Happy Birthday Ink Empress


Dear poetry soup family, today is a very special day as we celebrate the birthday of a new year star ~ my lovely, Ink Empress. She is one of the kindest, compassionate and purest soul I've met in my life... thank you for supporting everyone so selflessly, ink... this angelic heart is full of admiration and adoration for her fairy goddess! Keep being yourself, as the best version, that you are! 


As I dream, 
of the ticking fireworks
of new year ~ 
I see your face 
drifting through
capricorn constellations ~ 
etched along the fragrances 
of rose diamond fireflies... 

If the jasmine sun forgets to rise
above mosaic mountains 
and no longer spreads
 its crystalline clusters 
of clemency, 
you will be 
the morning twinkle, 
emerging from the
invisible ink 
of molten emeralds, 
towards sea glass skies ~ 
unfurling a furry dawn 
upon fields of lonely lavenders. 
For, those aquamarine auroras 
entrapped in the 
velvet whiskey marmoris, 
cannot restrain you 
from ricocheting
beyond remorseful reefs 
and hide those caverns 
of cerise-gold orchards ~
where you blossom 
in the lakes of seven lilacs.

You're more than a mistress 
bleeding misplaced metaphors, 
a shape of sorcery ~ 
sculpted in the silhouette
of unshakable courage, 
as your marrow 
is embellished with 
symbols of swarovski stardust ~ 
pulsating a pastel promise, 
that sprouts as the first 
honeysuckle harmony, 
of sincere serenity. 

You're the only russet ray 
of a cathartic harp ~ 
r e l e a s i n g 
ancient heartbeats in a halo, 
dusted with faith sparkles 
in a pistachio flame 
of evergreen empathy ~ 
which can mute 
the murkiness of 
a million metallic minds. 

Resting upon a celadon leaf, 
blanketed in fairyfloss ~ 
the nymph of love 
breathing in you, 
has paved its own path 
to the moon-pearled pedestal 
of psychedelic meraki, 
through those storms 
which once swirled 
with Selene tears, 
within your titanium intuitions. 

Choreographing
celestial symphonies
in an interstellar rhythm 
of calligraphic memories ~ 
you will always remain 
a guardian angel 
for this flawed flower, 
anchoring my petals 
and healing my heart, 
through cathartic clues 
of orchid wizardry, 
as wearing a turquoise cape, 
and crowned with seashells, 
tracing the ocean octaves
of periwinkle catharsis, 
you are an empress ~
weaved from the 
mermaid sunsets
of silver-mint lights...

Hiya, a wonderful ode to your guardian angel. The praise you bestow flows like honey which sweetens the entire landscape. What a gracious and giving thing to do. It fills me with happiness and awe to see how kind we can be toward each other. It's a miraculous use of language that comes from the heart! Smiles!

What a wonderful tribute to one brilliant star by an equally luminous star...! Indeed you both make the Gemini constellation! I see both of you as identical twins of poesy with your style flowing in tandem. Let me now wish a belated birthday to dear empress, who is out to appreciate each one of us in Poetry Soup. I too have great regard for Empress and am ready to ratify every word of praise you have bestowed on her. She is so gifted, besides being kind, compassionate and loving. Hiya, I so much enjoyed your poem which flows instinctively from a sincere heart. I cannot say who is more honored through this poem- you or empress! Dear little sister, happy to see you back.

Your way with metaphors and alliterations are always impressive and they speak to my heart and soul so dearly! You are such a gem!
