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.

Good Morning Miss Empress. Wow and wow again. This entry is poetry in the truest fashion. Read back your own execution and words and you will see. For those who do not read what a dark world they must live in. Everything speaks and reads poetry before us and all elements are attached including the emotive factor. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetic skill. Have a beautiful morning and day. Peace Light and Blessings always. (smile)

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...

Ah thank you tomsxy, i appreciate your support for my individual voice. Insta is fine but i find insta cringey. Cus nowadays its not like befo,, more about chasing followers and likes and also more than poetry some love posting nudity which still stays intact, unlike my page which got removed for .. so i can rant about insta. I love soup cus soup is about poetry and it is poetry i love…

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

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
