Sapphire Souvenirs

As 
I watch
the waves crash
and unfold gems
in neon blue dust
across ivory shores
silky reflections scatter
upon moon glazed tides in cadence
and flaming twin stars whirl in circles
sprinkling magic upon Poseidon’s realm
There's a turquoise song for the healing hearts
ruffling as lyrical melodies 
along idyllic crests of hope
where memories float in a
bottle of souvenirs
ferrying sapphire 
swells of daydreams
that ebb in 
tune to 
faith

Dearest Inky, this is a poetic wave that "unfolds" in stunning "gems" of imagery and color. Every line is just stunning and breathtaking as "moon glazed tides!" There is such a sense of metaphoric cresting joy like finding a message in a bottle. This beautiful poem has many layers like layers in the ocean. Thank you for such an amazing adventure in "sapphire" dreams. You have an amazing talent that you so beautifully share! Blessings of joy to you! Going into my favs!

So lovely is your metaphorical represenation of waves crashing on the sea strand. 'Gems in neon blue dust across ivory sands scatter silky reflections". Who will refuse to enjoy this magic upon Poseidon's realm! It is so enticing to 'listen to the turquioise song ruffling as lyrical melodies'. Let us ride on the idyllic crests of hope where memories float in a bottle of souvenirs ! Dear friend, you have made me ride on the magic crest of delight. .....Simply fantastic!! Empress, you hold the rightful title, though not of royal blood.

I hope your daydreams turn into sparkling jewels. This Etheree is stunning. Its lovely lyrics and melodies captivated me. I love how you use your imagination to create beauty. It's amazing to include a turquoise tune that can heal broken hearts. This poem is wonderful, as anticipated from you, dear Ink.

Very descriptive of an evening oceanic work. Your lines are always so creative and expressive. Thank you for sharing your talent and for dropping by my page. Sara K..I think you should share an Alexandrine poem with us. I know you would do a great job. There is a contest going on, but of course, I know mine has no chance because it doesn't nearly meet the requirements.

My gosh, I'm loving this whole velvet blue scene of the oceanic world! Like a mermaid, visualising every enchanting imagery infused in these eloquent words, I wish to witness the serenity of the marine eden, once.. Ahh, how breathtaking those waves are, as your poem describes their peaceful and cathartic nature.. "As I watch the waves crash and unfold gems in neon blue dust across ivory shores" That opening itself made me awestruck! It's really very gorgeous!! "Sapphire swells" Wow so beautiful

A lovely double etheree for this contest. You have show the grand nature of your poetic vocabulary here not fazed by a restrictive form... You always write about these kind of poems so well, probably because you are from an exotic island and surrounded by beautiful sand and oceans... I can feel the serenity in your words as you create vivid imagery that surrounds you...
