Heartbeats in Heaven

Sometimes when moonlight weeps to sleep, I sit, draped in burning dreams, and beautiful nightmares of moments lost, engraved along the rising of blushing blossoms, within cerulean azure. But shadows fade, as clarity descends upon the ivory beach, adorned in pearls and palm leaves. I await for twilight to sing my heart to the milky-way. I stretch my fingers, to count glistening gems, that shower silver streaks upon my stranded silhouette. And I question the universe, in r i d d l e s and r h y m e s~ what flows within empty spaces between iridescent lines of stars? Would I find traces of footprints that left the face of this earth, where they thrive eternal crests in paradise? Maybe there’s rivulets of jewels with initials of angels residing in blissful musing, in hope-filled reveries, as the cosmic maestros, orchestrate peaceful notes with ethereal keys of faith, In a choir for celestial requiems, to heal the grieving mind that t i m e couldn’t mend. I saw it rained a rainbow with frozen memories through my glass window.. and I remembered how I’ve always felt closer to you in astral realms, whilst soaked in galactic light. So tonight, I whisper, prayers in poetic prose, hoping you’ll feel my tears, from the highest halcyon haven. Even death can never kill a dreamer, that bears memories, and relives them through classical sonatas. Maybe this is how a poet reminisces, heartbeats in h e a v e n…

Wow! Such a beautifully written poem. Your imagery is outstanding, subtly tied together for the theme you selected. I found "even death can never kill a dreamer" inspirational. The last four lines gave me pause. Actually your entire poem did. Just can't string enough words together to express how impressed I am. Sara

Great use of poetic techniques here.. I do like the opening line... I have seen your poetry develop over the last three years... you do wow me now... I can feel the angst in your words, the poem does touch upon sadness, but its got questions we all ask and want answers too.. I love that ending.... maybe thi is how a poet reminisces heartbeats in heaven... The alliteration is brilliant throughout, where did you learn that from? lol...

Oh my, dearest Ink! You've once again spun magic with your ethereal fingers and this masterpiece is going straight in my FAVs. The way you've described the vulnerable emotions about drowning in nostalgia, reminiscing those who left us alone on this earth to grieve for eternity.. Those who ascended to the heavens.. Sigh, such a meticulously crafted write that flows in vivid dimensions of enchanting imageries.. 'Heartbeats In Heaven' is the purest and the most beautiful form of Ethereal! Just wow

"what flows within empty spaces between iridescent lines of stars? Would I find traces of footprints that left the face of this earth", "cosmic maestros" The wordplay is beyond enchanting here, this sounds like hued with myriad harmonies of feelings, playing in sync with the Cosmos.. There are so many lines that I loved here.. Absolutely phenomenal, best of luck in the contest :)
