Pearls at Your Feet

I watch pink-blue horizons
as visions of your face
fade in the sinking sun
burn me in flames of your grace.

Reflections of satin white seas
open and shut walls
the Elysium of endless dreams
where shadow and light fall.

Nameless on these pages
weaving sweet tapestry
in sonnets, poetic sequences
as every word comes rapidly.

Secrets of your heart
touched by subtle motions
rise with a rising star
at the start of profuse notions.

Gems of topaz
on your caramel hands
sun rain angels dance
in a lover's trance.

Let me play a sonata
as silver moons glide
the muse, Hakuna Matata
you by my side.

Every inch of you is beautiful
curves, your body petite
yesterdays were forever few
I lay pearls at your feet.

I disappear into an ocean of people
leaving paths of sweet jade
until we meet again in the regal
among diamond blue shades.

The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "Pearls at Your Feet" is a romantic and dreamy piece that paints vivid images of love and longing. The use of vivid descriptions and sensory language helps to create a sense of atmosphere and mood that transports the reader to a world of passion and beauty. The poem is structured in a way that feels natural and flowing, with each stanza building upon the previous one to create a cohesive narrative.

One of the strengths of the poem is its use of metaphor and imagery to convey the emotions of the speaker. The pearl motif, in particular, serves as a powerful symbol of love and devotion, and the repetition of the phrase "pearls at your feet" throughout the poem helps to reinforce this theme. The use of color imagery, such as "pink-blue horizons," "satin white seas," and "diamond blue shades," also adds depth and texture to the poem.

However, there are a few areas where the poem could benefit from some revision. For example, in the line "in the sinking sun burning this love-torn embrace," the phrase "burning this love-torn embrace" feels a bit awkward and forced. A possible revision could be "in the sinking sun, our embrace torn by love's burning grace."

Overall, "Pearls at Your Feet" is a well-crafted and evocative poem that captures the passion and beauty of love. With a few minor tweaks, it could be even stronger.

use of color in this piece, makes it a kalideoscope
of emotion and a portrait of romanticism. I think the use of 'burning'
is what you are seeing; the sun dipping below the horizon, is producing a flare of red?
I think changing the line to match the line given by the AI, would make a change in the meaning
of it. How about?:

"The sinking sun burns this love-torn embrace."

Of course, the advice is, twist it, use it or abuse it, always applies, use it verbatim,
twist it like you want it or kick it to the curb. ~ Geezer.

Thanks for the comments. And thanks for critiquing my work. I will definitely change that word in the line.

I enjoyed your poem. The imagery and word choices are romantic and whimsical.

However, I see that you have submitted that to the "love poems" contest. You have to be mindful of the "open to new participants" or "concluded" indicator on the contests lists. That was a contest from 2019, long gone.

Take care,
Kelsey

And I love the way you worked it into the poem

Every inch of you is beautiful
curves, your body petite
yesterdays were forever few
I lay pearls at your feet.

Love that stanza
Tim

Thank you Tim.
