Heart Of Ice Premiere Contest Winner


"Timeless trust,
   trapped in Selene's pendant,
                   pulsates purity and faith 
           across cosmic threads,
                       when furry hues tiptoe,
                upon freezing auroras
          and saplings of healing,
                       surrender their silence
                                     to aging darkness..."

As ebony dew
ensnares beyond
roseate rains
and drizzles like
honey in dandelion
mists, sprinkling haze,
across those
spruce tributaries of
pristine pines,
I crawl with a
cape of snow,
beneath pearly
phases of precipice,
in the satin
embrace of the 
'Winter Queen'.
Playing with 
weeds and thorns, 
my wanderlust 
amidst intuitions, 
clasps hope 
beyond these
fickling echoes 
of misty hourglass.

During this 
solstice, 
I ride upon my
diamond broomstick, 
surfing across
oceanic horizons, 
and hiding 
beneath those 
creamy folds of
chiffon clouds, 
that curtain 
fated conclusions 
of my cynical 
confusions.

Destiny has 
forever whirled
fortune in an 
unfathomable 
wheel of 
mysterious
merry-go-rounds, 
wherein, sterling 
faith streaks 
lightning, brewing 
solar storms 
in the cauldron 
of life and I 
whisper those
polar hymns 
of fragranced fog,
splattered as 
blue lipstick 
stains along 
slaty dawns.

Slaying galactic 
goblins with my 
sword of icicles, 
I have knitted 
elegant eclipses, 
from the avalanche 
of hydrangea ashes, 
flowing across 
estuaries of wine 
tulips towards 
those gothic vaults, 
that bleed in 
white chocolate
hurricanes of 
hunted heartbeats.

Maybe, 
I'm a forsaken prayer, 
that escapes
humble lips and
melts upon
hateful hailstones,
strolling in brisks, 
slumbering within
bohemian valleys, 
that veil their 
essence in 
insightful 
vanilla rays.
Or perhaps, I'm 
a silent tear, 
oozing from 
soft crackles 
within this haunted
'Heart of Ice',
throbbing with 
solemn sagas
in the arctic breaths 
of Himalayan lilies.
 
As I cradle
seas of skies
in my palms and
stretch my fingers,
dipped in golden
warmth of the
hibernated sun,
invisible to my
naive eyes,
I ponder, will 
this frost-flake
evermore unfurl 
as an elite ode 
of dark fantasy? 
Can the aching 
of my infernal skin, 
ever be soothed
by inhaling those 
myrrh scents
of the first spring?

So, when the
'Goddess of Spirit' sighs,
in an oath knitted 
upon oaks of
glacial infatuation,
my frozen nirvana quivers,
and I seek to
steal solace,
that shall baptise my 
bronze conscience,
with the star-spun 
aura of divinity.

I am spell bound....! Don't know how to respond to this avalanche of words flowing down from your quill. As it glides down flooding our minds we are swept off by the torrential power of your words. When I struggle to place word upon word to build one simple image, from your poem images cascade down. Enjoyed your journey through icy terrains impelled by your wander lust. Within this brief time, how did you garner so much vocabulary? "I ride upon my diamond broomstick, surfing across oceanic horizons, and hiding beneath those creamy folds of chiffon clouds, that curtain fated conclusions of my cynical confusions"..... Hiya, I am in awe of your poetic prowess. You don't deserve merely a trophy, but greater laurels of international recognition. You are an asset !

Hiya, awesome poem, well deserving top prize and a trophy to adorn your poem. I am from Malta and cannot send you money, otherwise I would have composed you a lifetime premium member. There seems too be no one to help. I cannot send money from Malta.

Sometimes when I read your poem, I do not know if its your or Ink, so similar in style and format of poems.. An ethereal journey through the interplay of cosmic forces and the delicate dance of nature. The author's command of language creates a vivid tapestry of imagery, from the 'Winter Queen' and her satin embrace to the diamond broomstick surfing across oceanic horizons..The metaphors are rich and evocative, painting scenes that linger in the mind like delicate strokes of a brush on a canvas.

This poem seems to show a queen who cannot emote but does do through empathy. It is a wonderful visual description. By the way, do you happen to know where I can get one of those diamond broomsticks? Thank you for this read.

Ah where do i start praising this beauty! I absolutely love how you turned this into a carnival of cosmically pleasing metaphors that shimmer in freezing hues of auroras with footprints of furry beings that hibernate during winter. I love your title and so many lines in this makes this a very pretty poem to read. Especially your use of adjectives and how you’ve expressed in a strong manner that depicts winter as an emotion in a personified rhythm. You’ve left me in awe really! And i must say-

I especially loved the lines “ fragranced fog,splattered as blue lipstick stains along slaty dawns.” Your use of lipstick there is so clever! And so artistic! “ I ponder, will this frost-flake evermore unfurl as an elite ode of dark fantasy? “ what a way to ponder, so poetically eloquent! “ glacial infatuation, my frozen nirvana quivers, and I seek to steal solace,“ clever diction really through and through! Nailed it as always! Best wishes for the contest , m sure this will do well
