Written for Joseph May contest , picture 5 , rhymes

5 I breathe your name in lilac-glazed hues, dazed in butterfly moon’s sighs, aching for stellar muse to tease and release celestial dust~ there the salt of the sea graces silver traces of the lunar skies. O precious pearl rose, unfurl restless colors of your midnight gold, for this nocturnal heart knows and has mastered the cosmic art of trust, while I let the weight of my ink sink, steering the wind and waves to behold. I ponder, if dusk and dawn sway to the mystical ray of light~ will we ever soar free, under the spell of psychedelic lust, lost in the timeless rhythm of rhyme-less runes out of sight?

I missed seeing this gem as POTD. I am sure this must have scored a high placement in Joseph's contest. With what beauty, you have invested the night. I see the stellar muse releasing celestial dust and the lunar sky gleaming with traces of silver. "the timeless rhythm of rhyme-less runes " really is so catchy. Hearty Congratulations on your great placement and POTD honor.

Few botanicals are lovelier than the unfolding petals of a rose. You always brush your poetry with a palette of colors. This one, I imagine in a pale pearly dusting of rose. Congratulations on potd, Ink.

You get so many lovely comments, because you are a lovely, sincere person who supports so many on here.. I know you have much more poetic poems that this, that could have been POTD... but this one is one of skill and you have shown what multi talented poet you are with the internal rhymes and rhymes flowing form verse to verse and and the end rhymes.. and your choice of words to portray your emotions are descriptive in their imagery and of course great use of metaphors.. all the best..

Haha dear DD, you made me smile, trust me migraine monsters were horrible and i had to change lines so many times, never again should i do a form so tough (with rhymes) when having migraines.
