star-stitched silence

in her star-stitched
           s i l e n c e
she breathes ~
     glass-winged h o p e 
weaving angelic hymns
          with lilac light
like a ballerina
      draped in chiffon ~
pirouetting through poetry
amidst dusk kissed
  by gloaming gold,
s w i r l i n g 
               origami spring
into a sky full
  of paper planes
fleeting with
        sakura secrets
serving the sinister
                 and serene
with citrine smoke
                 of seraphic dust…

so let  l o v e  rise
as the maternal Goddess 
      of nocturnal hours
she seeks
   not the cursed
       and crestfallen ~
familiar faces 
     masked
with jilted jasmines
     and eagle feathers 
lurking in 
        psychedelic shores
             awaiting the downfall ~
like crashing comets
phasing upon the
         lamented lighthouse
flickering
   fickle flares
of pained
          perspectives...
for the ones that sleep
      in tree-high-retreats
counting frozen sparks
         can never seize
as she is the
        sunflower sigh
that dreams between
     shifting colors
                  of azure leaves 
a metaphor molded 
from
  the silver
             of the moon’s ink
forgotten by thistles 
                    and 
           thorns of t i m e ….

"like a ballerina draped in chiffon ~ pirouetting through poetry". Dear Empress, you are indeed a ballerina, pirouetting through poetry. Life is one of thorns. yet love is a magic potion that can set right relations gone awry. Ignore masked faces 'with jilted jasmines and eagle feathers lurking in psychedelic shores'. Also forget the thistles and thorns of life and carve your own fate. Your alliterations are simply superb. Another masterpiece.

Dearest Inky, once again your poetic gift of imagery jumps off the page to embrace me in a caress of beauty. Your alliteration makes your words flow in a lyrical waterfall. Love the beautiful metaphor for love. Dear friend your writing gifts all who are privileged to read it crossing borders and time! Sending you Easter blessings of joy!
