I Envy the Stars

 I envy~
champagne stars,
sparkling gold.

Cascading as
Cupid's arrow, 
to steal quartz rays,
of the rose moon. 

Like love-struck eyes in~
awe of Lunar wings,
unaware of how, 
you mirror my soul;
cosmically tied.

Dear Inky, this seems like a 'Hands off' poem.. The vivid imagery of champagne stars' and 'sparkling gold' creates a mesmerizing visual landscape, drawing readers into the celestial beauty of the scene.. The use of 'Cupid's arrow' and 'rose moon' adds a layer of symbolism, transforming the celestial elements into symbols of love and passion..

Awwn your comments are more poetic than my poem itself, this poem may sound beautiful but its actually a bit of a depiction of “ jealous” the song by labyrinth .. stars do not realise how tied the moon and i are, “ champagne cus they are deluded thinking they can take my place with the moon.. ah. Just a little explanation appreciate you always silentish

You always like to twist your poems, taking a darker theme but skilfully weave elements of nature, like 'quartz rays' and 'Lunar wings,' creating a seamless connection between the cosmic and earthly realms.. The rhythmic flow of the poem, enhanced by phrases like 'Cascading as' and 'Like love-struck eyes,' contributes to the musicality, making it a joy to read aloud...

What a delicately spun song of romance... dear Empress. I am sure this is for Joseph May's contest. With this brilliant poem, you have confirmed a first place. The sparkling rays of champagne stars cascading as cupid's arrow.... what wonderful imagination! Indeed love struck !

Dearest Inky, your gentle artistry of romance shines like "champagne stars!" What a wonderful analogy of stars that sparkle like champagne bubbles. So many images filled with the delight of love on "Lunar wings" in moonlight. I love the way you expanded the lines in each verse to illustrate the rising tide of romance! This is as delicate as moonbeams and as eloquent as stardust, dear friend! Blessings of sparkling stars to you! Thank you for yet another moment of poetic bliss.

Ink Empress, you've captured celestial longing in a single, radiant breath. Your words dance between envy and admiration, painting the stars as gilded companions to the heart's desires. That final, achingly beautiful twist - "cosmically tied" - leaves me mesmerized, adrift in the endless wonder of shared souls beneath the moonlit vastness. Thank you for these ethereal words; they echo beyond the earthly plane. - Blessings, Daniel

December 21, 2023 at 9:35 AM

Awwn thank you

December 20, 2023 at 6:18 AM

Oh my, this is such a profound and breathtaking poem with such a unique idea where those champagne stars try to steal the charisma of rose moon, but they are unaware of the fact that no one can actually replicate the glamorous elegance of the moon..She spreads her lunar wings and radiates gorgeousness of healing upon the aching hearts..Your words are like pristine jewels, shining with utmost brilliance in this lovely poem. I somewhat find it very alluring to read, just heavenly this is, dear Ink

December 21, 2023 at 9:37 AM

Awwwn thank you so much for your generous and kind support truly appreciate always how deep you go to comprehend the depths of wat I convey… pls listen to the song “ jealous by labyrinth” it is what this poem is about too in many ways. Appreciate you always

December 20, 2023 at 6:22 AM

I love the impeccable flow here which flows with elegance and expressing your feelings in such a unique way.. "champagne stars", "Cascading as Cupid's arrow", "steal quartz rays, of the rose moon" And that ending stanza.. This is absolutely a FAV for me, dear Fairy Goddess, you weave bejeweled phrases with your magical wand, always! :)
