written for the Glenn Hughes contest sponsored by Robert James L, 

I chose the song " from another world" listen to it.. if you havent yet... Its beautiful 

When the moon unwraps electric rays, reflecting honey-gold roses from Freyja’s chariot, emanating spellbinding jewels merging with magical dreamcatchers, I see the scatterings of fairy forests~ veiled with archaic, rusted runes, lost in the tunes of forgotten time, while this heart hears the kaleidoscopic supernovas’ serenade~ silent songs of my faded skyline, to the galactic gardenias engraved with graceful longing… “O beloved breeze cover my aching silhouette with crème brûlée crystals, caramelized with clemency. Here in the midst of darkness amethysts glide amongst lunar-kissed pages of twin souls~ unraveling a poetic canopy of pillow-shaped clouds, interlaced with everlasting elixirs. For I stretch my fingers to caress the air that whirls above my cinnamon skin, oblivious to the distance between my glistening ink and your platinum paper, as sacred springs flow in sync to the cosmic rivers of immortal romance, from a different era, adorned with saffron synonyms, where love is a lake, healing all the bruises~ once caused by the brutal battles from the sinister sun, burning fragile flowers swaying in seclusion…” Now I refuse to rewind to the poison that blemished~ pining peonies in my once-written paradise, and I refuse to waltz back through the same searing storms that caged my spirit… I wish I were the dove hovering above the final dahlia in your midnight garden, blooming beneath the wind that witnessed how I lost my sanity, when life trapped me in trials of fears, unspoken and unheard. Tonight I call the raven’s wing to sprinkle ashes of deceased demons, and ignite a copper lantern that soars across the~ sea of swinging sapphires, while angels listen to the tears that tore my titanium psyche. Yet I will move another mountain, catch another fallen citrine, breathe amidst the toxic turbulences. Maybe I just want to feel the urge of an unbreakable devotion. I want to hear the whispers cruising~ across oceans of peacock pearls, as I am not the woman with green eyes, coiled in serpentine lies, nor am I an angel, wearing a hyacinth halo. I am just a wanderer worshiping love, like a stolen Valentine, from another world, another Universe, only in the blackness of splitting seconds would these words be my armor.

Dear Ink, I enjoyed reading your contest poem, although I've never heard any Glenn Hughes songs, my favourite artist was John Lennon who I met a couple of times in London.

Dear sweet Empress, what a powerful write where you reiterate your firm resolve not to be caged any more. In your 'faded skyline and aching silhouette, I see a lake of love flowing down healing all the bruises. As far as you refuse to waltz back to the searing storms, there is enough strength left in you to move mountains. I particularly love the way you have assessed yourself......."I am not the woman with green eyes, coiled in serpentine lies, nor am I an angel, wearing a hyacinth halo. I am just a wanderer worshiping love, like a stolen Valentine,.... " This journey to self discovery is at once daring, thrilling and challenging! Into my Fave. I had lost my elder sister and was not in a mood for anything. So took two weeks off from poetry.

Dear Empress, I was pleased to read this poem today and to find the core message is transformation and resilience. We are all on an adventure, and you eloquently portray a journey from pain and isolation to self-acceptance and a renewed capacity for love. I know it is a great poem when I see it affirms the power of love and self-discovery as forces for healing and growth, even in the face of profound challenges. I know that God is personally in control, and we are not. You have touched my soul today with your words. Empress this is a stellar poem at all FAV levels! - Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

My dear friend Inky, this is so 'otherworld' I guess this should put you up there for the contest. It drips with sweet romantic sentiment, longing and dare I say sensuality. All wrapped in delicious crème brûlée, sweet spices and floral fragrances. I enjoyed your write. a FAVE for me. Love and Hugs - Maria

"I see the scatterings of fairy forests~ veiled with archaic, rusted runes, lost in the tunes of forgotten time," -- deep and lovely imagery. "as I am not the woman with green eyes, coiled in serpentine lies, nor am I an angel, wearing a hyacinth halo. I am just a wanderer worshiping love," Very beautiful and pure. Essence of love.

WOW!!! What a lovely write with a great ending. You sure know how to write them. It is a winner for me. Your line, "with crème brûlée crystals" made me think about the dish. Don't laugh, I love this dish but I take the crystal/sugar top off.  "Good Luck" Have a great/blessed ~ day/weekend writing away...............

My gosh, the depth of this outstanding piece is really whirling my soul in an immaculate halo of heart, where emotions have their own dialect of unique metaphors. I can't help but relate so much with these lines "as I am not the woman with green eyes, coiled in serpentine lies, nor am I an angel.. am just a wanderer worshiping love" So heart-stirring and moving this is, my dear Ink! It's so rare being able to still realise what love & light are after being subjected to infinite storms in life. But there are spirits who can't help but be an immortal source of empathy and coruscate with a deep flame that glows in the hope of finding peace and unconditional ardor one day. Very rightly said, we're mere vagabonds in this venture of finding the true essence! "where love is a lake,healing all the bruises'

Another beauty, dear Sweetie. Here is a line that really stood out for me, both its meaning and the alliteration: crème brûlée crystals, caramelized with clemency. (so yummy) I love how you ended this one. Endings are what make the poem, and you did this one great justice with your "wanderer worshiping love"

I love it. As I recall you won the last one. I suspect you very well might again. He asked me to contribute but honestly I'm not a Glenn Hughes fan. Ozzy with Black Sabbath and Ian Gillan with Deep Purple for me. Anyway, has nothing to do with your awesome poem. Thank you for gracing PS with your charming poetry
