Zephyr

“Peace is found amidst seclusion. When zealous zephyrs emanate lilac light for lovers, longing for a poetic paradise” ~ Poet 

 Close your eyes, lend your ears~
to the Universe…
In silence you will hear
the turquoise seas
call my name
every full moon,
carrying tunes of 
teal green breeze,
manipulating my mermaid psyche
to fabricate a mystical island,
from scattered sandbanks
afloat lyrical lagoons. 

Tonight, the winds keep 
talking about you and I;
truth behind your fate,
an unwritten destiny of a planned 
hideaway to a poetic beachside,
where a delicate rose
dressed in thornless moon rays,
awakened my desire to sail away,
but I know when
   time comes,
you’ll be gone. 
Nothing stays constant
in this inconsistent world
where sleep is the only comfort.

Yet, my heart still 
grieves over your death,
as you’re the phantom 
in my dreams,
and the balmy
   breeze of life 
wants you to know,
my soul longs to see you,
reflecting our 
enclasped silhouettes,
across silvery ripples, 
whilst I allow zealous zephyrs
to read you 
these unspoken poems
infused with 
suppressed sentiments,
while opium dusts 
of stars intoxicate
my mind to embrace us,
to whom, I’ve been weaving
colorful confessions,
in rhythmic notions.

Close your eyes,
lend your thoughts 
to the rising sun, 
I am not silent anymore,
I am silence,
strong enough to allow you
to take me by the hand;
swim against satanic tides.

For I’ve heard sea birds
sing soothingly;
there’s always
 a ribboned ray of rosemary
   light at the cusp of loneliness~
 to the ones that allow their eyes
to see beyond eclipsed realms.

Remember you’ll find paradise
    in dimmed spheres, 
evoked from 
   savage sunbeams,
but aren’t we 
  the architects 
that can cast away 
  shipwrecked lies? 
to welcome sacred nightfalls
savored in infinite saffron streams
of cosmic delight,
navigating forever, as 
soulmates meant to be,
reunited within 
  an everlasting embrace,
where iridescent rain pours~
a planktonic spell upon 
  edges of sea-glass,
piercing through 
   this aquatic spirit.

I am not going to praise your poem with the usual comments, nor reproduce parts of it. Suffice it to say that your description of a zephyr is written in high-quality poetic achievement and deserves a win. Special mention on the great choice of words. May I fly into your poem like the zephyr?

Hi Empress, your mind is a repository of smooth flowing images and powerful metaphors that never gets exhausted. How can you think so differently.....! Tossed between love and longing this poem undertakes a journey into the deep recesses of the mind. You have drawn the images from nature. You long for that balmy breeze of life to blow into your life once more. There is the thrill of love and the pain of loss in the poem. Some of your word coinages like "lyrical lagoons, thornless moon rays, shipwrecked lies" etc are so catching. After reading your poem I enjoy the delight of being lost in a poetic paradise.,

Dearest Empress, what a genuinely mesmerizing journey into the depths of longing and introspection with intricate imagery and heartfelt emotion. I loved the seclusion amidst turquoise seas and lyrical lagoons, which evoked a sense of mystical enchantment, drawing me into a world of poetic paradise. Your very artistic words dance with longing and desire, encapsulating the bittersweet ache of love and loss. Through your poetic words, you invite me to embrace the beauty of the present moment and find peace in the eternal rhythm of the universe. It's that even amid life's tumultuous seas, there is a sanctuary of peace and love waiting to be discovered. Empress, I loved it from every angle, and definitely a FAV. - Blessings, Daniel

A beautiful blend of emotions and spirit of nature--dwelling in a meaningful dialogue of emotions, my friend. --I am not silent anymore, I am silence, strong enough to allow you to take me by the hand---where iridescent rain pours ~a planktonic spell upon edges of sea-glass--- shining in your poetic prowess, as always, Ink.

An interesting take on the contest.. Your poem is a stunning imagery woven with the threads of cosmic imagery and profound emotions. The opening invitation to 'Close your eyes, lend your ears to the Universe' sets the stage for a voyage into the depths of the soul. The interplay of nature's elements—the turquoise seas, moonlit shores, and balmy breezes—serves as a backdrop to the speaker's yearning for a love that transcends earthly bounds.

Your words are rich zinfadel. For those who do not drink, your words are like a Black Forest gateau. I could get lost in your melancholy words. So many great lines that I will not recite. Damn, I wish I could write like you. In comparison, I'm a pencil pusher and you are sublime calligraphy.
