"L o v e lives in the archaic abyss of an endless ocean, where wind and waves rhyme with the blues in scented stillness" As echoes of the silent shore reveal secrets~ buried in the deep-blue spine of the creased, cold sea, I search for lyrical cues, dreaming on the lurid lips of a salt-kissed enigma, painted with bliss-strokes of sunset eyes. For sometimes, when time tricks euphoric twilight with greed, amidst the quiescence that hydrates this healing soul, I find myself drifting to a mythical valley of iridescent violets, floating like glistening jewels seized from the warm arms of skylines. As, kismet stars sprinkle golden tears upon pages that left me comfortably rhymeless, breathing in metaphors of memories lost in frozen mists, nestling within hushed songs of the mourning bluebirds… O beloved moon, swirl with me to a rosier phase~ perfumed with Aphrodite’s elegance, quenched with spring allure of Ades’ petals; reverie of timeless rivers streaming with heartbeats of twin flames, tied to an amethyst ambience, unraveling a cosmic connection veiled in vanilla orchids…and when the music of the ocean ricochets into xylophone chimes and nostalgic notes, you’ll remember me as your ballad, forever sealed in, zestful conch shells, until the sun no longer tastes my poetic pulse…

I love Acrostics and ABC forms. They are fun challenges. Shame X is such a limited letter (needs to get out and about more.) A great read, with wonderful imagery, as ever. A joy to read. Shine on, Ms. Ink Divine ... CayCay

It takes great skill just to write this form normally, but as always , you took it beyond with your imagery. I just loved the ending. How we conclude a poem is so important and you never disappoint.

Exquisite imagery. This poem reminds me of a delicate bride’s veil of rainbow colours. You weave words like a spider weaves a web : delicate yet strong. last lines are a beautiful ending to all the colours. When the music of the ocean ricochets into xylophone chimes & nostalgic notes ....Wow - could almost hear this from the ocean ...very inspiring, dear Inky xxx

Oh wowww!! This is such an ethereal and breathtaking abecedarian my dear Ink Empress!! The way you've exquisitely chosen words and crafted them together so seamlessly, creating a lyrical flow of emotions... ahh, my heart can't help but admire each line!! So many incredible phrases here which made me marvel at your poetic prowess, as always ~ "lurid lips of a salt-kissed enigma, painted with bliss-strokes of sunset eyes" My gosh, this is absolutely singing imagery!! "As, kismet stars sprinkle golden tears upon pages that left me comfortably rhymeless" So much depth in these lines... when one breathes metaphors, in the suffocating silence of rhymes... and yearns for a rosier phase of life, hued with peace... I absolutely loved this part from "O beloved moon.... perfumed with Aphrodite’s elegance, quenched with spring allure of Ades’ petals;... veiled in vanilla orchids"

And especially that last line really stole my heart!! "until the sun no longer tastes my poetic pulse…" This literally conveys everything so beautifully... Truly, a magnificent piece, dear fairy goddess!! One of my favourite abecedarians ive read!! Keep shining and writing always. Best wishes for the contest ~

"You'll remember me as your ballad, forever sealed in, zestful conch shells, until the sun no longer taste my pulse..." It would be such a pretty thing, to have the voice of your poetry hum through a conch shell Poetess...what a tickle that would be...J.A.B.
