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.

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
