Dangerous Glory

This Aphrodite rose slowly unfurls pink ombre balms of sun-kissed springfalls, as the luminous lake of tears cascade in exotic wreaths of honey-soaked velvety sepals, there succulent seeds of zestful dawns adorned our silken sheets across luscious meadows sprinkled with glistening cosmic dust. Yet neon streaks of longing unveiled; romanticized rainbows engrossed within fire opal clouds, awaiting to drizzle pleasing odes, amalgamated with drops of opium meant to reveal skeletons and secrets, sculptured as sultry souvenirs of seasonal streams. But ripples of reminiscences reflect how you and I weathered howling winds through unseelie storms of oppressed lovers, gliding in sync to the echoes of midnight screams, rising from sumptuous seas. So, tonight, as curtains fall in hues of dusky dews, cover me in sunrise when the bleeding heart, of blue-laced estuaries, rhymes with sangria vesper time, where tomorrow’s ocean ferries purge prose that never denies. Let fervent pearls pulverize my colossal tarp as the morning glows; I ponder, do mourning petals show, the folly of moonlit melancholy? For you’ve devoured the alluring depths of campfire stories, burning untouched edges within our twin souls, whilst cosmos trembled and sighed in poetic ecstasy ~ we seized our unsung melody… For this remains as an untold version of our dangerous glory~ etched on cupid’s amethyst arrow.

Right this minute no campfire would be able to be built nor would it burn because it is so wet. Thanks for sharing. I live in West Central Georgia USA. Sara K

Your poem is a masterful exploration of love's nuances, blending rich imagery, mythological references, and a deeply introspective tone. The use of metaphors and vivid language elevates the poem, making it a captivating journey through the complexities of love and connection.. he reference to Aphrodite's rose sets a romantic and mythical tone, immediately evoking themes of love and beauty. Descriptions of the rose unfurling in pink ombre balms conjures images of delicate and sensual blossoming.

It concludes with a reflection on their dangerous glory, etched on Cupid's amethyst arrow. This metaphorical image suggests a love story that is both captivating and perilous, a unique and untold version of their shared history... I thought I commented on this poem yesterday..

Got me the vapors from this, Ink Empress. I may have to go to confession. Haha, like I need any encouragement. Very silky flow, like a canvas with word dipped delicacy. I guess we do eat first with our eyes (mind). The choices of words in unison, aesthetically pleasing, because the (mind) is pleased with the associations. Now, to see a Priest about a thing. ;-)
