Soul of Seaside Sepulchre


When the 
seaside sepulchre 
of a kingdom, 
without its queen, 
is smeared with 
screams of lighting, 
I wish to crackle
these slivers 
of silver shakle, 
and devour
that consoling 
taste of balsamic 
twilight, which 
drapes every 
ritual of woe with
maleficent vows. 

I wonder, if 
the thievery of 
of my soul, will 
enhance the 
crawling of
raven sun 
or, bestow power 
upon the baptised
mannequin, 
by slaying those
jealous lilies, 
floating in 
summery 
estuaries of 
my stolen destiny. 

As these sage flames 
fly across the
chambers of 
my castle, 
petrifying those 
puerile promises 
of life, I seak to 
be an amaranth, 
rising beyond 
oak skies as
I engulf those 
taunting meteors that 
enshroud my 
solitude and
dethrone every 
essence of 
false light, that
consumed those
waltzing scents 
of my sangria spring. 

Has my heart
become a 
fickle thorn, 
who will keep
bleeding guidance
in moonlight or
shall this
fortnight be 
traced by the last 
streak of treacherous
bloodline?

Perhaps, 
'The Goddess 
of Thunder'
is unfurling 
those flaming
rose' maidens, 
who wish 
to splash ebons
of roaring wreath, 
across the 
woeful vaults of
my ribcage, 
which concealed
their silence 
in sentinels of 
sacrifice. 

I don't assert
the want of
swathing myself
in the perfumed
petrichor of 
heinous healing, 
as I don't want to 
quench this 
rage that 
is carving a 
strife to 
refuse my
surrender towards
this succumbing
darkness. 

" I wish to be 
        the soul of a marionette's
           pearly pupa,    
               satiated by fiery halo
                       of chrysalis,    
          and slowly weaving
              silken hymns of 
                          desperate hope, 
                   desiring to emerge 
                          from the emeralds, 
                                   that betray every eye... "

You wish to be the soul of a marionette's pearly pupa? Ha! Bet that line's never been done before. I have no idea what it means but I think I like it. But my fave line is "slowly weaving silken hymns of desperate hope." Sublime

Whoa!! I don't think I would want to be that chrysalis. I would want to be a yellow swallowtail butterfly if I was in the insect kingdom. This one reads like a good contender if it is for a contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing your talent with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Excellent poem for the contest dear Hiya.. The vivid imagery and intricate language, took me on a journey through the complexities of emotion and existential questioning. The seaside sepulchre becomes a symbolic stage for the poet's contemplation, where the absence of a queen is felt amid the screams of lightning... A bit like ink Empress not being around ,right? You have love and devotion for her.. The use of metaphors, such as "sage flames" and

Dear Silent One, thank you so much for your in-depth analysis of my poem and for commenting with such beautiful kindness, I'm grateful. Although, Ink is truly an Empress with her poetic Kingdom, the queen of metaphors and I truly adore her with respect, but, I want to confess that this poem isn't about her.. As this poem is all about the darkness I've experienced in life, how at times a soul wished for death instead of life and how I've dwelled in a depressive state.. I don't want even a bit of such dark emotions to even touch her aura.. She deserves everything best and magical as she has an empathetic and genuine heart.. Thank you so much, to you both, for your amazing support always ~

"flaming rose' maidens," adds depth to the narrative, creating defiant and longing emotions... Your poem explores the complexities of surrendering to darkness while simultaneously resisting it, creating emotions that invite reflection on the nature of hope, sacrifice, and the intricate dance between light and shadow.
