Stars of Clarity

Striving for silver linings in the ebony of the equinox I chased my dreams of idealism to stop the endless maroon anguish shadows Yet your words failed to sing a symphony of mosaic joy You made me a passenger aboard your sinking submarine, submerging me in dusky waters Still, I sought citrine rays from your striped sentiments But your tokens of pronounced love were coated with artificial sweetener With you, there wasn't a glint of Tuscan hope You evolved into a half-crescent dimmed ray, unable to provide an orchestra of ruby adoration You kept flicking pale stardust particles of desire upon my crooked eyes Like Venus strives to expropriate its fervour to the planets, I extended my components to the cobalt sky Pleading to the palls to summon your gaze in a summer resurgence of buoyant daffodils Yet your irises became polluted with onyx hostility in an everlasting winter of icy-white discontent I sought solace in fluid-intoxicated spirits and with futile alleys Until I realised that my answers lay within my perspective I looked past the earth to the dulled lit glimmers I'd so often dismissed their transmissions idolizing their sterling pilot Until one day, I thought to invite the stars of clarity to enlighten my sanity As I was always an outcast overlooked for the lustrous lights They advised me to seek an interior inauguration of self-love light My soul opened its greyed logic to their illuminated intellectual insight.

Dear Sabrina, I’m not sure where to begin praising this brilliant and ethereal piece, how creatively you’ve used colors to paint such descriptive imagery in such vivid manner, I absolutely love the opening stanza, it drew me right in and i couldn’t help but be in awe throughout as i read every line, it has an evocative touch with such beauty that fits the prompt, and is a very deeply meaningful poem. Worthy of first place. Congratulations on your win. Thank you for sharing
