Notes About The Poem

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

twilight tremors

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…

Valsa George November 15, 2024 at 1:40 AM 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.

Andrea Dietrich November 9, 2024 at 11:11 PM 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. Ink Empress November 9, 2024 at 11:31 PM Thank you so much sweet andrea, she mentioned to use jolted by twilight as a prompt. So im not sure if that means title. Its ok atleast she inspired me to write. Her prompts are always so inspiring. Grateful always for your support

Hilda Greenhough November 9, 2024 at 7:58 PM 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. Ink Empress November 9, 2024 at 11:32 PM Awwn dear hilda! Your comments are always so beautiful and sweet. Thank you so much truly

Silent One November 9, 2024 at 10:57 AM 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 Ink Empress November 9, 2024 at 11:21 AM Dear silent one thank you, yes its nice to hear from you, you dont experience complex emotions? Thats nice. I like to write when im feeling things. And i dont deliberately use adjectives ~ i just go with the flow when in a zone. Grateful always for your kindness and support. Sending you light always ~
