
framed with petal-like poems 
      you've placed in the 
gallery of my melancholic mind 
     where soulless shadows still~
haunt me in holographic 
     hues through somber nights, but
If I were to rewrite the anatomy 
     of this romance with~
juxtapositions, should I rescript 
    your promises in p s y c h e d e l i c ink? 
knit silken sonnets from the 
    tapestry of scintillating 
           stars in our favour, 
letting go of all the 
         seasonal silhouettes
    that seized redolent rhymes, 
maybe, it is from pain 
    we relearn to dream 
    in periwinkle pigments to
nurture and navigate through 
    decayed gardens embalmed in 
opalescent tears and fluorescent fears 
             suppressed and 
personified within gossamer
     tales of sunflower s i l e n c e…
Quilted with questions that your 
     quintessential quill can~
reveal, in romanticised verses, to wade 
     through the abstracts of weary woes. 

So, set your stones to 
      architect cobalt grey lanes, 
to usher feathered thoughts into the 
      serenity of your scented sanctuary. 
until I find the perfect gateway 
      adorned with crystals in the 
verdant valleys, engrossed in vanilla flakes, 
where cosmic yearnings are embroidered 
   between mauve instruments
                    harmonised from 
xylophone whispers reverberating
             in vermilion s t i l l n e s s…

    You will always be the 
            clementine crown of my sun,
              the scarlet scrapes in my ink, 
zested in zealous dahlias 
     and no rain can drown 
                  this celestial 
                         c o l l a b o r a t i o n…..

Your poem weaves an exquisite plethora of emotions, painting celestial vistas with words that pirouette delicately through the reader's mind, leaving footprints of poignant memories enveloped by the delicate fingers of the winter moon.

Tonye George December 12, 2023 at 6:49 AM "Gallery of my melancholic mind where soulless shadows still" too many meaningful expression from just a sentence. I love it. "Delicate fingers of the winter moon stretches" another favourite line. I love how you perceive the moon as subtle. Lovely written, Ink.

Vijay Pandit December 12, 2023 at 5:50 AM Yet another example of your poetic prowess, Ink. I like how you weaved your thoughts without breaking the tenor of such a long poem. Splendid vocabulary, as always.

Hiya Sharma December 12, 2023 at 4:35 AM Awwn, this is a perfect paradise-poem which scintillates in pure brilliance of love.I truly love this abecedarian poem that shines with the brightest of imageries and I can envision an artistic masterpiece being carved from the hues of your poetic lines.The use of colours, metaphors, alliteration and adjectives, ahh everything aids to the impeccable flow of this piece, my dear Ink! I absolutely love these parts "glistening jewels of snow cascade","Choreographed from porcelain keys of your heart" Hiya Sharma December 12, 2023 at 4:38 AM "Delicate fingers of the winter moon stretches", "should I rescript your promises in psychedelic ink?", "Maybe, it is from pain we relearn to dream in periwinkle pigments, Nurture and navigate through decayed gardens embalmed" Gosh, these lines convey so much depth.. That true love has to pass through many pains as well and it's a process of healing & learning.. "sunflower silence", "You will always be the clementine crown of my sun, the scarlet scrapes in my ink, Zested in zealous dahlias and no rain can drown this celestial collaboration" That ending is adorable!!! I loveee this, best of luck to you for the contest, this is a FAV :)
