Written for the prompt "The darkened sky stole my Tears" sponsored by Joseph May

"The darkened sky stole my tears," replaced the heat of hurt with jewels, specks of lunar-glazed silver dust, to see me sip rose-wine reveries of midnight, where procrastinated promises and dusky dreams of the heart linger... Perhaps, I knew not my need ~ to be saved by the burning shimmers and silken shivers of your silhouette drifting through indigo azure in silence, like flickers of love long veiled in haze ~ a reflection of nocturnal thirst. If only you could undress your lyrical lens to speak the unspoken ache inscribed within infatuated ink ~ hidden beneath cerulean hymns then I would not carve kohl lines, of sleepless sighs lost to time... So unlock the garden of galactic secrets breathing within the soul of stars twinkling russet tales of twin-flames. There I'll reside, where your voice ricochets, as the devoted black diamond ~ forever engrossed in dews of desire...

Beautiful, haunting and deeply evocative poem. Your imagery, despite its melancholy, is of high degree. I feel the passion always necessary for such poems. Loved the way you use colours: "indigo azure" and the "cerulean hymns". That "devoted black diamond" is a stunning metaphor. Best for a win.

Love those first three lines in stanza three. Gotta dig infatuated ink. And I agree with your sis, dews of desires is really cool too. Excellent take on the prompt

It was a grammatical error, realized later, should be "desire" , well some of us dont use ai , so we make human errors . Thank you dahling! Appreciate your support
