Champagne Crescent

My pearl heart rests 
              in the chiffon sands 
of forsaken memories, 
             like an open oyster shell, 
engrossed in saffron-streaked 
             serenades, 
while embracing. shifting shades 
              of an 
           apricot-feathered sunset,
the sky sings for 
            your magnolia magic~ 
unraveling clapping
            rays of glittery pompoms
celebrating the 
    rising of champagne crescent. 
There, I find secret 
        keys to the golden 
 g a t e s of your soul.

I gaze beyond the 
        sparkling crest of 
        the honeyed horizon, 
as cantaloupe lines
        of waning gloaming~
slowly tip-toe 
        towards the 
        whistling waves,
ferrying Poseidon’s 
         souvenirs draped 
         in sapphire strings, 
like scattered 
        sea-shells singing 
            songs to rippling 
                 runes of cosmic love. 
And this poem shall remain 
                 within porcelain pages; 
mermaid memoir of 
                 a mystical romance untold.

Your metaphors and their usage are gorgeous. "chiffon sand of forsaken memories, apricot feathered sunset, rippling runes of cosmic love"..... wow, wonderful. You have escorted us to a magical land of beauty and enchantment. The concluding lines, "And this poem shall remain within porcelain pages; mermaid memoir of a mystical romance untold." It surely gives a hint of a romance, you wish to keep a secret. Like most of your other poems, this too is an emotional journey into the hidden coves of the mind and the emotions that sprout there.

Dearest Ink Empress, What a captivating poem of color and emotion that reflects deeply within my core The scenes are breathtaking, from the "chiffon sands" to the "apricot-feathered sunset". Each verse evokes a sense of longing, beauty, and the bittersweet nature of unfulfilled love. The metaphor of the "pearl heart" resting in forsaken memories is especially interesting, suggesting a hidden treasure waiting to be unearthed. Your poetic words create a picture of a world both fantastical and deeply personal. IE, the poem feels like a secret shared, a glimpse into a hidden realm of emotion. I loved experiencing such an evocative and beautiful poem. - Blessings, Daniel

Dearest Inky, through all that you are experiencing you have written a "mermaid memoir" that is like a glistening pearl in all of the neon luster of the rainbow! Colors of "sapphire strings," "saffron streaked serenades," "cantaloupe lines." Your use of color makes you an artist extraordinaire. It is a remarkable hallmark that highlights your poetic finesse with words along with your use of alliteration to make your poems flow! Beautifully written. Simply amazing. Blessings dear friend!

Your poem, Dear Ink, is the exploration of a deep and mystical love, depicted through vivid and enchanting imagery. Your wording is so rich and evocative, using vivid and sensory imagery to create a dream-like atmosphere. Phrases such as "pearl heart," "saffron-streaked serenades," and "champagne crescent" paint a picture of beauty and romance. Always nice reading you sweet friend.
