Much needed distraction and brain exercise. Hah.

I remember Cupid’s scent when December stars sailed, above vast seas of scars rippling with past mistakes, awaiting the euphonious moon to croon and tune melodies veiled. But will the skies in blues be the muse, casting dews of jasmine bright? For when shadows rise, darkness looms and blooms in lotus-filled lakes, erasing the old memories of ink, imbued with rose gold light. Maybe the waning essence of sage flavors savors the colors of amorous art, where twilight twirls and swirls to silent confessions that time breaks, oblivious to the periwinkle rhyme placed from your soul to my lilac-laced heart.

Empress, sweet, you always amaze me by. the zenith heights of your poetry. I mean that. Your love affair with language is profoundly obvious. I admire your work greatly and this poem shines. It is the first time i’ve ever read of a musical, crooning moon, but makes real sense with its rythm! Love you, sally

I find myself captivated be the vivid imagery and emotional depth. Would you have confide eloquently in this piece. Phrases like "Cupid’s scent" and "vast seas of scars" truly engage my senses and evoke a sense of nostalgia. The lyrical quality, enhanced by alliteration & assonance, adds a musicality that blows me away. Symbols like "jasmine" and "rose gold light" enrich the meaning for me. The complexity of thought invites me to reflect on love and memory, which imprints a lasting impression.

Dear Ink, your wonderful poem explores themes of love, memory, and the passage of time, intertwining the beauty and pain of past experiences with the hope and possibility of future connections. It reflects on how love can evoke both joy and sorrow, as well as how memories shape our present. Good luck with the contest.

Dearest Empress what a great poem for that needed distraction and brain exercise. It must have been highly successful for after reading it several times so I could savor every morsel I realize how wonderful it is. It is so reflecting on how love and memories change over time while contrasting past romantic experiences with present realities. That lasting connection between souls, transcending time and change with that lilac-laced heart. I think my favorite line was “awaiting the euphonious moon to croon and tune melodies veiled.” Absolutely beautiful. A winner’s winner Fav! Blessings, My Dear Empress, Daniel

"But will the skies in blues be the muse, casting dews of jasmine bright? For when shadows rise, darkness looms and blooms in lotus-filled lakes," -- Very original and beautiful. Lovely poem.
