Ethereal Epiphany

When rainstorm shadows
cast raven woven blankets,
entangling between 
the boundaries of 
fantasy and reality's reach,
we search for soft glows
from serenades of slumber,
where we embrace
the quilt of night.

In restless dreams 
a dandelion soul yearns
to reside within the realms 
of conscious thought.
Traversing towards 
an enchanting valley 
where fields of lilacs 
and bluebells surround,
laying foundations 
for rows of charismatic 
cherry blossoms,
peacefully resting 
among a myriad 
of kaleidoscopic roses.

Above, azure horizons
reveal the naked sun,
whose radiance shimmers 
upon sapphire waters,
delicately blowing 
a refreshing breeze.
Lucid choral images 
illuminate the mind,
with visions of 
an ethereal epiphany -
too difficult to define.

Her heavenly muse 
echoes a majestic lullaby,
beckoning hallelujah hearts 
to oblige in beats of
unexplainable expressions,
so suppressed thoughts 
bleed in turquoise waterfalls.

Barren lands 
soak in reflection,
as distance decreases.
Eyes admire in 
a silent reverie.
Enticing two isolated 
soulful minds to 
chant in a chorus
of hummingbird hymns. 
An abundance of 
amorphous aromas 
enchant and enrapture,
as senses blaze into 
passionate provinces 
of aurora aspirations.
A ruby renaissance of 
rhapsodic romantic 
musings reverberate 
string less symphonies 
into the once, 
charcoal chambers of a
redeemed, fluorescent 
lyrical couplet core.

In ivory harmonies,
venturing upon a pearled path 
not known to lovers before,
beloveds search for 
a secret garden -
home to Michelangelo's 
cathedral of paradise,
yearning to savour its
celestial artistic ambience,
but upon the 
zenith of enticement,
unwelcome Lilith skies 
slyly and silently encroach.

Heaven recalls her
halo shaped silhouette,
as petals agitated 
by spiteful winds
fall into murky waters.
Feathers remain,
floating helplessly in
puddles of regret.

Smoke clears,
as clarity reveals
white concrete walls
with broken blinds. 
Nature's beams 
breathe a deep sigh.
How sad, 
time does not care
for our dreams.

"Nature's beams breathe a deep sigh. How sad, time does not care for our dreams." -- Lovely writing, Si. Time is just a thoughtless counter. Means nothing till we give its integers our living voice. With our poetic inflections, then Time has changed dimension and direction. Forward or back or the same is Historical Truth. May we speak and move wisely.

Wow where do i start praising this brilliant poem, I absolutely love the flow and depth and how you’ve woven words together in such an artistic manner. Theres so many lines that stood out for me especially, love your seamless alliterations and how you’ve painted imagery. Deeply moving and soul stirring. “ Her heavenly muse echoes a majestic lullaby, beckoning hallelujah hearts to oblige in beats of unexplainable expressions,“ this resonates with me so deeply right now. And its so ethereal-

This is just magical! Your use of colors metaphors and also flowers and diction here is truly impeccable! A fave this is for me! Loveee it
