Written for " if only you knew" contest sponsored by the silent one

Is there enough adjectives I can use, to sew these sensitive sensations to you, when my dandelion heart is dense with combustible phrases, and my sunken soul is weeping into the weariness of wildfires? They say beauty can never be found in the dark, oblivious to the vibrancy of neon nights~ streaks of fluorescent flares glaring above forests of flickering lights, there iridescent colors run through the skyline like vast vibratos, filling my lungs with iridescent phrases too enigmatic to roll of my tongue. Yet your flourishing name flows in flawless frequencies through this forsaken surface, and I wear these wings drenched in burning fresh-spring waters, glistening in immeasurable shades of opalescent feathers, as the majestic moon still graces my somber sky with all those stolen smiles I’ve left unseen, for I am but a floating spirit just above demonic halos that shine so deceptively, carrying my strength wreathed in fireflies fortifying my faceless complexion, where the only home to my name is beneath the stars in the wilderness of your ambrosial affection, whilst I keep sprinkling traces of what is now left in my empathy that has been pinioned~ to the grains of gratitude in gardenia love. If only you knew, without you, I’ll be trashed in turmoil, wrecked in disarray~ you are the poetic reason, I am an inked poem woven with an iron quill, rippling with amorous alliterations and magnolia metaphors, as the nightly creatures still lurk in the shadows of our twin-flame footprints, constantly trying to seize the alluring aurora that lessens the miles between my electric dusk and your honeysuckle dawn…

I think you will always find adjectives, you do it so naturally and poetically. The concluding lines powerfully encapsulate your dependence on their beloved: "If only you knew, without you, I’ll be trashed in turmoil, wrecked in disarray." The metaphor of being an "inked poem woven with an iron quill" signifies a deep-seated connection to the beloved, with "amorous alliterations and magnolia metaphors" symbolizing the enduring beauty and creativity inspired by this love. Congrts on 1st place

Dear Empress, with an unrivalled mastery of language you always write. The vibrancy and feelings your poems evoke cannot be expressed. Please forgive my inability to rate them or highlight them."If only you knew, without you, I’ll be trashed in turmoil, wrecked in disarray~ you are the poetic reason, I am an inked poem woven with an iron quill, rippling with amorous alliterations and magnolia metaphors,"..... I am lost in the beauty of your words and swept away in the torrent of passion you have let loose. This goes into my FAVE.

IE, somehow you manage to put what I think is the feeling of love into words. Pretty powerful stuff. It's remarkable. I think there is some unusual energy emanating from the Maldives that has no scientific explanation. We had a recent strong aurora borealis and magnetic storm, but it's a drop in the bucket compared with the energy you have stirred up.

Dear Inky, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! So much to admire here as always with your creative, vivid artistry on full display for all to be in awe of. Your use of all poetic devices fit you hand in glove dear one. ‘ above forests of flickering lights’ ‘ for I am but a floating spirit’ ‘ our twin- flame footprints’ and those last two lines beautifully expressing the distance is just gorgeous. Loved it! Looks like a winner to me too dear Inky but good luck anyway. Well done.

Your poem was an alliterative delight filled with emotional metaphors. I was drawn to these lines: "constantly trying to seize the alluring aurora that lessens the miles between my electric dusk and your honeysuckle dawn…" Best wishes with the contest, hugs, Sara

Wonderful lexical jewels resonate with a symphony of feelings, dear Ink, you set your painting ablaze with metaphors and emotional flames.You adorn yourself with these wings, which shimmer with an infinite variety of opalescent feather colors, and which are immersed in scalding spring waters. intricately crafted using an iron quill, dripping with allusions about love. Your words depict the transformative power of love, grace, and poetry. Like sunshine, your lyrical poetry banishes darkness and brings joy. Best wishes for the contest

Dearest Empress, I love the raw vulnerability and exquisite wordplay encapsulating the depths of a soul laid bare, desiring connection amidst the enigmatic realms of love and self-discovery. Empress, your poetic prowess wonderfully creates a spellbinding narrative filled with the universal longings of the human experience. I felt the depth of your feelings shining through every line, a captivating portrait of love, longing, and the beauty found in the darkest corners of the soul. As for your masterful command of language is truly remarkable, and the poem leaves an indelible mark on my heart and mind. It's as if you've captured the very essence of the universe within your verses, illuminating the darkness with the brilliance of your imagery.

As the nightly creatures lurk in the shadows, I find peace in the twin-flame footprints left behind, knowing that the aurora of love lessens the miles between us and our loved ones. In your dahlia dawn, I find sanctuary, a home for my wandering soul. A FAV, for Sure, for all kinds of reasons. Blessings, my dear friend, Daniel
