Empress of Stars, Tableau

She's a citrine pearl
empress of patience
sprinkling lilac stars
and rosemary balm
upon silver scars
above moon-kissed seas



Tableau written for picture 3

A Pearl patiently glowing with an effloessence of creamy pulsing, She is perfect in her age of love, desire and time waking in Her palm, gentle as breath slow warm...J.A.B.

What amazing images, Inky! "Citrine pearl," "lilac stars," "rosemary balm," "silver scars." Truly the moon is patient slowly gracing the night like royalty! Your word pictures are elegant, rich in uniqueness and effortlessly flow from one line to the next. Like this elegant moon, thank you for gracing PS with your poetic talent! So wonderful to share the podium with you! Blessings!

Heartiest congratulations to you my dear Ink, on the magical win! You definitely deserved it and I'm so euphoric for you.. How elegant and splendid is this piece.. "She's s citrine peal" What a marvelous imagery and subtle metaphorical dialects here.. "Sprinkling lilac stars" Ahh, sprinkle some on my heart too, please! "Above moon-kissed seas" If the word 'ethereal' is defined in a unique way, I will give it the name of your poetries!

A beautiful very short piece but an image feast. "upon silver stars and moon-kissed seas" Yes, this made me wish it was about 200 verses my friend. A fav.. God bless.
