~As I Recall

...and you fluttered by me,

       the sweet little thing that you were

 landed in a puddle of crimson tears

             that had pooled around my feet

the moon was full and the air still crisp

             yet I couldn't see clearly

you shared with me the secrets of the ages,

            how colors dance,  that fireflies & stars are related, 

                      and feathers are really secret messages from angels

i listened in utter amazement 

                  my eyes no longer a somber shade of grief

you touched my hand 

         and the universe had begun to sparkle

when you touched my heart 

              is when the music began to happen

                        i danced fearlessly

 on these puddles  that had become crystalline  comfort

my spirit roared with the fervor of galaxy's exploding

   a simple moment,

        a shared touched, a revival of soul

 it was then I realized the dead of winter had passed, 

spring had sprung wildflowers

     colored in zest, painted by sunshine

     that danced in fields of liquid fire

 my rapture was ignited

       in shades of destiny & hues of lusty acceptance

as I recall now, I never even caught your name

Would the woeful secret whispers of the universe be love? The ecstatic jumping of two spirits longing to join, as if destined? Love, at first site?
Twists like yours simply amaze me, and I scarcely have the brain to match. Wondrous poetry, as are all of them~

Good friend could be light out of darkness. There sign is a gift from above, they take away our tears and change them with joy. They ignite the strength in us and gives us courage. They bring sunshine in our life. They sweep us off our feet and we no longer remember our past pain. Lovely piece. I guess is love huh?

This is so beautiful...butterfliesfloating in the wind...instead of mere words --you spin golden webs to keep the reader entranced.

Loved this piece by you, my friend, especially the two lines below.

" . . . in shades of destiny & hues of lusty acceptance
as I recall now, I never even caught your name"

. . . You were just a dream along for the ride,
a pleasurable fantasy.
And we, who have always been . . .
are strangers.

Still.

Now this is befitting a queen And though it isnt erotica t behooves me to find a thing that doesn't make me feel those thoughts again
