galactic garden

search for me when black are the stars of midnight for in every sunset I see your name in every moonlight you feel this restless flame poetically fading into rose-gold ruffles of riddled reflections~ a spectral mirage calming the singing thunder veiled beneath aching lungs struggling to breathe when the air feels like scorching sorrow infused with rusts of regrets gusts of gloomy garnets... yet this heart is a field of butterflies a fragranced ambience enhanced with empathy~ I forgive you for turning my muse into a galactic garden of grieving geraniums whilst you scroll through the soul of these s c a t t e r e d lines of unrequited love from a distance... perhaps these woeful words failed to reach beyond your bleeding sighs stuck in virtual pages reminiscing moments of magic as I stand on the frayed edge of porcelain frames, listening to turquoise tenors while whirling waves of memories caress wind-swept footprints of sundered soulmates~ and I long to be your dusk where wilted willows s p r o u t and s w i r l like emerald embers ...

IE, your poem indicates with accuracy and images just how difficult it is to move on from an attachment. Isn't it humbling that we can't have what we desire even though we do fervently feel we deserve it? I've been through this personally so I know what it's like and how it lasts and intrudes--like forever. It's a curse for those of us with passion. Hopefully, affected individuals can develop effective countermeasures! The person in this poem still has some work to do, and I wish all who are affected by this will get some celestial help! I pray for all of us in this condition because it is really painful and sorrowful...just like you've described!

Dear Empress! Always a masterpiece of emotions blended with stunning imagery. The "galactic garden" you’ve created is rich with longing, beauty, and heartbreak, evoking a universe of feelings in every line. I think your artistic words are truly mesmerizing, and the way you blend cosmic wonder with raw human emotion is breathtaking. Endless and awe-inspiring. - Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Forgiveness, longing, it's all in the lines and somewhere in between. Usually I like your endings best but in this case your opening is my fave. "Search for me when black are the stars of midnight..." So good
