Ode to Elisa Laura

A fantasy-themed ode to my friend Elisa Laura, for helping to inspire me.

she is my semi-invisible friend,

yet has a voice, that speaks through

illusory atmospheres...

she ventures across distant lands

in bare feet, to feel the ground beneath,

and to be in touch, communicating with

the grass, the soil, and waterways...

she reaches gently with

silken hands through woodland

doorways, sending subtle signals

to the sorcerous folk...

she walks in a shadowed cloak,

concealing her elflike face,

magically disgusing herself

until she reaches me...

and yet, when she is close,

I have no words left

to reply.

What a wonderful Tribute, Eric!...

This is expressed beautifully...
Eli is all things wondrous and whimsical!... She exudes a mystical energy in her writes...
and whether she is silent or not, you will feel her Aura, it cannot be denied!

She is truly Magical... and yes, I am bias (after all, she's my dearest Sis, and bestie)... lol

I truly believe she is the most Eloquent Poetess, with a golden heart!

Well done!~xoxo~:)

Thank you very much, Robbie! Some of Eli's mystical energy must have rubbed off on me, I guess!!

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Thank you again!! By the way, I published part one of the "Mermaid" poem - I figured I could leave part 2 to you, for when you have the time! (So it's like a cliffhanger.)

Ahhh, she is beautiful in all ways, isn't she?! You captured her true mysterious yet kind spirit gorgeously here, Eric... I love the way you weave words around as to cloak her in the finest fabric of poetry, divine ... :)

Well written Eric very atmospheric!

[Eric Pudalov]

My dear friend Eric, this is fabulous!

How do I love the fact, you write so beautifully mysterious, and even mystic in this one.
I feel so blessed with your friendship, and I do adore the fact, you make the
personage in this, mysterious as well. ;-) The picture is stunning, because it seems,
To connect so well to your words, and meaning, and the meaning between life and death,
(for being seen or unseen). Your words bring me fantasy bliss, and you inspire me too, to
write something I had for longer in my mind, but now, I want to create it.

A fantastic piece here, it has much from my Second World,
In Elysion, and yet, your own strong voice, that makes it so unique Eric,

Thank you very much... It means much to me! -x- :)
Goosebumps!

Thank you so much, Elisa!!! Funny that it relates to Elysion...I feel as though I've been there somehow. Perhaps it is the world I go to in my dreams. (And I'm glad it gives you goosebumps.)

I'm so happy it was such a surprise, and those are the best sweet friend... you made my night! -x- :)
