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...

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?

thanks for seeing so many of my poems today. I can't wait for school to be out because I have to take care of tech issues with my laptop. Will tell you in an email.

I don't know the song but love the power and presence of this poem. Great imagery! I love this section "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" very powerful! Good luck in the contest x

Wow!! You left me awestruck with the sheer poetic brilliance you've portrayed in this impeccable piece, my dearest fairy goddess! The elixir of moon indeed flows in your veins and that is evident through your artistically crafted lines that do not leave, but live in the reader's heart with such thorough insight. The way you've interpreted the song and given it a whole new poetic dimension of its own, just commendable! Perhaps, the best manner to describe the sentiments of those lyrics by making it your own! I love sooo many lines here especially "like Selene sailing through sanguine ripples on a sparkling chariot adorned with citrine embers" Ahh the imagery is spellbinding! "Let your soul kiss fervent fingertips of the sun ~" One of my most favorite lines here, wow!! "We, the immutable poets, plead in stillness, in need of your awakened conscience to shape you, to make you ~" That part gives me goosebumps! So much power and wisdom swirl in this poem, my dear Ink!

And finally that ending stole my heart! "like a slave of the heaven who fears not the unknown but rules the moon and cosmos" You are indeed the "queen of quiescence" whose soul knows how to exist in the very essence of life... Absolutely an exceptional piece for the contest and I'm sure this will do so well! Keep shining and writing always! Sending you so much love and light, a FAV for me ~
