Silence of Thistle Truth

seasons keep m o v i n g and s w i r l i n g memories keep f l o w i n g and s h i f t i n g through pillowy puffs of w h i r l i n g wind carrying singing s u n s e t s wrapped in saffron strings like dragonfly wings paragliding above Himalayan hills facing the Universe as the Goddess of the azure.. and I listen to the sky w h i s p e r curvy crystalline c a r o l s in l e a f y cadence… will forgiving the frosted stars allow d a h l i a dreams in her soul to soar amongst magnetic moon -bows in hope Is destiny constantly p o u r i n g grains of t i m e like s h o o t i n g gemstones, frenziedly f l i c k e r i n g like citrine quartz, sprinkling f e l i c i t y along the intricate labyrinth of unrequited dreams? she looks beyond the o n y x sky questioning the spiced s i l e n c e of thistle t r u t h is she nothing but a speck of dust in the absence of the magnolia moon? his voice is beyond the scopes of her hands to branch through. But like emerald-peacock butterflies in search of perfumed elixir she was captivated by his saccharine symphonies. she knew her glacéd nectars were more than p o i s o n to the velvety bees without honeyed tunes, and the galaxy of chaos, floating within her lobelia eyes, was like electrifying l i g h t n i n g. there’s never a spring where her love can f r e e l y s w a y like v i o l e t wisteria b l o w i n g in the wildflower w i n d will she ever be the only floral leaf- poetically pirouetting to gusty breezes, synchronized in rainbow rhapsodies. there’s no soil to cultivate bronze seeds of f o r s a k e n flowers, in his orchard of delicate orchids, that deserves more than rain to illuminate golden gates, insulating pansies in puddles, preserving frozen r e f l e c t i o n s like fuchsia fog across a field of “forget me nots” that forgets to fill lovers hearts with musky incense, whilst d r i f t i n g away into a distinctive dimension, dressed in daisy wraps, dipped in chocolate cosmos, around honeysuckle hues. maybe her severed sepals were meant to reside as an e b o n y stain on a porcelain hibiscus~ within his heart.. as unruly tales u n r a v e l oppressed tears of a thorn were burdens of night flower buds, whilst the lunar light befalls upon lyrical lawns of love, amidst red lilies lost in the macabre mist of changes.. when weeping willows w e e p she hopes to be the only rune in his rose reverie, like the g l o w i n g sun within musical eyes of J u l i e t~ awaiting R o m e o …

I'm thinking we have a very special thistle that is looking for a purpose--something like one of us searching for something so very difficult to find. It's miraculous when there is success in any such endeavor. What a fantastic way to express these wonderful ideas. I'm loving it.

"will forgiving the frosted stars allow d a h l i a dreams in her soul to soaramongst magnetic moon -bows in hope"- I loved that. "she knew her glacéd nectars were more than p o i s o n"- a speck of dust without her moon, so much grabbed me. You are so good I don't honestly know a niche for you, but you are your own niche. Lots of light. You are a gem.

I love this. You have an alter ego for all of this Life foliage. The tastes of love, for-seen by God and put into situational marker-forgot-you-nots. The sun's photosynthesis, a wink, a snapshooter and a cultivator, reeling in cheering section. In the violet blowing wind. ~.....the Jasmine in your mind....a beautiful scense of mind

Dear Empress, the very title of your poem is so arresting and I expect a torrent of metaphors to be rained down as I start reading your poem. I have read only the first stanza now..... but I can't proceed without commenting something about it. Your talent exceeds all boundaries and my mind takes flight in delight as a dragonfly on wings, paragliding ! Some of the images and usages here are so spell binding......'like curvy crystalline carols in leafy cadence', 'pansies in puddles,' 'wisteria blowing in the wild flower wind,' 'his saccharine symphonies' . Their alliterative beauty and semantic depth are unequalled and astounding. "when weeping willows w e e p she hopes to be the only rune in his rose reverie," What an arresting conclusion! You are great, my dear friend.

Such a romantic ending, and I learned a new word from the phrase lobelia eyes. Don't think I ever heard of lobelia before. I saw they were flowers. great work as ever, Ink

Hey ink, I love how your poem opens with a vivid depiction of the passage of time and the shifting seasons, mirrored in the swirling memories and flowing imagery. The use of sensory language, such as "pillowy puffs," "saffron strings," and "dragonfly wings," creates a dreamlike atmosphere, transporting the reader to a world of ethereal beauty and wonder...

