petrichor perseverance

the s e a remembers the taste of cinnamon sunsets~ the essence of emerald embers and resonances of petrichor when the tides tremble in turquoise delight, amidst the marine snakes slithering through oceanic echoes, mirroring Medusa melodies in envious tones. and as the morning stars nestle in the wildflower warmth of the honeyed sun, wine-red ink flows within midnight vines in vain, aching to be heard, while the jealous jasmines jinx the sanguine spirit of January garnets I wear in grace and gratitude. yet if my sky knows not the colors of darkness, would the moon still be my poetic savior? silently sewing sequins of solace to the fabric of love, floating like cosmic candles, elegantly emanating perfumed perseverance for I am the silhouette of the horizon wrapped in a plethora of p e a c e lilies, sprouting in the glistening garden of gossamer verses, finding roseate reasons to rhyme, when eclipsed is the luna-light and monsoon monsters are the cynical spectators, knocking on my canvas with needles and nails sharpened with paper-thin confetti of resentful remorse. but I ponder, will the blind still feel the storms I breathe and the strength I wear to waltz through wicked weeds, eager to chain unspoken needs? this is me running from the toxic rain, pushing me back into the twilight zone, where I surf through nothingness, engrossed in timeless trust, tied to written tranquility, manifesting magnetic waves of inner truce and magic as the sea remembers the serenade of serenity and the sky knows the metaphors to merge winds of love and waves of kindness.

Poetry as a distinct force of Nature is what this pretty and introspective poem speaks to me of Poetess. Envy, grace, remorse, and gratitude seem to be an underlying current herein. "Winds of Love and waves of Kindness..." prevail. Did you paint your Avatar? The psychology and imagery compliment one another richly in this poem...J.A.B.

Dear Ink, Your beautiful poetry explores how nature and human emotions, memories, and serenity are interwoven. The speaker uses sea, sky, and flower pictures to contemplate love, resilience, and tranquility amid upheaval. The topic also celebrates the beauty of contrasts like darkness and light, turbulence and peace. The poem's vivid imagery and sensory language evoke intense emotions. The words "cinnamon sunsets," "emerald flames," and "petrichor" express nature's splendor. Congratulations on your well-deserved Trophy!

Dearest Inky,your poem beautifully weaves nature and emotion, creating a rich tapestry of resilience and introspection. Beneath its ethereal imagery, I sense a deeper struggle—an unspoken battle against those who try to silence or diminish your voice. The "monsoon monsters" and "cynical spectators" feel like the weight of criticism, yet you refuse to be broken, "waltzing through wicked weeds" with strength and grace. Despite the negativity, you find solace in your words, embracing love and kindness over resentment. This piece is both haunting and empowering—a testament to your unshakable spirit as a poet. Absolutely stunning, and a fave for me...Love and Light
