Titanium Quill

I am an unvoiced breeze~ a sea warrior kite-surfing through heinous waves, knitting cobalt chronicles from smooth syllables~ tackling chaotic currents with chamomile magic unfurled from the silhouette of a Swarovski swan, immune to the screeching nails of heartless corpses, carving blazing lies and procrastinated promises across my fragile psyche~ awakening cross-eyed demons feeding tangerine triggers concocted with bruised betrayals from familiar phases that phased trust. I sleep-walk through nocturnal nights, following silver sequined silence to bejeweled skies, while delicate arms of dusk and dawn unfold saffron scriptures of sanguine serenity strewn with lime and lavender ink, soaring across cologne-coated clouds, as astral embers envelope my aching heart, with velvety musk sprinkling dewdrops of roseate rhapsodies, like a refined rainbow ribboned around kaleidoscope eucalyptus rising amidst roots of cosmic awakening, beneath moonless melancholy, where stars wane in swollen sorrow, reflecting colorless veins of trembling tendrils and forgotten flowers. And I stretch my garnet heart to draw twinkling truths, weighing heavier than rhinestone riches that the blind worship in eclipsed emptiness, oblivious to the elysian empyrean of glass awaiting above crystalline constellations of seven sisters to serve karmic revelations on porcelain plates of hyacinth herbs. Yet I’ve long seen swinging canvases cynically flaunting spiraling spellings of splitting dusks, though I embrace immaterial cracks between aesthetic auroras, dressed in fearless feathers of regal peacocks, swirling and curling like a twirling wanderer shifting through amethyst afterglows of fine-lined sunsets, awaiting soft-spoken serenades, to soothe inner fears with subtle brushstrokes of blissful poetry, while weaving perfumed phrases amidst piercing needles and pins pricking my star-glazed strength. Perhaps tomorrow, when violet verses unveil mystical metaphors soaked in vanilla essence of eternal divinity beyond breathing lies we waltz, you’ll remember me as I am, a mere shadow of satanic seas, ascending armored in in neon plankton~ where tides surge high ferrying venomous urchins. For I am a goddess of thunder, obliterating infernal estuaries, drowning Aphrodite’s myrtles within my crown chakra. as behind glowing scars beneath electric walls, there swim synonyms of unseen steel carved from my titanium quill.

Dearest Inky, exquisite comes to mind when reading your stunning poetic art. Images, alliteration, simile and metaphor flow from your "titanium quill" like surging tides building in intensity until we "drown" in the sublime bliss of your words. Every line, every stanza is like a powerful wave washing over me as you reveal your soft soul in "karmic revelations." Stunning! Soulful! Powerful, dear friend. Best wishes for the contest. Hope you are well. May God continue to bless you! Samzy!

So, everything between I am...(and) titanium quill. The first reply is just what I want to steal the most. "A twirling wanderer shifting through amethyst afterglows of fine-lined sunsets"... I picture a beautiful maiden who the children adore, (the afterglow is her aftermath ..drowning Aphrodite’s myrtles within my crown chakra. as behind glowing scars beneath electric walls, there swim synonyms of unseen steel carved from my titanium quill.

Let me give you a standing ovation GREAT EMPRESS! Each time I read a new poem of yours, I feel it is the Best. But the next moment when you post another poem, I feel it is the best.Your wordsmithery and your ability for striking images and metaphors are unparalleled. Your use of alliteration comes so naturally that it doesn't look a consciously added embellishment, but someting that comes naturally giving a brilliant gloss to the poem."like a twirling wanderer shifting through amethyst afterglows of fine-lined sunsets, awaiting soft-spoken serenades, to soothe inner fears with subtle brushstrokes of blissful poetry, while weaving perfumed phrases amidst piercing needles and pins pricking my star-glazed strength." You can walk over fire and wade through pins and needles unhurt with your rare gift of poesy. Stay blessed with your Great Muse. Into my FAVE.

Once again, I am impressed by the poetic beauty and eloquence displayed in this poem, dear Ink. The vocabulary and metaphors used are truly exceptional, painting a vivid and captivating picture. The imagery of saffron scriptures on serene pages, adorned with lime and lavender evokes a sense of quietude. Your words carry a profound weight, akin to valuable truths. The depiction as a powerful force, capable of change, adds a layer of depth to the poem. A fave from you. BOL

As always, a fabulous display of poetic art adorns this poem, my friend. Splendid vocabulary and metaphors throughout--from you gifted pen---saffron scriptures of sanguine serenity strewn with lime and lavender ink, soaring across cologne-coated clouds--- And I stretch my garnet heart to draw twinkling truths, weighing heavier than rhinestone riches--For I am a goddess of thunder, obliterating infernal estuaries---And so much more! A FAVE!

Seems like you are a lot of metaphors, from reading your poem... I am a metaphor? OR maybe an epic poem that is long... Your in depth self analysis in your poem is an epic exploration of your human experience, expressed through an anthology of evocative imagery and profound introspection. The vivid metaphors and poetic language create a kaleidoscope of emotions and sensations, inviting the reader to delve into the depths of your contemplations and beliefs and pierce beyond your veil.. The nocturnal imagery of silver sequined silence and saffron scriptures of serenity evokes a sense of transcendence and introspection, as you navigate the intricacies of your inner soul. The metaphorical exploration of truth and authenticity, weighed against the allure of superficial riches, speaks to the eternal quest for meaning and purpose.... because that is how God would want us to be... I can see this one as a top winner in the contest...

a deep, thoughtful, and soul journey with a host of evocative emotions. I sensed your inner struggling as I read your metaphors and beautifully penned lines. Your poem was both dark but eloquent with rays of hope and peace shining through. Loved these words: For I am a goddess of thunder, obliterating infernal estuaries, drowning Aphrodite’s myrtles within my crown chakra. I love your depth and your willingness to express your deepest emotions. Admirable indeed. Enjoy your day, hugs, Sara

Your exploration of self, with all its complexities and contradictions, is both haunting and beautiful. Your words show resilience amidst the chaos, finding peace amid turmoil, and embracing the darkness within as a source of strength. You are a true wordsmith, and your work inspires and moves me deeply. A Fav! - Blessings, Daniel
