Maiden of Musical Moonshine Premiere Contest Winner


Music is an undying 
art of soul ~ 
an abstract eden, where, 
euphonious unicorns 
glide in strawberry sonatas, 
amplifying rhapsody in
ballads of flight, 
when fuchsia feathers
tease those 
jingling breezes, 
infusing breaths
in every lifeless aroma;
where I can soar 
beyond the 
brushstrokes 
of symphonies that
planktons sing to me, 
in the requiems of 
forsaken pearls, 
crooning with 
silenced shimmers
beneath wavy blues. 

Maybe, 
I'm a songwriter 
without words, 
and my electric fingers
trace the tunes 
of serene strings, 
when guitars weave
a sonorous guilt
midst ruby runes 
of regrets. 
I wish to keep
swinging in a 
cosmic cadence, 
where celestial notes 
choreograph 
themselves in the 
moonwalking
mellifluence of 
lunar legacies. 

I gossip with 
neon nightingales, 
laced with neutrinos
and compel them
to chant those
healing incantations
of love and glory,
like the forlorn 
princess - Rapunzel, 
desiring to feel 
the glow of 
familiar lanterns, 
winged with 
hazy syncs of 
unsung yesteryears. 

I wonder if, 
I'm not meant 
to compose 
crystal canticles
in a Disney duet, 
for, I believe, 
I'm a soul searcher
in the flesh of
a soloist, concocting 
an elixir of my 
existence through
cinnamon anthems
of mystical 
moonrises, as 
they softly unfold, 
a million 
unheard tempos, 
within tranquil 
memoirs. 

I'm the 'maiden of music'
resting as a floret on 
every sepal, 
yearning to become
a unique acapella 
of nature, 
where empathy 
has an ethereal
dialect of 
nurturing spirits
and tinkles
of magical waterfalls
whisper in 
gentle lachrymose lulls
of our ambrosial Mother. 

When the harmony 
of my voice, 
kisses those 
ivory keys of 
the heart-shaped
piano, they 
echo a tipsy secret 
in my sunset skin, 
making me 
believe ~
"I'm everywhere 
in the essence, 
yet nowhere
to be found...", 
like the sweet 
scents of 
hummingbirds, 
smiling behind
that first dusky star. 

      "In each husky hallelujah
                of ribboned halts and replays, 
           life is a song ~
                    where every lyric, 
                phrases an ember of end, 
      and when passionate heartbeats 
                       shall knit sombre medleys, 
                  I will hum in the last 'chef-d'oeuvre'... "

Dear Hiya, golden poetess, the ornate quality to your imagery can't help but sweep my spirit and imagination up and away on your lyrical windswept soul-streams and dreamy "Rapunzel" moonbeams of poetic artistry. Indeed, I'm "swinging in a cosmic cadence" as "I gossip with neon nightingales" and revel in the beauty of your euphoric verse. Congratulations for your trophy win in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes my dear poetry friend.. ~Susan

Dear Hiya, you have a way with weaving words and emotions in a metaphorical manner that is easy for me to grasp now: you have improved so much as a poet and this is an exquisite take with excellent lyrical wordplay, where every line keeps getting better as the poem unfolds, you use poetic techniques very well too and i hope you will continue cosmically dancing and creating music as the maiden of music always! So creative and artistic! Congratulations on your win. Pleasure reading this

"I'm the 'maiden of music' resting as a floret on every sepal, yearning to become a unique acapella of nature,"..... Indeed you are a maiden of music..... your poems are coordinated sounds, lifting us to great heights of enjoyment. Your vocabulary is highly ornate and your word choice, excellent. "I can soar beyond the brushstrokes of symphonies that planktons sing to me, in the requiems of forsaken pearls, crooning with silenced shimmers beneath wavy blues." Music lifts you to planes beyond ephemeral. May you rise to international levels in poetry, dear Hiya. Soooo beautiful ! !

Awh, thank you so much for your kindness, beautiful Andrea..Ah, no actually I'm not her twin sister or sister, but yes one can say that, we do have twinning souls as we have similar nature and likings in poetry as well as life...and that's why it reflects in our poems too, for we both love metaphors..she's actually like my Fairy Goddess :) Sending you many best wishes, love & light, truly appreciate your wonderful visit ~

Oh Hiya a wonderful take on the contest.. its an enchanting exploration of the transcendent power of music, presented with vivid imagery and poetic finesse. The language used is evocative, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that immerses the reader into the ethereal realm of the speaker's musings.. The opening lines portray music as an "undying art of the soul," an abstract Eden where euphonious unicorns glide in strawberry sonatas. This imaginative and whimsical imagery sets the stage for a

celebration of the transformative and otherworldly qualities of music.. It concludes with a powerful reflection on life as a song, where every lyric phrases an ember of an end. The promise to hum in the last 'chef-d'oeuvre' adds a poignant and affirming note, suggesting a continuation of the artistic journey even in the face of life's inevitable conclusion.. Good luck in the contest dear..
