Moonstone Melodies

Written: November 10, 2024 For Contest Sponsored by: Ink Empress __________________________ Homeric moonstone sparkles at night. a glowing globe of gleam amid galaxies, Its shimmering shafts as flowing fantasies, gliding glimmering, giddy waves of a wild ocean. Glowing gaze glances into the gorgeous,  glistening sapphire depths, where wild winds whirl, a wondrous waltz awakens— ruby glistens amid the thunderclap. amethyst whispers in the misty screams. Hearken: harmonious hymns hover in heavens colorful loops of capturing emerald and turquoise every hue is a harmony in a mariner’s melody each ebbing essence echoes magical epics of yore. The fracas outside fades as nature’s narratives naturally navigate— dense drapery, like drowsy dividers drawbacks divulge a heart displayed delicately. Moonbeams meander over majestic mountains limestone and obsidian, luscious layers lost while wordsmiths weave wondrous words, In a cascade of captivating couplets,  that shimmer and crumble. Do you hear the sirens sing? a chorus of longing from the depths they call to hearts heavy like stone yet light as ashes caught in the smoke. We walk where men have trodden, tracing footsteps worn soft by time, with wonder in every glance, every sigh, painted worlds vibrate in the very air. So, step into this symphony of starlit spells. a captivating collection of contrasting senses— where dazzling diamonds dance delightfully and the fierce fight for fervent fantasies flows with the tide. Out here beneath the blackened blanket of night, Elysium eagerly awaits our embrace— a splendid symphony, and you the softest serenade nestled in its depths.
