sometimes when you look at the sky, shifting colors, adorned with stars do You think of your loved ones , resting in love? 

Written for the contest " jolted by twilight" sponsored by Dilly Dally

tonight …I’ll romance scented silence
 as dusk kisses the heart of harlequin horizon~
dripping memories ~ in cacophonous clemency…
but to feel the finesse flames of love,
illuminating the trembling tip of a sizzling skyline,
   I’ll draw a smoky stairway to the stars;
an ambience of garnet granules… shifting, in crooning colors…
for between the rising sighs of the sun
   and the setting eyes of the moon ~ farewells float;                 
   like ineffable verses frozen in timeless rhythm..
I ponder, is the sky a gloaming mirror of eternal footprints,
   unveiling hallelujahs of heartbeats in heaven? 
as I still hear your song, paused on repeat, in our favorite chorus…

   ~ perhaps I am a word dreamer ~
     saturated in weeping winds;
        trembling from poetic fever
          jolted by twilight tremors
  bursting forth acrylic dews 
               in pigments of pensive blue…

Dearest Empress, Wow, you took me on personal mesmerizing journey through emotion and imagery. I love how you blend the ethereal with the intimate, creating a swirl of emotions. You are so creative and the idea of twilight as a backdrop for reflection and connection is beautifully expressed. I love this line “ perhaps I am a word dreamer ~ saturated in weeping winds.” This is one of your captivating pieces that truly lingers in the mind! A Fav!! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Dear Empress, I wonder how I missed this beauty. I have been away on a small family tour for two days. Coming back, I wrote poetry for two contests. Now with the house getting painted, everything is in a mess, no place even to sit. I must say that this is one of your best, nay the very best. Stellar..! How the twilight induces tremors of memories of past love and how you slip into longing. Beauty and sorrow walk hand in hand and make an exploration into times gone. "I ponder, is the sky a gloaming mirror of eternal footprints, unveiling hallelujahs of heartbeats in heaven? as I still hear your song, paused on repeat, in our favorite chorus"… What imagination! Hearty Congratulations sweet friend on your podium win. This goes into my FAVE.

IE, I imagine this as a reflection of who you are and how you think about people. I love that you have fondness for what has come before and think about the past with an element of questioning and mystery. We do live in an amazing universe, and how wonderful it is to find ways to honor the past and what has come before. Smiles!

Thanks for the 'pigments of pensive blue'. Word dreaming to me is like music, when you have half a tune and you need to find the rest, it goes round and round in your head. J :)

So awesome, Sweetie. Loved the transition you made from longer lines to shorter. I am not totally sure, but I think she said to use her title jolted by twilight.

Your deep words seem sad in a loss. The chorus softens the distance and adds a contrast that shows your rare talent. Metaphors are the sparkle of this story. Good luck with the contest.

Dear Ink Empress it has been a while, since I read one of your poems... There are so many layers in your poem - love, memory and creative spirit.. Your use of adjectives to describe things is excellent as always, never lose your true style of writing... Through sensory imagery, musical language, and introspective reflection, you take readers into a deeply personal experience of longing and artistic passion. The layered imagery and poignant metaphors resonate with anyone who has felt the pull of memory, the ache of lost love, or the need to express complex emotions through art.... I've not experienced any of those things though... take care
