Swarovski Sunset

When the first glimpse of silver crescent sprinkles citrine dust, sparkling pink brooks spring forth, flowing through emerald green forests. Moss covered Pine trees spread their branches, reaching towards the setting amber sun. Cherry blossom clouds coat the dusky horizon, unfurling lilac lavender hues amidst the paper-cut skyline, and the last beam of light starts to fade into nocturnal bliss. The twilight nightingale can be heard, comforting us in the distance. Lulling us to a restful slumber under the star blanketed stratosphere. And something about the way warm marshmallow threads entwine with mulberry tints, reminds me that every ending is a synonym to new beginnings. Yet, I tell the caviar smeared sunsets about our secret collaborations, questioning the glowing gold of Swarovski rings splattered across the evening sky, incensed with the fragrance of jasmine that lingers on the summer breeze. Will blushing sangria streaks, stretch their feathers, paint my blazing heart of hurt in vermilion stars? or is this love, another passing phase, like the waning sighs of moonrise?

Dear Ink Empress, such magical, transformative beauty happens in the glory of a Swarovski sunset across the horizon and in the glorious spill of your intoxicating pen across the poetic page. Beautiful use of color, gemstones and enchanting imagery in this impassioned love story. I especially love your last stanza for a breathtaking finale!

Congratulations on your win, Ink! I can't keep up. A delicately described magical land of magic sunsets, from faraway eyes, verses as vivid as can be. Uniquely prepared words together like a string of pearls..."paper-cut skyline, and the last beam of light starts to fade into nocturnal bliss" questioning love at the end stanzas. Poetry so fine! xoxo Anaya

Yes, love or what one thinks is love can be only fleeting and passes swiftly away. Very descriptive and expressive lines penned. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Crystals sure do gleam with this beautiful swarovski sunset title, already I'm in love. When I read this I'm transported to this mesmerising terrain, where the auras of the orange and pink dusted skys bleed with “ emerald green forests. Moss covered Pine trees” …yum! I love moss covered anything's! A tropical paradise in the sway of a poet breath, your words, oh Ink how you elicit and evoke such clear pictures of beauty. A gift you effortlessly have “gold of Swarovski rings..” my fav line. Love

Ahh, you're so good. My fave stanza is #2. Picturing a nightingale's song, along with the tree frogs and crickets, serenading two lovers to sleep under a violet moon and a canopy of twinklers. Who wouldn't fall in love with this sweet poem?

Hi f.f , did you find out now what swarovski means? Sometimes, as a reader I come across words or things i dont know too, but when i read the whole sentence, i can decipher what something means. “ swarovski” is a famous brand for jewelry as in gems And not everyones interested in jewelry. You are not uncultured at all, Thank you for your visit.

We have a resort near our home called Sparkling Hill. It’s owned by Swarovski. They should print and frame this piece.

Your Free Verse flows so smoothly and gives us such vivid imagery, it is a pleasure to read each verse. I especially liked your closing verse in this one, Ink. "or is this love, another passing phase, like the waning sighs of moonrise?" It is true, we can only know Love in the moment; everything else is projection, and vulnerable to misgivings. Thanks for sharing your unique thoughts with us through your poetry, my friend. Bill

Ahhh..your poems, I really have not enough words to express how it touches me and resonates so deeply, my beautiful soul sis! I honestly love this whole piece and every word uttered is such a masterpiece! The depth that flows and the ebbing of emotions, keeps me at edge! Gripping onto each word, speaks to me so profoundly, ahh..and the emotions here are so raw and vulnerable..piercing us within, but you are right, every ending is a new beginning, to grow stronger, and wiser—moving forward.

Dear Ink, this is truly exceptional and will leave a lasting impression. The abundance of alliterations and metaphors in this poem sets it apart on a grander scale that many of us could only dream of reaching. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to delve into the world you have created through your words. Your ability to bring the setting sun to life with your magical words is awe-inspiring. You possess the talent to craft your words like a skilled artist painting a vivid picture on canvas.
