Colorful

I’m singing in colors of champagne sapphire curating mauve rhymes from orchid twilight, as bleached butterflies bloom and soar higher, candles of love rekindle through moonlight. Polychromatic phosphenes burn so bright. Twin flames of technicolor fiesta, paint dusky horizons from stellar heights when blood rose within lies in siesta. Aureolin strokes of firm faith transpire, thawing blue icicles on frosty thorns Tossing pastel petals dipped in despair. Yet, stars above the raven valley mourn, sprinkling pixie dust upon mellow horns, Hoping someday there'll be no unseen tears Pushing soulmates to the pyre in forlorn. We rewrite neon swan-songs with no fears Perhaps, black is the synonym of love, woven to the silver wings of midnight.

Inky, this is a rainbow on steroids! It is as enchanting as a double rainbow "fiesta!" Wonderful, fresh phrases going from a soaring "fiesta" to blackness that absorbs all light. Wonderfully woven lines and images that convey the emotional punch of your poem. Best wishes for the contest! Blessings to you!

The queen of poetic colors and textures. Most people view red as the color of love (or lust), but you may just be right, black as the starlit night sounds awfully romantic

Oh my dearest Ink, this write is a piece of marvel from your magical heart, I'm definitely cherishing all the colour references and artistic tones that you've hued from your majestic brush-quill.. The concept of dreaming wholeheartedly about the magic of love, but the blood-rose taking a twirl and everything turns sombre sigh.. The emotions are very palpable inspire of being sequined with such gorgeous imageries.. Your rhymes are ever so incredible and provide a mellifluous rhythm to this, wow!
