Nebulous Horizon

I gaze beyond the phasing face
of the nebulous horizon,
searching in clamorous silence
for a hypnotic glimpse
of your poetic sparks ~ lost,
placed within the kohl-dust
of dreariness dressed
in deceitful dancing diamonds,
like layered silver and gold,
seared by Zeus’s thunderous wrath,
leaving memories engraved
in satanic sapphires
across the tempestuous teal 
soaked in surging tears 
             unshed and unseen...

I’ve long been fighting
demons masked as the raven visage
of my bleeding silhouette,
preaching kindness whilst feeding
my soul with venomous verses ~
the poisoned truths of past turbulence.

But I refuse to drown in despair.
I will dance through the
dimmed spheres ~ eclipsed and torn ~ 
to reach the amorous arms 
of compassion,
awaiting amidst splitting sorrow.

And when it rains, 
my heart quivers,
haunted by inner thoughts;
my mind paints lines of love
in darkness and disarray,
for I fear never seeing
the saffron light on 
the moon’s tender lips.

And in the midst of 
p u s h i n g and p u l l i n g, 
trapped in aching coldness,
afraid of losing the warm,
golden strands of roseate dusk,
I hide and fade like
love’s heat at twilight,
burying the poetic longing
within storms of melancholy,
waiting for another
cup of coffee at sunset ~ 
where your name ricochets
        like reveries of romance
and your voice reverberates 
       like musical mists of monsoon,
carving an ambience 
             of delicate desires
tying me to the ombre amber
s i n g i n g songs 
             of solace, forevermore....

This poem of deep melancholy, longing and resilience is composed in beautiful alliterative verse. Even amid thunderous wrath, darkness and disarray, hope hasn't deserted you....."I refuse to drown in despair. I will dance through the dimmed spheres ~ eclipsed and torn ~ to reach the amorous arms of compassion, awaiting amidst splitting sorrow." This resilient spirit in you is highly commendable. "I hide and fade like love’s heat at twilight, burying the poetic longing within storms of melancholy", These lines cut like a rapier. As ever, excellent poetry, dear sweet Empress. All the Best.

Dear Inky, your pen dances with the ache of longing and the shimmer of hope. This piece is hauntingly exquisite—each line cloaked in emotion, draped in cosmic sorrow, yet stitched with resilience. The imagery—satanic sapphires, ombre amber, monsoon mists—is breathtaking, pulling the reader into a storm where love, pain, and poetry become indistinguishable. Your voice quivers through the silence like a whispered prayer at twilight. Simply unforgettable...Love and Light

Wow, I relate so deeply to this piece, my beautiful soul sis! It’s always like you pick my mind apart and write exactly what I’m feeling, though we are two minds! You are the only one who can write a piece with the exact thoughts and emotions that I’m going through! The artistry of your poetry truly is an inspiration and comfort to me! So breathtakingly crafted and with words you use that wow me the depths of my heart and soul!
