rhapsody of a moon tulip

and when crickets croon our song in whispered tones, find me within luscious reveries of tulip moons, while stars swirl to the rhapsody of longing~ clouds burst lilac dust upon the burning skyline... for even in your absence, I taste the firefly’s kiss, caressing the infatuated skin of my seized canvas.

They say that stars are the students of the moon, they learn but burn away with jealousy when they cannot reach the level of the moon.. but you have surpassed that level the moon sets... I just hope you do not burn away and your poetry glows like lilac moonlight upon golden fields.. You have said so much in only six lines here.. I hope it is appreciated for the level of quality you have shown.. All the best in your contest..

An exquisite poem of beauty and longing encompassing the stillness of a painting. The purplish dusk gave a sense of permanence. It's delightful.

IE, you are completely tapped into some very beautiful sounds and views. I also like the title you've chosen--it sets the tone to think of the feeling you have as a song. Longing is pleasant at times...especially when you know all will be well in the end.

Passionate, descriptive and romantic lines penned. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K..I live in the area of where the right-side bands of the hurricane Francine are reaching. We are having a lot of needed rain. We got no rain in August and very little in September up to this point, so it had gotten dry very dry here.

Dear Empress, Wow, you have artistically inked it with great mental images and metaphors showing how the beauty and wonder of nature can evoke powerful emotions and memories. I can feel in your flow of words a sense of connection and intimacy when physically apart from a loved one. Empress, it is full of mystery and romanticism that draws the reader into a beautiful world. I think the title is catchy "The Rhapsody of a Moon Tulip" It made me want to read it just based on the title. Faving in many ways! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
