Embraced by Purpurite Reveries

Every night at midnight

The purple clouds came out

To dance with the blushing sky

~~~~~

Beneath the periwinkle clouds

Dolphins flew majestically

Synchronised aerobatics

~~~~~

Marionettes being pulled

Though the lavender haze

Starfishes twirled skyward

~~~~~

Seahorses gravitised by the moon

Formed a vertical magenta chain

Hooking tails to snouts

~~~~~

Nymphs swirled up the chain

Raced to touch the moon

Left a glittery trail of lilac glow

~~~~~

The moon turned burgundy

Smiled and sparkled jubilantly

Sashayed emitting lightnings

~~~~~

Amethyst ripples on the surface

The sky dropped its diamonds

Waves celebrated the reunion

    Floored and then overexcited that I found a non-horror something of yours that I hadn't read 🀩 Like I must have blinked way too long three years ago to miss this idyllic scene of a poem. What a stunning portrait of words!

    Talk of whimsical. Brilliant.

    Purple clouds and blushing skies. What a pretty imagery. I like dolphins, they are cute. But how you described them β€”makes them seem like a symbol of calm. Star fishes as marionettes 😍 Wow, the nymphs leaving a glittery trail of lilac glow. πŸ˜ƒ I don’t want this dream to end. I’ve got 6 lines left 😭 I like it when the moon sashays πŸ’­ Now the waves are in celebration. What an amazing array of dreamy atmospheric lines, it held me outside the darkness that is within me, with every word. Outstanding! πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ€—β™₯️

    Your imagery is still just as tantalizing as the first time I read this, I am constantly in awe of your talent!! You honestly should do a book of short stories or poetry or one of each! πŸ’–

    Your vivid imagery showcased by your incomparable descriptive language of this poem just shines through to breath-takingly! I love the whimsical feel of it and yet it has such a realistic feel as the images you painted dance in the forefront of my mind! Still as beautiful as I remember it being the first time!

    Dear Dhar - You had me at "Purpureus" - put that into your translator and see what it comes up with? - *Miss you, are you taking a finger-stretching break from all of your type-tapping - Whew, who could blame you? J-Bud
