Fading

"Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more, in the leafless root there is no less" - Ralph Waldo Emerson I'm a sunflower, dipped in honey of bittersweet bronze smiles, admiring its soulmate strolling around the sun, in sombre shine of eclipsed dawn, whilst these faes lure poisoned pollens with flaming ruby red ocean foams, And I see a peculiar patchwork on knitted canopies, which are sprouting clayey hearts out of crimson crooned willow branches. Crumbling to pixies, falling lifeless like fragile leaflets in autumnal carols, I believe, twin flame telepathy is a souvenir of roses and thorns, which emerges as wanton wildfire on the brim of ocean's moon-song in mellifluous mystery, outlining turmoil in turquoise land of trolls. For, magnetised feathers on matte lips always get soaked in ashey sighs of regret, whenever bewitching conspiracy of his amethyst eyes, befalls in dialects of forest's echoes and the brittle skin of basilisk slithers with a deadly gaze upon my mulberry heart. Chasing seasonal winds, I became the fading mist that succumbs to the sheath of amber rays, infusing in my lungs, and suffocating my love for life; Amidst these broken skies, you left shadows of pencil-sketched debris, that float like wisps of faulty daffodils, distorting my dreams and twisting thy truths, in hellfire horizon that sets our graves apart, beyond million miles of satanic soliloquies.

Hiya, your vocabulary is just amazing and you have a special ability for joining together disparate images and producing startling effects. I stand awestruck, blinded by your brilliance. "I became the fading mist, that succumbs to the sheath of amber rays". I feel, this you have said of me. Before your amber rays, I am the fading mist.

Creative lines you have penned in this imaginative work. Sunflowers are beauties that delight in the sun of each day. Their seeds are a delightful treat for birds. Thanks for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page. Sara

Dear friend Hiya, your poem is truly exquisite, filled with stunning visuals that dance in the play of light and darkness. The metaphors are like delicate flowers, carefully chosen adjectives and introspective language intricately woven into every line. It left me completely mesmerized, as I could feel the deep sadness and melancholy that flowed through the verses in a harmonious rhythm.

Goodness, that last stanza is quite dramatic. Hellfire horizons and satanic soliloquies. I like how she starts out as a sunflower. Maybe, after a bit, she'll face the sun once more and yet flourish
