A Journey Through A Gemstone Paradise

Post by S-a-S »

With a clenched fist I crushed amethyst,
In the palm of my hand lies purple sand,
The wind blew a kiss,
Upon the ground it did land,
Imagine a beach made of this........

Blazing orange desire, the horizons on fire,
The beach lies placid afront a sunset sky,
Protecting the sun as it tires,
As the night draws nigh,
An ocean of rippling sapphire.......

Beginning it’s hike to the edge of night,
Dusk blooms a perfect pearl shaped moon,
Rising from the twilight,
Dispelling the gloom,
Guided only by glittering starlight......

Nightly creations, diamond constellations,
Highlighting the pathway to the break of day,
Resplendent decoration,
An illuminating display,
A beautiful moon and star collaboration.....

Love requited, for a short time they’re reunited,
Under the night sky marquee they journey,
Travellers benighted,
Best friends they be,
Intrusively the looming morning arrives uninvited....

Eclipsed by daybreaks rising, dawn awakes,
Night unwillingly resigns behind the citrine skyline,
Momentarily opaque,
Now gloriously divine,
A truly precious and exquisite daily remake...

Golden sands cupped in the azure skies hands,
An ocean crystal clear, filled with the moons tears,
Sun reflecting off the strand,
This is paradise right here
I genuinely believe I’ve just found my promised land.

This reads like poetry does, your set up made me feel like i was going to read a very intelligent piece, but it slowly diminished.

Definitly poetry. Nice imagery

eh, not much i can really say about this piece. Nothing too exciting.

Nice vocab to draw the pictures in my head.

Vocab picked up, so it makes for a better read, but by this point, half my brain is sayin "ok, i get it, next topic".
Golden sands cupped in the azure skies hands,

Sun reflecting off the strand,
This is paradise right here

Ok closer, nothing too stand out about it.

I felt as if this belongs in the poem section of the forum. Vocab is nice, but after a while it felt like you were finding 1000 ways to say you like the beach. Nice read non the less, keep posting.

Cheers for the comment fella, very much appreciated, as is any feedback, whether it be good or bad. I thought i posted this in the poetry section of the forum, apologies if i posted in the wrong place, 1st time poster.

The 3rd verse is there to illustrate the journey as the 1st 2 verses are simply all about the imagery, so now you know it's going somewhere instead of it just being a poem describing various scenery.

The 5th verse makes you aware that it's changing from night to day and the journey is coming to an end. I think these 2 verses are needed to break up the imagery and help tell the story of the journey.

I think the last 2 verses are a nice ending, wrapping up the whole journey and completing the transition from night to day. It uses imagery and tells the end of the story which works....... well it does to me anyway.
