A tribute to Ink Empress

I pledge homage to an amazing poetess~ she swaths a new path, a new broader path~to be emulated by each and every one she touches —I Am Anaya
Listen to poem:

Empyrean Collaboration With Tom Woody


Gossamer wings display angelic quality 
Empyrean dragonflies surround her
with ethereal ambiance
and with trailblazing elan
a bardess takes flight, 
stirring our muses to
greater heights

Poetic princess with a golden pen
her true beauty lies deep within
she's an empress of empathy
compassionate toward all
equinox moon goddess
glowing white bright,
bleeding ink

               ~Collaboration with Tom Woody

Anaya, nothing wrong at all to write about such a giving and marvelous character. Compassion is always great to give and also great to see it in action from others too. Perhaps there will be a compassion avalanche at some point in this strange world of ours. Sending you and Tom smiles!

This is a very thoughtful tribute and kind gesture, reading tributes like this makes me question, how worthy i am of such kindness. Im a mere scribbler of emotions, angst,Dear Anaya, youve used words I love here in the tribute, and the artwork looks a bit like me, did you find it on pinterest? And Tomsz, your mention of “ bleeding ink” i did notice, as it is my old username on instagram. The spoken must have been fun to generate? Lol it sounds so different!!! Thank you for all these kind words. So well written and delivered! Sending you both light always! And many thanks to everyone thats commenting on this. Im not as active here as i would like to be but know that these comments on this post are much appreciated! A surprise i didnt see coming! Thank you again

Dear Anaya and Tom, your collaboration is pure enchantment and a wonderful tribute to our Dear Empress. It shimmers with lightness and depth, like dragonfly wings in morning sun. I felt uplifted by your tribute to creativity and empathy, and the way you capture the magic of poetic spirit. Yes, words can glow, heal, and inspire us to reach higher. Your golden pens truly leave a luminous mark on the heart. Our Empress will love it. Spring Blessings, my Dear Anaya and Tom, Daniel

Voicemaker is so much fun, Robby I chose the American femme fatale, as practice. I loved her spunkiness and personality, glad you enjoyed. The real reason for the voicemaker is to add a [child's voice] to my "Momento On The MOon" poem for the [Gen Beta] The generation, which refers to individuals born between 2025 and 2039. Ty!
