~if

If i trace'd upon your heartstrings, 

scripted sweet words in your name

captured moonbeams & butterflies spirit, 

if a poet's soul could ignite your essence

light the milky-way and make eyes glisten

would you be stargazing upon my face

if zest of living's experiences be captured in a word,

unfurling the mysteries of fantasies ginger

promising you eternity's sublime surrender

Would you stay to dance with me, just one more day....

Thanks so much Anand !

[Tam Warink]

...perhaps, and perhaps one might gaze upon a pure radiance. But no, this is the light of flame, of passion. You do it so well, so uniquely "Frieda." So well... there you have it. Ahem! But, be aware some day I may be off my feed (forgetting Pryde's advice) and say "this stinks"; then what? Oh, dreadful day begone hence! I shall fling myself from a shallow dune and feign death (at least till noon. Hopefully that will be sufficient apology should that day ever come.) Then lunch - I'm thinking sushi & wasabi & pickled ginger.

So poetically perfect Tam, your review always brings my heart a smile, and ahem....we'll deal with that when we get to it....the stinky ones are in the vault me thinks. ;-) Grazie mille, when's lunch?

[Tam Warink]

You like sushi?! Ah, child of the ocean of deepest rapture! ^_^ I roll my own... what's noon-ish for you? ;-)

[Frieda P]

Love the stuff, deep 6 the eel, not my cuppa tea, I tried making my own once, what a disaster...I guess I'll stick to Italiano. Perfect, casual attire me hopes. ;-)

[Tam Warink]

Absolutely casual. We provide butterfly kimonos should you desire? :)

[Frieda P]

Woo, I'm so there, perfecto! ;-)

[Gleb Zavlanov]

My reviews are getting more useless each day, since all I'm saying about how wonderful your poetry is, and I can't stop saying that! This is another incredible poem, rimmed with gorgeous imagery and harmonious words. Wonderfully penned. As a matter of fact, I wasn't really an avid fan of free verse, but your beautiful words have completely changed my views and touched my heart. :)

[Frieda P]

Hey Gleb I don't mind if you don't, ha...thanks, and wow...I'm impressed, usually rhymers tend to stick together...thanks so much my friend! ;-)

[Mark]

very sad and loving. I'm choked up by this one lady.

[Frieda P]

Awh, you're just an old softie underneath it all, thanks Mark.

[Giggling Star]

Oh Frieda - "butterflies spirit" - how delicate is that? What a wonderful poem. Loved it.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your visit and kind words stargazer.

[Teresa Elde]

That was well written and intriguing, I like how Some of it seems set in stone and some of it is still blurry.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Teresa.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Shucks yes! Who could resist such mesmerising seduction as this mellifluous and sweetly flowing piece of romantic poetry my Lady!

[Frieda P]

Woo John, you just blew my skirt up with this review, grazie mille!

A beautifully written poem with deeply written words. The last line moves me.

[Frieda P]

Dancing moves me too, thanks Lacey.

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

Nice music included here with this poem--they compliment each other well.
"IF a poet's soul could ignite your essence

light the milky-way and make eyes glisten

would you be stargazing upon my face"--this is very strong here and my favorite stanza.

Truly beautiful!

[Frieda P]

David Foster is a genius, glad you enjoyed Josie, much appreciated! Probably my favorite too.

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

Thanks again for sharing!

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your kind words!
