Written for the artwork done by Simone Edward called " Butterfly woman Beautiful Aesthetic Watercolor" found on artstation.com

The sun’s sparkling streaks, of sangria grace, descend upon the malachite verdant valley; world of pristine mountains, and evergreen tales of rainbow hued meadows. Where medieval castles are guarded with a fragrant fortress of blushing flowers, enveloped in topaz gold beams. She walks along the fields of redolent reveries, where hope sprouts like the rising moon- whispering secrets to the whimsical wind, in mystical musicality, whilst butterflies rest upon her ebony hair, choreographing a three dimensional ballet in ethereal delight, cradling and mirroring the dancing spirit in emerald elegance. Her chrysalis heart nurtures their sanctuary with sanguine serenades, for she is the queen of azure wings, dressed in timeless mists; her mind is wrapped in kaleidoscope clouds draped in pearl crescent dust, fluttering and twirling with twinkling stars between fragile thin veins, like delicate petals woven from a tapestry of thriving dreams. Yet the sound of unsung songs drift along shadowed skies- of champagne and rosemary rays, fleeting like waning colors, longing to spread floral arms, to sketch watercolor paintings from dandelion desires- to be heard and seen beyond the creek of thorns and thistles, as peacock feathers soar amongst petrichor leaves swaying to the celestial tunes of her life- amidst raining regrets a devoted warrior never lets eclipsed spheres dim their light upon her sight.

such eloquence and grace in your words, dearest Ink. I've loved butterflies since a child, enthralled with their short-lived beauty. You've captured their essence beautifully through your words and images, so flawlessly placed, line by line. Your words seem magical, almost mystical. I liked: her mind is wrapped in kaleidoscope clouds draped in pearl crescent dust, fluttering and twirling. You possess a truly artistic talent. I'm in awe! Have a splendid day, Sara

I looked up the artwork you mentioned in your note, and of course, it is worthy of the poem you wrote and the form you chose. Wonderfully descriptive of the creation, Ink. She walks along the fields of redolent reveries, where hope sprouts like the rising moon-whispering secrets to the whimsical wind, in mystical musicality, whilst butterflies rest upon her ebony hair--yes, simply beautiful!

This poem is the true definition of 'Artistic & Ethereal', yesss.. That's how I will describe your work, although it needs infinite adjectives to actually praise every stylistic detailing you've done.. Just as a sculptor, sculpturing the masterpiece with exquisite creativity.. Perfectly shaping it! My gosh, this is definitely one of my FAV poems from you- just like Ink's signature style. Your imageries are profound with metaphors and alliterations flowing in a heavenly confluence, I'm awestruck

You've so brilliantly extracted the eloquent essence from the picture and described it in a magically poetic way, which I can't get enough of and I want to just read this again and again.. Describing an eternal soul, this looks like a pure reflection of your heart, how your spirit saturates in the beauty of the nature yet is a unique gorgeousness in itself.. That ending where you've described about her strength and that no eclipsed spheres can dim her light.. Wow, just amazing~ Love this so much!
