Notes About The Poem

lovesick luna

if my soul ever wept like a rose 
drunk on thornless scents ...
would you, O love , 
trace the lips of time ,
glazed with passionate patterns 
of poison and starlight?
untying the rubies of romance ,
sleepless, infatuated ... with the flame 
of your pensive pixie-fire ...

I long for you, to pulsate in lush lilac
as the sunset bleeds in your tattoos 
dressed with tequila temptations,
read me ~ like a poem ~ laid bare 
as I unfurl softly, a luna-pearl ...
lovesick .. in liquid pink lustre ,
dreaming of dulcet demons 
in the kiss 
left by leafy fingertips 
of tie-dyed july ~ 

on my waning heart ...

Paige Hind July 21, 2026 at 7:48 PM this is beautiful, Hiya- I love the end, wow, just so much art

Andrea Dietrich July 21, 2026 at 2:40 PM Ahhh for tie dye contest. How creative an idea is this!! That very lady line is perfect and stunning

Sotto Poet July 21, 2026 at 1:39 PM Dear Hiya!, You have a visually rich style and a powerful emotional pull in your poem. Despite the seamless flow of thought, the concept is intriguing as it combines the romantic with the macabre. Notable examples of unusual iconography include a "luna-pearl" and "dulcet demons." Using unusual imagery and metaphors, like "tie-dyed july" and "tequila temptations," is also highly inventive. Great Job. With my best wishes for a full recovery.

Ink Empress July 21, 2026 at 1:44 AM ~ love poem, because I had that in mind and then I see you weave it! You always know how to write in ways that would connect with me especially with such exquisite metaphors and aching alliterations that flow very well! When some try to alliterate the emotions are lost and not felt but not here! It is coming through! Like soulful poetry from the heart! This one is a fave for me ~ pleasure reading ~ sending you light always

Ink Empress July 21, 2026 at 1:42 AM Wow this poem is just another level of achingly passionate sensuality! The desire expressed here is just so very resonating dear Hiya, your metaphors and the alliterations and the flow of your words truly left me feeling alot as this is exactly how I feel right now! I especially felt the words "I long for you, to pulsate in lush lilac as the sunset bleeds in your tattoos" gosh i wish i had come up with the line sunset bleeds in your tattoos" gosh! That inspired me to mention tattoos in a love

Valsa George July 20, 2026 at 8:58 PM "I long for you, to pulsate in lush lilac as the sunset bleeds in your tattoos dressed with tequila temptations, read me ~ like a poem ~" So very poetic and powerfully romantic. I can't write a single line in this fashion. This poem is studded with 'rubies of romance'. Lovely image and lovely poem. Dear Hiya, all the Best!
