Silk-Fire and Arctic-Air

I'm silk-fire, curled in emblazoned quartz horizons, Of aurous equator, rising in smoke as a secular bird, From own fossil-ashes, flying to distant honey-shores, scarlet spun, Stretching across merlot crusts of earth, like a coal-storm, sobered Yet, my heart is not a silent sandstone, flaming with rage, It whispers to my Mon Cherie, my arctic air, In dialects of redolent romance, midst ethers of space, And he, who fuels my glory by igniting spirit, emerges in graphite flares Our skies are not sketched with rose-gold glitters, Rushing in a black-horse's symphony, crashing porcelain herbs, We paint universe in ruins of lead and metallic cinders, Me and arctic air, breathe as one in thunderous heartbeats of reverb; Orbiting in jade bonfires of ornamented redwood, While cradling wrath in crimson vineyards, Has any nurtured offspring of starburst hope withstood, If our eclipsed union is a toxic twinkle upon sacred lotus' haven-yarns?

Wonderful personification of the two elements of nature, the air and fire ! As always , so many great lines in this too carrying us to a different level ."Me and arctic air, breathe as one in thunderous heartbeats of reverb;" Love this. Your metaphors and images are so captivating and beyond the ken of understanding of an average poet like me. I know for certain that they continue to gow, bursting their confines as we read over and again. Amazing Hiya.

I'm in love with these characters full of magic in their hearts “We paint universe in ruins of lead and metallic cinders” you illustrates such intense romance and a universe so vast. “Me and arctic air, breathe as one in thunderous heartbeats” ahhh, seriously took my breath away. Your electric tales soothes my surreal heart.

Wonderfully powerful, eloquent, and provacative words, Hiya. I especially like the 2d stanza and the use of Mon Cherie. I love the depth implied in silk fire. Just a beautiful creation. Have a wonderful day, Sara

I'm silk-fire, curled in emblazoned quartz horizons, Of aurous equator, rising in smoke as a secular bird--jeweled opening to this aurous poem. Splendid vocabulary as always, Hiya. Silk fire and arctic air speak eloquently throughout.

Oh my angelic star how beautifully you’ve written this personification, about fire and ice. Kind of reminds me of the song “ hot n cold” how we can be sometimes both, you’ve described in such detail with colors etc the extremes of both these elements in sheer eloquence. I love so many lines in this, and i agree no rose glitters, and did you just say toxic twinkle! Ah the depth of this write truly blew me away and left mw in awe. Every word woven conveys art in its deepest form that would stir
