Notes About The Poem

Written for the artwork done by Simone Edward called " Butterfly woman Beautiful Aesthetic Watercolor" found on artstation.com

Queen of Butterflies

The sun’s sparkling streaks,
of sangria grace, 
descend upon 
the malachite verdant valley;
world of pristine mountains,
and evergreen tales of 
rainbow hued meadows. 
Where medieval castles 
are guarded with a fragrant
fortress of blushing flowers,
enveloped in topaz gold beams.

She walks along the
fields of redolent reveries, 
where hope sprouts
like the rising moon-
whispering secrets to
the whimsical wind, 
in mystical musicality,
whilst butterflies 
rest upon her ebony hair,
choreographing a 
three dimensional
ballet in ethereal delight,
cradling and mirroring the
dancing spirit in 
emerald elegance.

Her chrysalis heart 
nurtures their sanctuary 
with sanguine serenades,
for she is the queen 
of azure wings,
dressed in timeless mists;
her mind is wrapped 
in kaleidoscope clouds
draped in pearl crescent dust, 
fluttering and twirling with
twinkling stars between
fragile thin veins,
like delicate petals
woven from a tapestry
of thriving dreams. 

Yet the sound of
unsung songs drift
along shadowed skies-
of champagne and
rosemary rays,
fleeting like waning colors,
longing to spread floral arms,
to sketch watercolor
paintings from 
dandelion desires- 
to be heard and seen
beyond the creek of thorns 
and thistles,
as peacock feathers soar 
amongst petrichor leaves swaying
to the celestial tunes of her life-
amidst raining regrets 
a devoted warrior never lets
eclipsed spheres dim
their light upon her sight.

I looked up the artwork you mentioned in your note, and of course, it is worthy of the poem you wrote and the form you chose. Wonderfully descriptive of the creation, Ink. She walks along the fields of redolent reveries, where hope sprouts like the rising moon-whispering secrets to the whimsical wind, in mystical musicality, whilst butterflies rest upon her ebony hair--yes, simply beautiful!

This poem is the true definition of 'Artistic & Ethereal', yesss.. That's how I will describe your work, although it needs infinite adjectives to actually praise every stylistic detailing you've done.. Just as a sculptor, sculpturing the masterpiece with exquisite creativity.. Perfectly shaping it! My gosh, this is definitely one of my FAV poems from you- just like Ink's signature style. Your imageries are profound with metaphors and alliterations flowing in a heavenly confluence, I'm awestruck

You've so brilliantly extracted the eloquent essence from the picture and described it in a magically poetic way, which I can't get enough of and I want to just read this again and again.. Describing an eternal soul, this looks like a pure reflection of your heart, how your spirit saturates in the beauty of the nature yet is a unique gorgeousness in itself.. That ending where you've described about her strength and that no eclipsed spheres can dim her light.. Wow, just amazing~ Love this so much!
