space between silence

the s p a c e between us, is lined with full stops and wistful questions~ tucked within "inverted commas" of w e e p i n g stars, but I'm lost in suffocating s i l e n c e... t h i n k i n g l o n g i n g d r e a m i n g... as Y o u, my beloved are enough...the poetic pause breathing between stellar heartbeats of the mourning sky~ punctuating promises mirroring the magnetic equations of l o v e ~ a cosmic pyramid glazed with pearl-dust as herbs of henna soothe this soul swollen with g r a t i t u d e sipping midnight mocktails like a dressed devotee worshipping the aura of roses within serene scriptures ...

"A cosmic pyramid glazed in pearl dust..." that's spectacular, emblematic to me of many lifetimes going into the building of a soul pyramid, or love temple. "Worshiping the aura of roses within serene scriptures..." Sometimes I wish my face were made of fresh rose petals. The scripture of your rose is written in a dialect of love's innocence Poetess...J.A.B.

IE, Seems like a description of mourning and you do it with such intensity and mood changes that take me for an interesting ride. The poem seems to end with thoughts of what's lost and fades with the final ellipsis. The ending technique you use makes the intensity of the feeling seem to run to infinity. Very strong and powerful write. Smiles and hoping you are well!!

A beautiful and tender poem about your beloved... Your use of grammar and poetic techniques is a wonderful analogy to described love and romance.. so many wonderful endearing lines like "as Y o u, my beloved are enough...the poetic pause breathing between stellar heartbeats of the mourning sky." When we are mourning we just need a loved one to hold and comfort us and bring that warmth when we feel cold and lost... Peace and blessings dear.

Another gem from your pen. Probably such space is needed for creating silence. It is in such silence that we think deeply about life and its true meaning. Otherwise, we will be like a vessel drifting along the waves with no destination in view. Heartaches make us much more resilient and strong. "the poetic pause breathing between stellar heartbeats of the mourning sky~ punctuating promises mirroring the magnetic equations of l o v e ~" Beautiful lines. Love is enough. 'To have loved and lost' is far more fruitful than 'never to have loved at all.' Dear Empress, your poems amaze me. Into my FAVE

midnight mocktails - how that sits upon my prose, love it. Felt this one, lived this A LOT to eventually land harmoniously soulmate blissed. A heart must, my life's told me, scar before it can fully appreciate and embrace how wonderful functional and fulfilling love is. Be golden ... CayCay

Such strong emotional bonds and intricacies of love, desire, and the silent gaps that exist between people dearest Ink. It delves into themes of isolation and intimacy, depicting love as a cosmic force that links two souls despite physical and mental obstacles. The picture of stars and the universe implies that love transcends earthly bounds, while the references to quiet and longing elicit yearning and melancholy. Your vivid vocabulary heightens its emotional impact. Words like "wistful," "weeping," "suffocating," and "mourning" elicit sentiments of melancholy and desire, but "grateful," "beloved," and "serene" convey a sense of serenity and gratitude.

Amazing and so very hooked into conciseness - almost like cosmic messages sent into space that take light years for a response to be returned with no guarantees. Creates romantic imagery of tapping a version of morse code, hitting send and then staring at the stars lost in thought. Beautiful!
