Thank you soupers for your kind support, grateful

L o v e and you, the f a d i n g phase of lunar wings, spectral silver ~ floating in the deep, dark abyss of the obsidian skyline, refracting reveries of a redolent realm, slipping and curling through opalescent glass ~ like a window unfolding truth veiled in twinkling twirls, powdered with pearl dust on the hidden face of you ~ between curved lines, around lips of lament, like Selene sailing through sanguine ripples on a sparkling chariot adorned with citrine embers, laced with fluorescent flames. I dare you to trace the footprints of forgotten words... And when the dusk falls upon your trembling silhouette, the moon reminds you of scribbled solitude ~ etched within emptiness, echoing aching blankness, with no question nor answer, no one to scream at you, no wind to wrap you in warmth, no colors to cradle coldness, no stars to sew the silence, no chorus to soften the pain ~ swirl back to the crescent hammock emanating glistening gold. O heartbeat of the hummingbird, lost in the feathered horizon, turn around and taste the temptations of twilight. Let your soul kiss fervent fingertips of the sun ~ you are the master of the moon, the artist of the acrylic air, the weaver of fragrant dawns before the seething storms; the dreamer ~ carving compassion with hazel haze. We, the immutable poets, plead in stillness, in need of your awakened conscience to shape you, to make you ~ and return you to the unbreakable, as you rise like a dragon’s pulse detached from the heinous heat of the megalomaniac sun. For you will never forge my breathless mind to dwell in eclipsed darkness, shackled by soulless shadows. I am the master and the mistress, the queen of quiescence, crowned in mystical musings, enthroned amongst thunderstruck galaxies ~ like a slave of the heaven who fears not the unknown but rules the moon and cosmos forever engrossed in the esoteric eyes of the celestial magic ~ u n t o u c h a b l e and u n m o v a b l e...

Big congratulations Ink on another one of your inimitable performances, and I say performance because you put more than mere words into your poems, I can sense energy too, for me the stand out ones in this piece; (As you rise like a dragon’s pulse detached from the heinous heat of the megalomaniac sun) that line has real power and menace, which is not easy to capture, A deserved win for sure, cheers David

Oh nice! I saw Dio reunion something like that at the Ozzfest way back when, I love their music fact: Ronnie invented the horn fingers, yeah. My favorite lines are "between curved lines, around lips of lament, like Selene sailing through sanguine ripples on a sparkling chariot adorned with citrine embers, laced with fluorescent flames. I dare you to trace the footprints of forgotten words" soulful imagery the works "I am the master and the mistress, the queen of quiescence, crowned in mystical musings, enthroned amongst thunderstruck galaxies like a slave of the heaven" it would be fabulous to feel that Some acdc too! Congratulations on a most deserved trophy IE m a g I c

Very beautiful as always. I was thinking of Luna as mistress of sky at night, but this is mysterious, and it feels like the moon is not the master, but something else is ruler of the moon and everything else. Did I get that right?
