Would Love Breathe Forever?

Sometimes, when 
your sparkling spirit 
waltzes with me 
to the perfumed 
periwinkle grooves 
of saffron breezes, 
I'm lost in a forever gaze, 
within those 
flickering ferns
of a nascent nightmare, 
where I ain't any 
velvet-purple orchid, 
which gets saved in 
every mellifluous 
moment by the 
sacrosanct touch of your 
sempiternal fingertips. 
I fear, what if I were a 
translucent roseate, 
while lilac lips 
not fully stained with 
crimson syllables 
of poetic affection, 
would you still 
drape my soul in 
succulent chartreuse 
sepals of your 
silken embrace? 

What if my skin 
were an artisan's 
flawed gold-fabric, 
would you trace 
kohl runes in my 
imperfect veins, 
or cherish the 
warmth of my cosy 
cherry- embroideries 
laced with floral
brocades of our 
dawning dreams? 

Will you still 
carve sunset's 
soft tapestries 
on my archaic 
terracota-pages, 
and hue a hyacinth-
harmony of harp, 
upon my moon-
dyed soul, 
if ever our love's 
scarlet star forgets
to twinkle in 
verbena verses 
carved along the
wisteria of midnight? 

I wonder if, 
our heartbeats 
will melt in 
sanguine autumn 
rays of afterlife, 
when our souls 
are locked in 
winter's frosty beams 
yet evanescent 
in glossy lakes 
of butterfly-serenades, 
sung by summery 
elixir of spring.

What if my heart 
had lost its 
sunburst soulful 
similes stretching 
across platinum psalms 
and engraved these 
marine metaphors 
as immortal wrinkles 
in the dying 
leaflets of iced 
cyan hours? 
What if I were a 
forsaken breath 
of poesy? 
Would you still 
sequin the
scarlet letters 
of stelliform - 'Hiya' 
with silky cream-
pearls of your
lazuline eyes, 
would you still love me, 
if I weren't a poet? 

So, when the 
gossamer glass 
of blue crescent 
has broken, 
please reminisce 
those unspoken 
ruby rhymes 
within amaranthine 
aroma  of poetry, 
sewn with solivagant 
threads of invisible 
illustrations along 
those sandalwood 
shorelines, where,  
I would've been 
caged by the
blackbirds of 
terrestrial time. 

Evermore, I will 
still cherish 
our serendipitous 
eden in sun's 
amber canopies, 
wishing you to be 
my venus-glazed
muse for eternity, 
even when the 
seraphic satan, 
looking so pure, 
has erased my 
silhouette from life,
within a shimmering 
death's kiss, 
alzheimer's reaper 
has thawed upon 
vintage verses 
and parched phrases 
have breathed 
in their last belief.

"Would love still breathe, when 'You and I' are lost in waves of woe, exhuming regretful lifelines?"

This is an epic poem.. from the start to the end it is full of metaphors and descriptive word pairings that create vivid imagery through out the poem... Your opening stanza starts with a most poetic question, I fear, what if I were a translucent roseate, while lilac lips not fully stained with crimson syllables of poetic affection, would you still drape my soul in succulent chartreuse sepals of your silken embrace? It set the scene for the rest of the poem. Thanks for writing.

You certainly have a way with metaphor, just like Inky. Alzheimers reaper? I'll bet no one has ever used that before lol. Satan the fallen seraph has no claim on this beautiful poetry

Hiya, I am at a loss for where to start showering praise upon this metaphorical masterpiece. The way you incorporate flowers into your writing is simply enchanting. Your ability to create vivid mental images is unparalleled, and the choice of words you use is nothing short of breathtaking. Each alliteration you employ is flawlessly executed, and the way your ideas effortlessly flow is a testament to your skill. The profoundness in every line adds layers of meaning and complexity to your poem.

So, when the gossamer glass of blue crescent has broken and the hazel harbor of obsidian oxymorons has glistened with ruby-rusts --Just a few lines I picked out from the blossoms of your poetic heart that adorn your vocabulary. Splendid, as ever, Hiya.

Can anyone come near you in this contest? How bland my own writing will be if ever I attempt to enter this contest! So in any case I don't dare to do that! You are like a skilled mazon building an edifice laying brick on brick. Your bricks are the metaphors and images of the rarest kind and with them you sculpt beautiful structures. I am lost in your 'verbena verses'and 'agate rhymes'. Excellent Hiya!

This silences the dark and draws breathe from the light that is everlasting, embraces so gentle and so powerful, like the rainbow after the rain or the lightening piercing the stormy skies. This speaks of endless kisses, blazing passions, burning delights. This is a fire on the inside, arising to meet the insight into loving. I love this so. Beautiful. God bless you with love, Gina

Wowow where do i even begin praising this metaphorical gem? I absolutely love your use of flowers here, im sure silent one will love that. And i love the way you’ve questioned too here it goes with the prompt so well. My fave line should be “ amaranthine alliterations” “ alzheimers reaper” suns amber canopies! Ah those alliterations are flawless and your imagery is stunning and the way this flows is beyond beautiful. I think this must be one of my favorite from you. You’ve kept it so evocative and touching. And theres so much depth in your lines. How sometimes we wonder if our beloved would accept us even if we were flawed. Goodluck for the contest
