Love is the water of life. Drink it down with heart and soul. - Rumi
I remember the nights I swiftly swerved oceanic songs with olive shells on sandy shores, looking for a hint of teal droplets within softened corners of the milky way. Perhaps the mulberry moon felt our soulful dreams, as cerulean sky sighed a thousand stars in celestial symphony for “you” and “I”. Tonight pearlescent heavens shall heed my beating veins erupting in amethyst abundance, for I’ve been homesick for a selfless heart that I can belong; pining to rest my dahlia desires upon the silver aisle of your warm chest, to hear the rhythm of my name echoing through poetic petals of your lyrical lips. So pardon the thousand horizons that keep us apart, we sync and swirl to the same roseate ripples~ within the opulent bed of bioluminescence. I find our orchid visions amongst cornflower clouds I can nearly touch, trusting the seraphic light we wear, locked in this empyrean embrace, and we’ll conquer every mighty meteor, striving to paint this tuscan tale into reality, while love is all that we sow and lean on, forever enclasped in an eternal endearment.

This poem felt like starlight reflected in tear tracks and happy smiles. Imagery so beautiful, it took my breath away, especially "pining to rest my dahlia desires upon the silver aisle of your warm chest." Magnificient. The most deserved win. Consider me a fan.

I miss reading your work, my dear Ink. You just have your way of heavenly arrangements of words and metaphors. It's not always easy to see people willing to hold on or fight despite the distance and hurdles. "for I’ve been homesick for a selfless heart that I can belong." Something we can't wait to find and have forever. "pining to rest my dahlia desires upon the silver aisle of your warm chest, to hear the rhythm of my name echoing through poetic petals of your lyrical lips." I can imagine.

Dear Ink, I hope you're doing well. Your poetry is truly exceptional, evocative, and exquisite. I am amazed at how effortlessly you are able to connect everything in such a seamless way. In your writing, you have skillfully encapsulated the true essence and awe-inspiring nature of love. By incorporating various imagery, such as "dahlia desires, roseate ripples, amethyst abundance, and empyrean embrace," among others, you can create a captivating visual experience. These poems are remarkably rhymed. This beautiful couple's sole reliance is love. Their greatest desire is to be embraced in forever love.

Your poem beautifully evokes a sense of longing and celestial connection. The imagery of searching for "teal droplets within softened corners of the milky way" and the "cerulean sky sighing a thousand stars" paints a vivid picture of the yearning for a deep and meaningful connection. The metaphor of the "mulberry moon" and "pearlescent heavens" adds a layer of enchantment to the longing expressed in the poem, as does the desire to rest "dahlia desires upon the silver aisle of your warm chest." The mention of "a selfless heart that I can belong" encapsulates the essence of seeking solace and belonging in love, while the imagery of "orchid visions amongst cornflower clouds" suggests a transcendent and ethereal quality to the connection being sought. Overall, your poem beautifully captures the essence of yearning, longing, and the hope for a deep and enduring connection, expressed through celestial imagery and heartfelt emotion.... I loved the heterogenous images also..

Your poems are ever a pleasure to read with the heterogenous images you weave and combine.... like 'dahlia desires, roseate ripples, amethyst abundance, empyrean embrace' et al. They are beautifully alliterative too. Love is all that this lovely pair wish to lean on. They desire with all their heart to be clasped in an eternal endearment.Into my FAVE.
