Ink Empress Poet Fibonacci

Notes About The Poem

For Hiya Sharma's Fib contest " saudade of stars"

Saudade of Stars

I
roam
alone
where the ghosts
cannot touch my spark,
nor steal the sear of soaring moon,
for I am the violet zenith of an arcane
chimera aching and breathing in the afterglow of primordial love magic ~ 
and in the saudade of stars, I held my muse… as tonight, I need you a little closer than the homesick heat kissing this soul in silence,
as I no longer weep as a victim of the devil’s weak harbingers, camouflaged in color-drifting liquid currents of lethal lapis blue, as if these sighs of forgiveness resemble the face of a fool’s paradise…

Hiya Sharma September 18, 2026 at 9:03 PM The catharsis that bleeds after that! Forgiveness is not for them, but for us.. and you are definitely not any victim! Hah! This just resonated with me on many soul levels too, I felt at many points that your words voiced my thoughts as well! Gawssshh mi goodnesszz.. 🥹🫂 Nailed it! Heartiest congratulations on your top placement in my Fibonacci contest, this is just one of the bests, Ofcourse a FAVE too 🧜‍♀️🌙 🧚🍂 🌊🧚 🍁 💫

Hiya Sharma September 18, 2026 at 9:00 PM Cuz you know how to drift with light however dark it may get! The homesickness for love and affection, everything here is so soulful, tender and exquisite ~ "camouflaged in color-drifting liquid currents of lethal lapis blue, as if these sighs of forgiveness resemble the face of a fool’s paradise…" Those lines conquered wonders for me! We are so similar! Often ppl assume our forgiveness to be an act of foolish and naivety .. but they don't realise how our hearts ache for the enigmatic soothe

Hiya Sharma September 18, 2026 at 8:58 PM Sigh! 😢❤️‍🔥🌹 Reading this again just ignited some deep melancholic sentiments within my aching pulse! And how you've written this is absolutely flawless! The metaphors just seem to speak the language that I understand or we understand haha! You absolutely know what I would love and this just went beyond the poetic lengths .. I can't seem to help but sigh at each n every line.. each emotion that you've painted so flawlessly goshhh so sincerely as well.. ghosts absolutely cannot touch your spark,

Andrea Dietrich August 10, 2026 at 4:03 PM More awesomeness from you. I think in the confines of this form you really shine. I chose this theme too. Just didn't post it yet. A fave for me

Terry Griffiths August 9, 2026 at 9:14 AM I do love a Fibonnacci, and I particularly like in this one the line "for I am the violet zenith of an arcane". I've just looked up that "zenith" can be to do with the sky or being most powerful / successful. Which definition is in power here is in itself arcane, which I have also just looked up! But will you reveal the secret for me? Ink Empress August 9, 2026 at 10:33 AM Dear Terry, Thank you for noticing these little details. What I meant by arcane and zenith in my Fibonacci is that I am an impossible enigma at times ~ zenith as the apex, in this case, an apex woman. I hope that clarifies a little bit of what seems like an enigma itself, haha. I went a little metaphorical here and simply let my thoughts flow, so it is focused on many different feelings. There is a Fibonacci contest going on right now, maybe you should give it a go! Have a look in the contest area. Thank you for giving this poem your time ~ sending you light always.

Howard Kerr August 9, 2026 at 5:12 AM Hi Ink, You have written a breathtaking masterpiece as is your wont. You are prodigious in your alignment of colourful description, hue’d portrayals and noble narrative focus. I simply adore ; “nor steall the sear of soaring moon,” “chimera aching and breathing in the afterglow,” and “ colour drifting liquid currents.”❤️💕❤️‍🩹🔥 I am most grateful for your kind and detailed insights on Funeral Of Fireflies. Warmth and care on its way to you, Howard

Pascal Borg August 7, 2026 at 8:08 PM It matters not if absence surrounds us as long as we know that the Empress is there. A beautiful read. Ink Empress August 8, 2026 at 9:33 AM A very thought provoking comment dear Pascal. I appreciate your support. Very kind of you. Sending you light always ~ 🙏

Justin Bordner August 7, 2026 at 12:47 PM To forgive Oneself is just as meaningful as to forgive another...what is the nature of a Muse... Does the Muse become you or do you become the muse...a synthesis perhaps, emerging synergy...J.A.B. Ink Empress August 8, 2026 at 8:07 PM It’s not easy, dear Justin, but you are right. I need to forgive myself for a lot of things, such as trusting certain individuals who betrayed my trust. It still hurts… I love what you said about the Muse. It’s very interesting, and I read it a few times. I think so, too...an emerging synergy, perhaps. Your mind works beautifully. I can see you deeply philosophize. Thank you for supporting my poetry with your wise words. Sending you light, always… ✨

Joanna Daniel August 7, 2026 at 2:03 AM A unique take on the theme, Ink😊 Ink Empress August 8, 2026 at 9:39 AM Thank you so much dear Joanna, I appreciate you noticing that. Sending you light always 😀

Joseph P. DiMino August 6, 2026 at 8:50 PM Lovely Empress. Not to forgive others is to not forgive self. To hold onto pain is yet to be owned by the negative theme. A thought provoking work. I agree, release and let go. If I am a fool, than so be it. Rather be a happy fool than a wise victim. Ink Empress August 8, 2026 at 9:41 AM Your comments should be in your quote section dear Jo, how wise! I would rather be the forgiving fool than the wise victim ~ love that! Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Sending you light always 💫

Alison A Smith August 5, 2026 at 8:38 PM Can I borrow your pen Ink Empress, I would love to have my words flow like this.🌹 Ink Empress August 6, 2026 at 7:24 AM Listen to your heart poetic soul, and let your ink flow ~ these are just my feelings, sigh. And I know your feelings are as poetic ... read you soon kind soul. Thank you for supporting not just me but many others. Sending you light always 💫🌙

Daniel Henry Rodgers August 5, 2026 at 1:50 PM Dear Empress, well the first thing I thought was, what a fascinating psychological alchemy. I believe you’re touching the exact threshold where grief stops being a trap and becomes pure raw light. That saudade, that deep defect, isn't drawn as a void, but as an anchor. This is a great counseling mode that reframes forgiveness not as weakness, but as the precise moment you outgrow the ghosts that tried to pull you under, and that's pure existential survival. You, my Empress Muse, truly build solitude into an unshakeable, self-authored sanctuary, FAV. Blessings, Daniel Ink Empress August 5, 2026 at 8:08 PM Dear Daniel, Sadly, yes ~ we live in a world where so many believe kindness and forgiveness are equivalent to foolishness, and some seem to live only to provoke a reaction from those who choose to breathe calmly. You did understand the Fibonacci, as it touched many different layers. Thank you for the fave and generous praise and support. Sending you light always

Lin Lane August 5, 2026 at 12:31 PM Well, I must say that your lines ring true to an honest commitment of a real saudade of the stars. ⭐ 'Celestial' is where I always feel your poetry takes a reader who truly grasps the significant beauty of your emotional meaning. Into a galaxy of stars is your chosen realm in which to write. I had quite the fun (not) time trying to get the right 55 syllables for the 10 lines. SO glad I can count that high! Ink Empress August 5, 2026 at 12:42 PM Haha, Linnerzz, the intelligent hot poetess! I had a tough time with the 55th syllabic line too. I kept thinking it should be 54 syllables, haha. Ugh! But I really enjoyed expressing myself in this form. SO glad Hiya set this prompt tonight. The heat is over the top where I am right now ~ I do tend to use cosmic words a lot. Maybe my heart is in the clouds. 😆 Sending you rose colored sparks today and always 🌹 💫 🌙
