Ink Empress Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

This is an anacreontic verse inspired by The Silent One, a dedicated verse for a selflss soul, thank you silent one for inspiring us all

King Of Silence

He is silence, 
crowned in rosy rhymes, 
sprinkling balmy rain 
upon frail flowers. 
misunderstood, yet 
beneath his armor, 
is the selfless moon, 
bestowing starlight.
when darkness unfolds, 
time may be cruel, 
but seasons can't wilt 
soft-spoken sagas, 
echoing amidst 
hushed sanctuaries. 
he shoulders the weight 
of a true savior.
suppressing his need 
to be heard and seen, 
in a world so dark 
and misleading, 
he remains throned to 
an emerald 
garden, that glows 
as the king of 
picturesque patience.
painting the wrongs right 
through butterfly strokes, 
of everlasting 
acrylics, in gold
across mourning skies.

Valsa George December 8, 2023 at 7:28 PM I feel so happy to see the emergence of a few poets who paint "through butterfly strokes, of everlasting acrylics, in gold across mourning skies. " We feel dazzled by their brilliance. This is equally a tribute to our dear friend Silent One to whom it is dedicated and also for the one who has authored it. Beautiful....

Sotto Poet December 8, 2023 at 10:06 AM Although anacreontic verse can be challenging to achieve in terms of flow, this particular piece is excellent. Such sweetness... It is always appreciated to recognize those who inspire. Indeed, Silent One deserves such praise as he is one of the most exquisite muse writing skills, and your eloquence pays homage to a remarkable individual.

Grateful that you agree with me too

Silent One December 8, 2023 at 7:51 AM This is very sweet, but I am not worthy of such praise, just an ordinary guy writing ordinary poetry... some find it nice, some not.. such is the subjective nature of words.. however, I appreciate your kind gesture and efforts in doing so.. You did this form so well, I posted an old one, I should do another one that is recent.. Thank you. Ink Empress December 8, 2023 at 8:22 AM Ahh yes, but in the world of gold, a gem is still a gem, you are not just a poetic gem but so much more. Appreciate you. Always
