Free Falling

Stunning artwork by *Star* Music by Evanescence, thought it only fair to add this beautiful music since I stole the title...

Lost in paradise

      on the brink...

treading the edges,

~is there sanity~

       in unrestrained descent

            tragedy's fall from grace

 to that special place,

where angst and torment 

cease to exist

  Freedom floating on a dance

        without a care

         panorama's correction

 absolved by a leap of faith

             loveliness of misty azure skies

    with aliceblue clouds essence

Snapped back to stark reality,

to my dismay...

          I realize i'm awake

Well, speaking as a highly intelligent, well informed Republican who does not hold political office therefore quin has no major beef with me, I can honestly say I loved this piece. And, as far as the music goes, my volume is always turned down because between you and Dale and my slow connection, I always get the s**t scared out of me when I go onto your pages and the music decides to start playing xD

Nice artwork, too, of course.

[creativequill]

the first four lines impact hard to me :) love this frieda...is there sanity?? never, but we can pretend

[Frieda P]

All the best people are crazy, so that's how I justify that one. ;-)

[creativequill]

I enjoy surrounding myself with crazy people :) it makes life more colorful

[Frieda P]

Ha, nothing worse than being nondescript.... ;-)

One of the worst parts of dreams is being snapped back into the world. I've been with beautiful soft woman in the heat of the moment; I've driven through sun drenched vallys in a fine car; And I've walked through green hills under apple trees on perfect afternoons only to be woken by a neighbors car or kids yelling outside. Sucks I tell you!

This poem however, doesn't suck at all. (Like how I slid right into that?) Your poems always have a nice poetic feel to them and I never feel as though I've hit a brick wall mid-sentence. Another fine write Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Your response was poetry Relic, I hope you've written of these dreams, I want to read more...thanks so much.

[Relic]

Maybe someday...

Why does reality have to give the wake up call, all the time?!?!?! Love this poem Frieda..Awesomatic!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Tink! 'Awesomatic'!? ha...

[DIVYA]

It pays to let go sometimes and tumble down to that special place where there's no pain, only bliss, get refreshed and snap back to reality with a soft landing. We have no choice.

The imagery was bliss of floating in a misty blue sky and puffy white clouds. Just great Frieda!

[Frieda P]

You say it to so well Divya, thanks.

Cold and enticing. Really cool. I'm still somewhat torn every time I read free verse, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Sort of. Not really. It's great though. Although it's free verse.

[Frieda P]

What a snob you are! I love all kinds of poetry, I actually suck at rhyming, and it puts too many restraints on my train of thought which is usually all over the place...thanks I guess. ;-)

[Geon Quuin]

Hey, I'm not dissing free verse. Well, I kind of am. But that's besides the point! I'm trying to embrace it! I've been trying not to write in a very structural sense.

Amy Lee, yummy!
A dream spread on a tortured page Frieda and as always written son well.
Oh I agree with Quin. But you know we men can't multitask lol

[Frieda P]

That's not the only thing you're guilty of but we won't discuss that here. lol
