Splendor of your touch...

Etch upon my soul with resplendent golden ribbons

so that my heart shall beat within the rhythm of your rhyme

Write me sonnets of the splendor and epiphanies of poetry

pen emotion's bliss in pomegranates evocative style

I feel the earth move within the whispers of the wind

force gales and zephyrs take flight upon the senses

indescribably delicious taste of another's rapture   

"Thou art mine distant moon

Influencing the tides of mine soul

Illuminating fragile words of grief

That grieve in longing of thee, o' distant moon"

I stand in your light of radiance that dwells in the present

swoon me to another time and place of peaceful serenity

thine words written upon my skin mark its stance in perpetuity

I shall dance endlessly in the lavish brilliance of your grandeur

Author's Note

Second stanza, actually what inspired me to write this, was not written
by me but another sweet friend & lovely poet who prefers to remain
anonymous, many heartfelt thanks, you know who you are! x

Oh, oh, oh.....a poem reminiscent of Shakespeare himself, Frieda. Whomever wrote that second verse really inspired you! Your words are "resplendent golden ribbons" in this one. Dreamy romance, incredible imagery, and that photo to accompany your words....sizzling! Great work. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Woo, Shakespeare in the same breath as mine, you're too kind! Thanks, jazzed you enjoyed Lydi.

I particularly liked the entire concept of how much an impact the illumination of the moon has on, forgive me for being spiritual but, human spirit. How the general existence of something so distant could resonate within our veins and be our reason to live. The old English-like speech, I believe, has also enhanced the concept as a whole. Well done indeed, I quite like this.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Tai, I actually quite like this one myself...muchly appreciated.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I had been thinking of writing a poem with this theme but...I give up. You hold the crown. :)

[Frieda P]

Awh you touched my heart with that one Blue. I was so inspired by that middle stanza I had to fly with it..... :-)

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

That's my favorite part, too. :)

[Frieda P]

Mine too, as soon as I read it, it spoke to me. :-)

[Emerald Seas]

Sweet, sweet penning, my friend! The picture is a perfect accompaniment to your write. Some people just "reach" us in the right way, and we are hooked by their words ;) Well done!

[Frieda P]

So jazzed you like this one, I'm kind of fond of it myself, thanks so much Sirrah! :-)

[B-poet]

Loved the senuality of the picture you used here to showcase a loving depth which resonated within the concept of loving penmanship. Great work Frieda. A compelling read. :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks for such a gracious review B..muchly appreciated. :-)

[annie lee]

A beautiful, melodic structure! The pictures you include are so interesting. Your romantic poetry is very intricate and intimate, and I am a little intimidated by it.

[Frieda P]

I always love reading your reviews annie lee, intimidated really, I didn't think anything could intimidate you, thanks so much....
