When tangerine tinted tunes 
within 
  sunset serenades~
 unravel saffron symphonies,
  engrossed in 
  hibiscus hymns of hallelujah~
I swirl to radiant rays of 
  sakura stardust,
where mystical monologues 
of silent angels~
caress my sleepless canvas
  in riveting rhythm,
for I see caramelized 
cotton-candy within 
charismatic creations of God, 
  as I gaze beyond
 the paradisiacal horizon,
where divine deities draw 
daphne dreamcatchers,
with peacock feathers in 
   hues of twinkling teal.

It is in sandalwood stillness, 
  I attain zestful zeal,
etched in 
clandestine clairvoyance,
while truth twirls through
   turquoise tranquility,
designed by the 
wisteria warmth
    of an altruistic architect…
as drowsy dragonflies 
flutter,
 mesmerized by 
  the gospel revelations,
scattered across soft sands
  of scintillating souvenirs.
Now I search for an 
immortal metaphor~
 to depict
celestial chandeliers,
hanging in ivory 
  beads of purified pearls,
 drizzling glistening 
   threads of grace,
upon fluorescent fields
that flourish 
in pigments of poetic scriptures. 

I ponder,
will fragmented fears,
steal the halcyon halo
of lotus moon 
 within my heart, 
  allowing darkness 
to consume 
     this enlightened silhouette? 
Perhaps, It is when 
heavy skies rain~
 flickering stones of faith,
 cracked jewels 
across the cerulean
 would find their way upon
   luminous lakes 
ferrying timeless tulips,
beyond breathless ripples,
  pushing streaming 
beams of sapphires,
  into an inescapable 
     abyss of emptiness.. 

What if I chose to 
weave blissful ballads
 with butterfly ink,
 would egoistic eyes,
roaming across porcelain 
pages of peace,
 feel the ethereal breeze,
echoing serenity 
   in sanguine sanctity? 
will I then, be 
the voice that unfolds
 the spiritual features 
of seraphic spheres, 
for I am drenched in sublime 
seas of transcendent testaments~
  seeking salvation 
through crooning compassion,
where lilies of
eternal love and 
  thornless roses bloom,
facing fragrant 
sparks of hyacinth humility 
   veiled in vermilion virtues,
as I’ve heard 
soothing 
  seashell songs,
echoing from elysian castle~
  amidst 
   sinister storms.
I’ve seen 
a winged odyssey
sailing across skies 
of sunflowers,
  reflecting reassuring rainbows 
in russet redolence,
beneath 
  crimson clouds of chaos.
I’ve felt the 
   glimmers of twilight halo,
  flaring in invisible iridescence,
  cloaking shallow shadows of 
      faded frangipanis.

Some questions are beautiful, and may not have answers too. You express yourself too well and I feel it every time. "sparks of hyacinth humility veiled in vermilion virtues." Love the alliteration. "where mystical monologues of silent angels~caress my sleepless canvas in riveting rhythm." The deep thoughts on these metaphors leave me speechless. Great write dear Ink. Such evocative words.

Awwn thts too kind of you to say dear sweet rose, you are a much experienced beautiful poet and writer and soul! I appreciate your support always.

I must say this is one of your best among the best. How the grace once received is nulled and eclipsed by fears and doubts. You come to the realization that compassion and humility can restore the lost grace. "I search for an immortal metaphor~to depict celestial chandeliers, hanging in ivory beads of purified pearls, drizzling glistening threads of grace, upon fields that flourish in colors of poetic scriptures." The way you describe the euphoric state when God resides within and your continued search for that divine force, I can so well relate. I love the way you have described how the culmination of your search has ended. "seeking salvation through compassion, where lilies of eternal love and thornless roses bloom, facing fragrant sparks of humility veiled in vermilion virtues" Wow , so fantastic! This poem of an inward journey of quest after God has no equal. Into my Fav, dear Empress!

Dear Empress, your poems always take me on a mesmerizing journey and this is no different which takes me through the realms of spirituality and introspection. The imagery you've crafted is most evocative of divine beauty and deep reflection. I just loved your exploration of fear and doubt amidst the search for enlightenment which adds so much depth and authenticity to the piece. Dear Empress this is deeply moving and thought-provoking work. A Fav! - Blessings Daniel

As always a very metaphorical and imaginative take on a contest.. You have a vivid imagination dear poet.. It is a breath taking journey through the realms of the divine and the human experience. The vivid imagery and lyrical language transport the reader to a world where sunset serenades and mystical wings coalesce into a symphony of celestial beauty.. I feel it a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of faith and compassion.
