Notes About The Poem

Written for " incarnate" contest sponsored by Edward Ibeh..

pristine poetic palace

I am the 
     cascading radiance,
 between apricot 
   glows of gloaming,
when mauve mists shift,
mirroring sage seas of love, 
I look beyond silvery skies
  whilst selfless stars sprinkle,
sizzling streaks
 of sunflower sparkles~
upon wrinkled 
 waves of weariness.

it is in sangria silence, I see 
seraphic silhouette of
the mauve moon~
incarnate elysian empires,
 where rosemary rivers 
flow in righteous rhythm,
awakening stainless
 lotus rituals,
soaring amidst the 
ardent ambience
  of butterfly bliss. 

now my heart twirls
to riveting themes,
captivated by the 
charismatic credence
of your charming finesse~
swirling beneath 
  purple paper balloons,
ornamented with
  pristine pansies,
to weave fuchsia faith 
with 
 dahlia dreams.

yet, sometimes
 I question
the eclectic light,
lulling my aching soul,
would life be a 
  pensive pilgrim 
without your 
  angelic wings?
what if I had never found
the sanctified sanctuary,
shielded with 
   golden gates
adorned in 
  citrine-pearl calligraphies..
would I then 
  still be drowning,
alone, engulfed in fears?
for I’ve found 
  silent scriptures of serenity
through carmine carvings 
on the mystical walls
in your poetic palace,
there love is the
 astral language 
  of crooning constellations,
guiding poignant peonies 
to a holistic sphere 
  of artistic healing. 

so tonight, I’ll unlock 
cosmic windows to 
the root chakra, 
where you are the 
enlightened king,
and your 
  altruistic anthem,
rings musically 
like soothing
   singing bowls,
echoing forgiving heartbeats,
and I, will remain faithfully
engrossed eternally,
    like petals blossoming 
within your gardenia grace.

Love has so much power. When one is overwhelmed by love, life changes mystically and mysteriously. Yet fear plagues the mind as we begin wondering if we will miss that sanctified sanctuary. But soon hope wins over. Once love is affirmed, how beautiful it is to remain faithful engrossed eternally with the loved one's 'gardenia grace'. Each word and image in your poem are so beautifully aligned that a slight change in the order of their placing mars the beauty of the poem. Great Poetess, every time, you leave me awed with your exceptional flair for poetry!

Dear Ink, Woe, your initial lines evoke an extraordinary sense of awe and respect for nature as they portray a mesmerizing waterfall of light, encircled by mauve mists and glows of apricot. The vision of altruistic stars scattering sunflower sparkles onto wrinkly waves of exhaustion evokes a sense of rejuvenation and renewal. Lyrically, the poem celebrates the transformative power of love and the profound impact it has on our souls. The way you use diction is incredibly beautiful and eloquent. It feels like observing a celestial ballet, where each verse symbolizes a delicate step. After reading your poem, I have been transported to a world of grace and illumination. It has inspired me to assist others in finding solace and peace.

Hey Ink Empress, Your poem is a mesmerising journey through the realms of love, beauty, and introspection. The imagery is rich and evocative, painting vivid pictures of celestial landscapes and emotional experiences. The opening lines capture your awe and reverence for the natural world, with cascading radiance amidst apricot glows and mauve mists. The imagery of selfless stars sprinkling sunflower sparkles upon wrinkled waves of weariness creates a sense of rejuvenation and wonder. It is a lyrical ode to love's transformative power and the profound impact of the beloved on the speaker's soul. It invites readers to immerse themselves in its enchanting imagery and reflect on the beauty and complexity of human emotions.
