Listen to poem:
"All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, And I intend to end up there." Rumi In search of my beloved, my supernova soul was born, floating among gardens of glistening galaxies, adoring heavenly hues of sapphire, amethyst and emerald constellations, where efflorescence butterflies, fluttered among elysian scents. Yet I still yearned for her forbidden fragrance. Cultivating the art of transcendental romance, euphoric emotions wrote an amaranthine aubade, hoping the universe would hear my call, as my love is a timeless lunar lullaby, lingering like a flute echoing moonstone melodies, where passion travels with each nocturnal note composing a cosmic chorus, ordained from an orchestra of galactic halos. At twilight, in a playground of primrose promises, millions of pulsar pearls appeared. Silent and still, sentimental stars shimmering, listening to the desires of my heart, but at dawn they were always forgotten. In my hallucination of loneliness, fatigued from evanescent entities, I awaited to hear her halcyon harmony, until echoes vibrated from the moon, so I became a slave to moonlight - but it too, abandoned me at daylight. Must I forever be the victim of selfish sunrise? Upon the elegance of an ethereal eternal eclipse. the last star wept sacred stardust on autumn leaves, which glowed as they withered from scarlet to saffron. In Nebula's November cull of death, I fell like a comet in a meteor shower, betrayed, falling into a quasar black hole - lost forever. Without interstellar lyrics, I no longer illuminate, maybe some light is too bright. But, I know there is a rustic rose, blossoming upon vintage shores, so, every night I look up to the sky, wondering where you are? In these realms, within which I roam, I watch each star suffocate from the suppression of affection. Seems no spectral spirit is selfless enough to ignite this symphony of silence. Maybe I was born a cosmic Casanova. Maybe I'm just an intergalactic Romeo.

This is a work of art, crafted into tides of the clouds and through the flames of heaven. I've missed reading your profound poems and I'm not sure how I was able to cope without them. "In my hallucination of loneliness, fatigued from evanescent entities, I awaited to hear her halcyon harmony, until echoes vibrated from the moon, so I became a slave to moonlight - but it too, abandoned me at daylight." I love the questions and uncertainty towards finding love and its ability to stay.

This is absolutely beautiful—your words weave such a celestial longing, and the imagery is pure magic. From “efflorescence butterflies” to “amaranthine aubade,” every line breathes with a sense of yearning that feels both infinite and intimate. Damn! I love how you play with light and darkness, love and loss, creating this delicate balance of passion and ache. It’s like the poem itself is a timeless lullaby, echoing across the cosmos. Truly breathtaking work! I love it. Congratulations on your well deserved win. I'm so happy to be back to read. I hope you've been well. Missed you loads.

Dear SO, your artistry brings lovelorn imagery to the page to release emotions that I didn't know existed. The revelation is a deep, rich, sadly beautiful plea that resonates my heartstrings in your search for your beloved. "Sentimental stars shimmering" like eyes glistening, listen to your heart's desires only to "abandon you at daylight" as your pensive resignation reverberates across the universe. Congratulations for your shining trophy win in Ink's contest. This is truly a poem of the heart! Your golden pen never suffers from "suppression of affection." Warmest wishes my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

Thank you Susan...sometimes the love we search isn't in our current t realm, so we look beyond this existence

Youve used so many metaphors and phrases that connect and resonate with me for the style of your word weaving, is so very my style! also the way youv written is impressive, and moving with so many emotions flowing in such an eloquent manner. The way youv brought so many cosmic elements to life and also how youv used my prompts too here is very creative along with the seamless alliterations! “I watch each star suffocate from the suppression of affection.” That line! A stellar and achingly soulful poem! Congratulations on your well deserved trophy win! Your poems are worthy of so many more accolades than just virtual trophies! Thank you for sharing

this captives the soul SO and brings a sense of hopefulness too. It is always sad to lose a loved one and so much remains to remind us of them as if there is just a curtain in between it is in human nature to long despairingly for what is beyond reach hugs Shadow

SO, you poetically describe the angst over finding a beloved. At some point the universe opens up and reveals what is sought and pined for. It likely happens when just ready to give up. There is certainly well-defined suffering apparent here. Good to read the way you put it together. Smiles!

"....my love is a timeless lunar lullaby, lingering like a flute echoing moonstone melodies, where passion travels with each nocturnal note composing a cosmic chorus, ordained from an orchestra of galactic halos." What beautiful and powerful lines, dear Silent One. Though the person you are seeking is not found, in the core of your heart, you nurture the flame of love that gives you hope and light through endless nights. But sometimes hopes wane and dim and you fall into a silence. "Seems no spectral spirit is selfless enough to ignite this symphony of silence." But even that silence has a sweet symphony. A great poem as ever and one of my FAVES.

Thank you as always for your sweet and kind words and support. It means a lot to me. I must say, I have given up on love.. I don't think she exists in this realm... Maybe in another realm at another time... Take care.

SO, I would say this poem describes someone with a certain chemistry, which defines that person. All good really. It's really a pleasure to read about all the possible connections to be made, even if they don't work out as hoped. There's no harm in trying to find oneself in this diverse universe. You do point out it discourages at times. Smiles!!

Dear friend, S.O. this is a remarkable poem that reveals the realms of yearning, solitude, and the quest for affection amid the immensity of life. You seem to sense a soulful bond with a cherished companion, either gone or grasped beyond reach, illustrating an inner journey that surpasses spatial limits. Sending you peace and affection

SO, you have crafted a perfect, poetic spaceship to take us on an intergalactic pilgrimage of the pensive heart! Your skill as a master poet shines through your positively powerful alliterations and your images of "pulsar pearls." Love your last couplet along with the way you delve into the primal essence of looking for love - a wonderful write that highlights potential and the power of the positive. Thank you for sharing your gift and the prowess of your pen! Blessings for your pilgrimage.

Thank you... not sure a life without a beloved is peaceful... but you get used to it, I guess...

"hoping the universe would hear my call, as my love is a timeless lunar lullaby," -- Love that! "Must I forever be the victim of selfish sunrise?" -- Aren't we all! Well said. "maybe some light is too bright." -- If love be dream...then let me never awaken. "Maybe I was born a cosmic Casanova. Maybe I'm just an intergalactic Romeo." -- Brilliant poetry my friend.

Maybe I was born a cosmic Casanova. Maybe I'm just an intergalactic Romeo. You could inspire me to write a song about you. That poetic soul that calls me to his page to read his elegant poetry far too wordy for lyric. But Cosmis Casanova you are, for you inspire romance with your words. And Intergalatic Romeo as you elevate your search to the heavens. She is out there the bard whispers.

That is a very sweet and lovely thing to say.. but my words are not worthy to be turned into a song.. Although I have written lyrics in the past... I dont think she is out there.. I just wonder with my fate and fragility if destiny will be kind enough to give me time to find her.. Thank you

A master of vocabulary and an interesting mixture of cosmic emotions. Thanks for your comment on my poem. It is by no means finished.

Dearest S1 your beautiful poem with amazing alliteration freely flowing is nothing short of a celestial masterpiece! It’s as if the universe itself is both companion and adversary in this cosmic romance.' Maybe I was born a cosmic Casanova. Maybe I'm just an intergalactic Romeo'.Maybe both...Hugs
