If stars were Gold

In your absence I float in psychedelic ink to design a labyrinth with rainbow roses drenched in turquoise tears and metaphors. But, if stars were gold, and I am love, you'll be the poetic garden that feeds my soul. Maybe, someday, I'll be more than just a faltering feather~will you then, remind me, how to sing again, steal the light behind the jade moon?

Beautiful- it flows like a ballad, and prose, mixed together...in the form of fibonacci. Your work is never common. Loved reading this

In the absence of your cherished one, your psychedelic ink fills my mind with turquoise tears and faltering feathers rising. You sing wonderfully despite the missing.

I gained great insight from this poem. "You'll be the poetic garden that feeds my soul" opens love to a new dimension. It seems to be seen from above. Thank you for this enjoyable Fibonacci.

Very beautiful, magical write. Romantic. I've dropped many a feather in my life...in fact, not much head-plume left. Oh well, saving on haircuts. -- "remind me, how to sing again, steal the light behind the jade moon?" -- wonderful poetic imagery.

Delightfully romantic, Ink: ---But, if stars were gold, and I am love, you'll be the poetic garden that feeds my soul--I hear the sound of missing the beloved--longing for love, resonating throughout through your gifted pen.

IE, this expresses a lot of loneliness to me...and also hope. It does have a psychedelic quality that I can only dream about. Anyone who writes like this must have a golden heart. I am so impressed at how you put your feelings into such beautiful form. The connection to stars, flowers, and other natural phenomena makes this a joy to read. It is hard for me to understand how someone not lonely could write this....I suspect you have amazing ability to feel for others. Hope you have it all!

I love romantic poems just as much as I do the dark ones. You make me wanna give love a chance. "But, if stars were gold, and I am love, you'll be the poetic garden that feeds my soul." It feels calm and true. A great one dear Ink.

..to design a labyrinth with rainbow roses drenched in turquoise tears and metaphors” — so seamlessly mesmeric! “But, if stars were gold, and I am in love you’ll be the poetic garden that feeds my soul” — such a divine love that rises with the sun and dreams with the moon and stars. “Will you then, remind me, how to sing again, steal the light behind the jade moon” — ahh..such a deep and pure intimacy inked of a timeless love! One of my favorites from you, stirring the heart and soul!

This is a lovely Fibonacci.. I've never seen one so romantic, this one flows with devotion and love, despite anything that you may face you will always adore and love him.. some lovely line here like, rainbow roses drenched in turquoise tears and metaphors and I like the reference o the poetic garden... we all need a love like this that makes us feel complete and I hope one day you are more than just a faltering feather.. what a coincidence I used feathered fate in my poem today also....
