Notes About The Poem

Written for the Psychedelic contest sponsored by Kai M N. An imaginary take, putting myself through an intoxicated journey of undying love.

Technicolored Trance

The forest is where trees nestle
and mushrooms sigh,
spinning electric dreams
from harlequin vines and multicolored roses…
Tonight, ink flows in a hypnotic trance,
my thoughts swirl through the
holographic ethereality,
like a pixie fairy ~ moon-walking,
above the psychedelic wilderness,
engrossed in kaleidoscopic dews,
chasing origami butterflies,
tied to the phoenix crescent,
where I see your midnight eyes
blinking like fervent fireflies,
as the air serenades an enticing anthem,
luring me to a sky sequined with
swirling amulets,
emanating secrets like rainbow raindrops
upon spring-soaked meadows
of neon sprinkles.

I ponder, will you find me
amidst the lilac haze
to paint my skin
with a fluorescent fragrance~
and scribble initials in aurora acrylic,
as this heart keeps pacing,
awaiting a tulip sunrise
while galaxies outline
the saffron rings with unicorn dust,
touching intricate layers of silence
adorned with wishful wisterias?

Perhaps this is what Alice
chased through the rabbit hole,
a violet vortex of undying love,
that lingers in lucid shades
of mosaic melodies,
for in the midst of spiraling vibrance,
my soul remains entwined with the
flickering flames
of your lunar silhouette,
as colors of constellations
choreograph this theatrical romance…
So let me close the windows
of my consciousness
like a sojourner sailing
through seas of musical serenity,
forever forgotten~
tripping in the aesthetic warmth 
of your pulsating arms.

Dear Empress, soulful poetess, I adore the wet prismatic imagery of your verse like "kaleidoscopic dews" and "rainbow raindrops" and "neon sprinkles". Of course "unicorn dust" would be prismatic to me as well. Your rich imagery and creative metaphors enthralls my emotions and imagination, as always. Congratulations for your sweet success in Kai's contest. Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

The portrayal of love here is indeed breathtaking and it has assumed the dimension of a magical fantasy. It makes you feel like you are walking in the air with the lunar crescent above you. "Tonight, ink flows in a hypnotic trance, my thoughts swirl through the holographic ethereality, like a pixie fairy ~ moon-walking, above the psychedelic wilderness," Wow.... so beautiful and ethereal. It has a dream like quality and I feel myself lost in an enchanted forest with kaleidoscopic dews and origami butterflies. You are so engrossed with his silhouette and you see his eyes blinking like fireflies. What unmatched descriptions! Into my FAVE.

Dear Ink, so happy to see you back my dear. Trust all is well? Your poem is utterly mesmerizing—a dreamlike fusion of nature, love, and surrealism. Your vivid imagery, from the lilac haze to the tulip sunrise, paints a world of tender longing and magical wonder. It flows like a living painting, pulsing with beauty and emotion. Truly breathtaking...Love and Hugs

“Fluorescent fragrance” and “wishful wisterias“ such lovely alliteration and phrases like “So let me close the windows of my consciousness like a sojourner sailing through seas of musical serenity, forever forgotten~ tripping in the aesthetic warmth of your pulsating arms.” Another gorgeous journey through your poetic world! Well done Ink Empress! Best wishes for the contest!

IE, I think you have a knack for taking us on fantastic image trips with the words you use. That you choose love as the central theme is a pleasant thing to contemplate for all of us. There seems to be a shortage of it in this world, and this poem adds a very pleasant way to think of it. Midnight eyes blinking like fireflies creates a magic place as do all the images you create. Simply amazing. Smiles!

Dear Empress, today I took a mesmerizing journey through your amazing mystical landscape. For me it was an enchanting and evocative world filled with color and wonder. "as colors of constellations choreograph this theatrical romance." There was such great interplay between nature and the cosmos filled magic that exists in both realms. Your words always inspire me to explore the depths of my imagination. Whenever I read your poems your themes of love, nature, and creativity is truly remarkable FAV! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

"as the air serenades an enticing anthem, luring me to a sky sequined with swirling amulets, emanating secrets like rainbow raindrops upon spring-soaked meadows of neon sprinkles." Wow! Whatever writer's ink you are mainlining, please share! Beautiful! "I ponder, will you find me amidst the lilac haze to paint my skin with fluorescent fragrance~" Soooo romantic! Gifted writer. "Perhaps this is what Alice chased through the rabbit hole, a violet vortex of undying love," -- what all writers chase, and hope to catch as divinely and often as you do. Well, I would have to repeat the entire poem to highlight all the wonderful expressions and phases of light. Brilliant read. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
