Minarets of Memories


Beneath the sea-mist moon, surfing in sage ~ as minarets of chartreuse stars rise, singing citrus cityscape chords I feel my footprints waltzing away from willow waves... whistling a chorus of heartbeats which once whirled in your scent. Hear me as I fade in sighs, twinkling within silver strands of sand ~ soothing each song of sin, for, this Ophelia has lived, knitting kyanite a capellas ~ wilting in a thousand lovelorn suns and I'm a mere memory, breathing you...

"whistling a chorus of heartbeats which once whirled in your scent." -- Absolutely love that! With every failed relationship, a new chance to try again. The heart is never empty, having infinite passion and space.

Vivid imagery with phrases like "beneath the sea-mist moon" and "minarets of chartreuse stars."

Ah dear sweet hiya, this is beyond ethereal and magical how youv expressed here in such an evocative and soul stirring manner! I absolutely love the metaphors alliterations and also the depth of emotions youv conveyed here, how beautiful! And your use of mythology and clever diction truly is never mainstream but so artistic! I really felt the lines "Hear me as I fade in sighs, twinkling within silver strands of sand ~ " yes thats so touching! I hear you! And the ending , with " a mere memory breathing you. Says it all how you are engrossed in memories and how somethings are timeless and feelings that remain deep within, i just love everything about this and this definitely is one of your best etherees! A fave for me! Best wishes for the contest! Sending you light always!!!!
