Timeless Token

If rain poured 
in susurrating sounds 
   of unshed tears,
will ungrateful dialects
change their insincere
expressions of speech,
or will this unheard
voice forever be
lost as echoes within
glass walls, 
where lilac-feathered
   letters of farewell
written in red diamonds,
illustrate illusive 
narratives of an onyx heart
haunted by 
 holographic 
       harmonies,
in glitters of retro line art~
to graphically craft
cacophonous chronicles of 
unexpressed trauma,
 engrossed in cursive candor,
while this quivering quill remains
dipped in purple
pansies and primrose poetry,
glorifying indigo intuitions
that bleed in 
 blue-black and burgundy

But, I still keep 
surfing in sizzling silence
  towards saffron-streaked
sunsets resembling
the wisteria warmth 
of your embellished embrace,
awakening from lucid
  dreams of sparkling
     silhouettes of us,
when I was uncontrollably 
lost in your 
   pillow-shaped eyes,
counting silver stars hanging 
on long lashes with lilac dust, 
forgetting the times
I was caught in the 
  riveting rhythm of
     lemonade lies.

For in your 
 amorous arms, 
every qualitative question
  within incomplete 
puzzles of life and loss,
unravels appealing answers
with carnation compassion,
upon corners of
  crumpled pages, 
where initials of 
   your flowery
name is a
   timeless token,
of love that still exists~
in this woeful world 
 of hate from heinous hyenas. 
But these starry stones 
   of turquoise trust
shall be the 
   clandestine clemency
that holds this 
unwritten tale of survival. 
For, I am unapologetically poetic~
rewriting fuschia future
   on pastel colored 
    paper parachutes,
letting go of twisted
tones cloaked with 
jealous January winds at dawn,
as cinnamon gold sequined
skies reflect magic within
   misty mirrors,
to begin again 
   as April crawls back,
knocking on the
 laser-lavender portal
adorned with teal-cerulean
   wings of our whimsical fairyland…

IE, I sense hope in this poem. I've probably mentioned it before, but you have a way of creating an emotional roller coaster of hope and lament in your work. You have such style and grace that always shine through. Beautiful descriptions. There's lasting love in store for you somewhere!

I'm so much in love with your poems. The metaphors keep me stalling. "When I was uncontrollably lost in your pillow-shaped eyes, counting silver stars hanging on long lashes with lilac dust." This covers like sheet. The dust would be so beautiful dearest Ink. I always love your way with words. Cheers

Alliteration off the charts, Ink. The pillow eyes followed up with the line about the lashes was so cool and of course there many other interesting images. Oh yes, I really liked the metaphor of paper parachutes. So what will you be doing next, Ink?

Like the title, this poem is timeless. Words of tears, hurt, and memories resonates with me. "For I am unapologetically poetic" is an important statement of the right to write.

Your alliteration is magnificent. To repeat them would necessarily repeat the whole poem. And you ended with a brilliant example. A love poem that touches the heart. Great poetry.

Your poems have immensity Ink Express; they're beautifully overwhelming (in that order). Like Sara, I remain in awe. I love "pillow-shaped eyes, counting silver stars" and "jealous January winds at dawn" Blessings

Your lovely imagery touched me deeply, Ink. I loved 'carnation compassion' and 'fuschia future,' as well as the final 5 lines. Kindest regards. :)

Dear Ink, the significance of blood diamonds lies in their deep effect, as they represent the burden of thoughts delicately performed on ethereal cerulean wings. Your poem beautifully captures the complex range of emotions that arise as April comes to a close. It is a profound portrayal of the human experience, filled with depth and meaning. Your words beautifully capture the essence of nostalgia, sadness, and the resilience to forge ahead. Your writing is masterful in its use of vivid imagery and metaphor, effortlessly guiding readers through the intricate depths of human emotion. It invites them to explore a world filled with introspection and strength.

Blood diamonds pay in memories carried by cerulean wings. April crawls back and the pendulum you wrote, swings of the emotions that parachute, appealing for answers and their reasoning. An epic poem, dear Ink Empress

If rain poured in susurrating sounds of unshed tears, will ungrateful dialects change their insincere expressions of speech,... No, I believe it would not.. You are the metaphorical queen of emotional expression and your poem poem beautifully captures the complexities of emotion, weaving together imagery and metaphor to evoke a sense of longing, loss, and ultimately resilience. The use of vivid colors and sensory details immerses the reader in a world of introspection and introspection
