A collaboration written with the Silent One in 2022. 
 

Love is like fragile wings.
romance an illusion of moonlight delusions.

I recall when summer skies hypnotised,
in the pleasure of your pleasing presence,
I used to gaze at the doves of love above,
admiring their delicate reflections in your eyes.

Revealing the tempress inside you,
our butterfly hearts used to flutter,
watching our shy shadows dance,
to the rhythm of brave waves of hope.

Tribulations of time led to a 
decay within our garden,
as poisoned poetic petals,
drowned in a wild river of roses.
Now we are like a 
destitute of wildflowers,
our souls resembling moths of shame.

There is a sadness in silence,
when there is confusion 
in communication.
Tongues remain oppressed 
in misunderstanding.
When candlelight caresses 
no longer feel the same,
as misplaced moments begin to untame. 
Songs of passion we sang for us, 
escape as anthems of selfish games.

Should we muster dry conversations?
Neglect our flower garden in this storm?

Within wilting vines where 
weeping willows hide,
it's a crime that the crying 
crescent moon mirrors our stolen hours.
Specks of cosmic dusts 
refuse to unravel silver spotted dreams,
when time becomes a nightmare 
ticking beneath electric fields of scarlet.

I've lost and found you in 
diversified seasons,
as winds of evanescence 
curl empty promises into pearly shells.
Every poetic phrase you’ve 
place in my borderline mind,
no longer hydrates this 
glassy oyster heart -
will I forever remain confined
within restrained walls?

Perhaps this is just another 
beginning of an ever-glowing end.
Painted in restless nights 
from subtle strokes,
of forgotten devotion felt 
like forbidden nostalgia,
beckoning monotonous forlorn 
silhouettes to depart.

The last star shines and 
bleeds broken hopes 
in dwindling wraiths
upon love gliding 
within trifling shadows.
For, sometimes feelings 
wane like ephemeral phases
of moon-bows that seize 
every lingering last light of life,
unveiling tides of change to 
wriggle into thin fogs of grey.

Yet your clarity is forever 
framed as timeless souvenirs,
designed as fine aesthetic 
art colouring me with affection.
Forgive me, but I will 
perpetually plant loyal seeds,
so our collaborations 
continue to blossom in fresh fragrances.

Your poem about the struggle between alienation and rationality in life, the internal conflicts that arise from it, and the search for harmony and understanding in a chaotic world. The word choice is rich and evocative, using imagery and metaphor to convey the emotions and experiences. You employ literary devices such as alliteration ("playing charades with the grim reaper"), and simile ("Harmony harbours in harvesting heirloom) to create vivid and emotive language. Great poem from 2 top poets

"I used to gaze at the doves of love above, admiring their delicate reflections in your eyes." There was such a time, but under different circumstances, a change has come over and love came to a decay. But the possibility of a regeneration can't be ruled out. "Perhaps this is just another beginning of an ever-glowing end." Let us hope so. "Forgive me, but I will perpetually plant loyal seeds, so our collaborations continue to blossom in fresh fragrances". Let us hope again that seeds will sprout ! A superb collaboration on love and romance. All the Best to both of you !

Gosh, my dear Ink and dear Silent One, what a magnificent collaboration you both have woven with such delicate details about love and how vivid instances can unfold with time.. Rainbows of healing can sometimes bleed into those emotions suppressed within past & silence can steal those moments of blossoming love.. Misunderstanding and lack of communication too, can unfurl sadness in many ways, leading confusion. So wisely and poetically you both have conveyed that here, your lines flow impeccably

Together, I couldn't guess who wrote which part.. Especially that opening really captivated my attention and I couldn't agree more! "Love is like fragile wings.romance an illusion of moonlight delusions", "as poisoned poetic petals, drowned in a wild river of roses", "I've lost and found you in diversified seasons" Ahh, sigh.. That somehow makes me emotional.. "For, sometimes feelings wane like ephemeral phases of moon-bows that seize every lingering last light of life.. wriggle into thin fogs of grey" So many artistically mesmerizing lines here & the depth is so heart-touching.. Absolutely loved reading this collab, you both write flawlessly together! Keep writing & shining always ~ sending best wishes :) a FAV