Overall poem invites readers on a journey of introspection and contemplation, exploring themes of love, longing, and the mysteries of existence. Through its evocative imagery and lyrical language, it captures the ephemeral beauty of life's moments and the enduring search for meaning and connection in a world of constant change...

There is a unique softness the way you put words together, I love the display. "sprinkling f e l i c i t y along the intricate labyrinth of unrequited dreams?" you open doors both in places familiar and unfamiliar, I delve into your realms of imagination, Ink. Clever ending tribute to Romeo & Juliet. I always learn something new as well...Inspiring me with delightful vibes...Blessings -Valentine-spirited!

Oh my, dear Ink, you've really painted a kismet of heartfelt feelings here, that flow ever so gorgeously in a glowing way! Ah, your use of metaphors and adjectives here is absolutely enchanting and I'm especially awestruck by that ending... What a witty reference of Romeo and Juliet.. This poem made me feel so many emotions and certainly, moved my soul. "dragonfly wings paragliding above Himalayan hills", "magnetic moon -bows in hope", "is she nothing but a speck..absence of the magnolia moon?"

Absolutely magical in its profound wordsmithery yet very evocative and palpable... I love the mellifluous flow created by heavenly alliteration here especially, "lyrical lawns of love", "orchard of delicate orchids" Gosh, that's absolutely fascinating and so glorious in every way..

A beautiful poem as always, Inky. Great title ... it set the stage with its alliteration. The use of alliteration throughout the poem was lovely to me. It makes the poem flow like a crystal river, gurgling with love. Even more, your unique use of spacing was very engaging. First six lines, moving, swirling, flowing, shifting, twirling was eloquent. A FAV for my list! I could feel the passion and desire for love. I wish for your dreams to come true, my sweet friend. Light and Love, Bill

I'm continue to be in awe of your poetic voice, style, and talent. Your imagery is always powerful and descriptive beyond the 'norm.' Your poem is magical, capturing some universal themes of love, human nature, and even nature itself. Your poem is like a work of art, dearest Ink.Loved all the alliterations but especially this one: dressed in daisy wraps, dipped in chocolate cosmos, around honeysuckle hues. So much to say and so little space :-) have a wonderful evening, hugs, Sara

Hi Ink, I have just had the privilege of bearing witness to an endowed poetic genius weave sequential magic spells. Rivers of rhythmic relish unfold embedded in clusters of layered lyrical pathos. Your flawless mastery of illuminating images, your dreamlike dispersal of hue and colour in pursuit of a tender thematic expression is a joy to behold. Sumptuous tapestries touching on delicate matters of the heart displayed majestically. I’m honoured indeed flattered by your extremely generous comments on “Magenta.” Howard

Oh my dear sweet one- your ‘Romeo ‘ poem . Where does one start with this perfection?? Before the reader even starts to get absorbed with this masterpiece, it is visually enchanting. Even the title is captivating. Wow - ‘ through pillowy puffs of whirling wind’, ‘ frosted stars’ ‘ magnolia moon’’ pansies in puddles’ red lilies’ and on goes majestic, breathtaking imagery. Unrequited dreams - how well I know about them. I can resonate with this divine poem too dear Inky.

A poem of many beautiful words but will Romeo finally respond? It's hoped so. It's a gem of poetry with anxious emotion that stills my heart. Whatever will be.

Your prose are welcomed here if only by one set of eyes. Your word bespeak the plight of Juliet. Don't say as Juliet said, "Then I’ll be brief. O, happy dagger, This is thy sheath. There rust, and let me die" awaiting her Romeo to rise. Your words are resurrected your unrequited love by your ardor. Thank you.

Dear Ink Empress. You touched our hearts with your words, creating a mesmerizing journey through the landscapes of love, longing, and introspection. Wow! Your exploration of themes such as destiny, dreams, and the passage of time is very thought-provoking. The questions you pose about the nature of existence and the pursuit of truth should cause all of us to think. The longing for love and acceptance, the pain of unrequited dreams, and the hope for a future where love can freely sway are all palpable in your words. Yes, it is a captivating blend of lyrical beauty and emotional depth. It really speaks to your talent as a poet and your ability to touch the hearts of your readers.
