When tangerine tinted tunes within sunset serenades~ unravel saffron symphonies, engrossed in hibiscus hymns of hallelujah~ I swirl to radiant rays of sakura stardust, where mystical monologues of silent angels~ caress my sleepless canvas in riveting rhythm, for I see caramelized cotton-candy within charismatic creations of God, as I gaze beyond the paradisiacal horizon, where divine deities draw daphne dreamcatchers, with peacock feathers in hues of twinkling teal. It is in sandalwood stillness, I attain zestful zeal, etched in clandestine clairvoyance, while truth twirls through turquoise tranquility, designed by the wisteria warmth of an altruistic architect… as drowsy dragonflies flutter, mesmerized by the gospel revelations, scattered across soft sands of scintillating souvenirs. Now I search for an immortal metaphor~ to depict celestial chandeliers, hanging in ivory beads of purified pearls, drizzling glistening threads of grace, upon fluorescent fields that flourish in pigments of poetic scriptures. I ponder, will fragmented fears, steal the halcyon halo of lotus moon within my heart, allowing darkness to consume this enlightened silhouette? Perhaps, It is when heavy skies rain~ flickering stones of faith, cracked jewels across the cerulean would find their way upon luminous lakes ferrying timeless tulips, beyond breathless ripples, pushing streaming beams of sapphires, into an inescapable abyss of emptiness.. What if I chose to weave blissful ballads with butterfly ink, would egoistic eyes, roaming across porcelain pages of peace, feel the ethereal breeze, echoing serenity in sanguine sanctity? will I then, be the voice that unfolds the spiritual features of seraphic spheres, for I am drenched in sublime seas of transcendent testaments~ seeking salvation through crooning compassion, where lilies of eternal love and thornless roses bloom, facing fragrant sparks of hyacinth humility veiled in vermilion virtues, as I’ve heard soothing seashell songs, echoing from elysian castle~ amidst sinister storms. I’ve seen a winged odyssey sailing across skies of sunflowers, reflecting reassuring rainbows in russet redolence, beneath crimson clouds of chaos. I’ve felt the glimmers of twilight halo, flaring in invisible iridescence, cloaking shallow shadows of faded frangipanis.

Some questions are beautiful, and may not have answers too. You express yourself too well and I feel it every time. "sparks of hyacinth humility veiled in vermilion virtues." Love the alliteration. "where mystical monologues of silent angels~caress my sleepless canvas in riveting rhythm." The deep thoughts on these metaphors leave me speechless. Great write dear Ink. Such evocative words.

Awwn thts too kind of you to say dear sweet rose, you are a much experienced beautiful poet and writer and soul! I appreciate your support always.

I must say this is one of your best among the best. How the grace once received is nulled and eclipsed by fears and doubts. You come to the realization that compassion and humility can restore the lost grace. "I search for an immortal metaphor~to depict celestial chandeliers, hanging in ivory beads of purified pearls, drizzling glistening threads of grace, upon fields that flourish in colors of poetic scriptures." The way you describe the euphoric state when God resides within and your continued search for that divine force, I can so well relate. I love the way you have described how the culmination of your search has ended. "seeking salvation through compassion, where lilies of eternal love and thornless roses bloom, facing fragrant sparks of humility veiled in vermilion virtues" Wow , so fantastic! This poem of an inward journey of quest after God has no equal. Into my Fav, dear Empress!

Dear Empress, your poems always take me on a mesmerizing journey and this is no different which takes me through the realms of spirituality and introspection. The imagery you've crafted is most evocative of divine beauty and deep reflection. I just loved your exploration of fear and doubt amidst the search for enlightenment which adds so much depth and authenticity to the piece. Dear Empress this is deeply moving and thought-provoking work. A Fav! - Blessings Daniel

Your poem radiated energy from your exemplary images...always so captivating and beautiful. Your ability to create such images alliteratively is an art...never known anyone else that could do so. (engrossed in crystalline clairvoyance, while truth twirls through turquoise tranquility, Repeating the line of inquiry at the end reinforced the previous lines for the reader. A masterpiece, dear Ink. Best wishes with the contest, hugs, Sara

As always a very metaphorical and imaginative take on a contest.. You have a vivid imagination dear poet.. It is a breath taking journey through the realms of the divine and the human experience. The vivid imagery and lyrical language transport the reader to a world where sunset serenades and mystical wings coalesce into a symphony of celestial beauty.. I feel it a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of faith and compassion.
