~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~

[Frieda P]

Your review is music to my ears, I am humbled Tai, thanks so much.

[The 13th Eros]

There is a succulent, dark extravagance in your remembrance... so powerfully evocative and alive with symbols and sweet wildness. A field of liquid fire by any other name would smell as sweet, dear poet. xx

[Frieda P]

Ah 'succulent' you always pick the best words! You slay me Eros, always...xo

[The 13th Eros]

My arrows only ever pierce and please... May your slaying ever ripple through your loins.. as we say... ;)

[Frieda P]

Ooooooo!

[The 13th Eros]

Sorry! I shot that one just a little lower.. hope it was sweet torture. xx

[Frieda P]

Very ;-) xo

[The 13th Eros]

And that was a low dose. ;)

[Frieda P]

Ha, whoa, I better take more vitamins! ;-)

[quinfinn]

when ever i read frieda, i catch myself holding my breath with each new line, because i want to take in all the energy and imagery in these wonderful words with which you paint without missing a single brush stroke. it is to no avail, for i always feel the need, the strong desire , to read them more than once anyway...breathe....read again....breathe. you slay me, posy. i love your writing. what an incredible mind!

[Frieda P]

Okay, I'm no doubt having this one bronzed and will read it repeatedly...blew me away quin, truly! Much appreciate your praise, you made my day, no my week! x

[quinfinn]

you're welcome, posy.

[Frieda P]

Seriously, you took my breath away with that one huckleberry!

[quinfinn]

[Frieda P]

Are you trying to make me blush now quin? ;-)

[quinfinn]

[Frieda P]

Cool, ha, could you tell my kids that pretty please!

[quinfinn]

happy to.... just send them down for my orientation

[kublakhan27]

Ah a poem on the seasons...that's the way to my heart ;P Well I know that's not the main theme but it does drive home the elements of constant change and discarding of the past for me...the secrets of the ages left me awe-struck...it seems like every week I'm now citing a piece as one of my favourites or my favourite outright, and I'm doing it again here...it reminds me of two writers, Jim Morrison is one, and you know who the other is ;)

[Frieda P]

Holy cats, seriously? This just stunned and blew me away, Jim &****Leonard, OMG I think I'm going to pass out!

[kublakhan27]

LOL Well you know I don't make idle statements and I wouldn't make such a comparison if I didn't mean it ;)

[Frieda P]

Next time bring smelling salts with you ;-) Love you muchly!! xo

[kublakhan27]

I guess I should cuz I seem to be good at making you pass out ;P Much love in return my friend :) xo

[Frieda P]

Hahaha now that sounded funny, I can just imagine how it read! ;-P x

[kublakhan27]

Haha I have a very understated voice...it would probably sound funny coming from my mouth ;P

[khalid]

you are an artist as well as a poetess. i love how you use your pen to draw such images, when i read this, i feel im watching very nice images with very nice fragrance as if you have drawn a picture and sprayed perfume on it then you have written a nice comment describing it..

[Frieda P]

Thrilled that you could 'see' this one khalid, such a great review, thanks so much.

Thanks Carolann, this was one of those that you start and have no idea where you're going with it, but I was pleased by the end, so I really appreciate that you liked it....x

[Carolann Dowsett]

Welcome :) xx

[Rhianne Ney]

As I recall now, I never even caught you name-nicely quoted but I think that's a disapointment in the narrator's part since she wasn't able to get his name.

Nicely written (:

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Rhianne, I meant it as we never know where or who our revelations will come from. :-)

[Rhianne Ney]

Ah, did I misinterpret it then?

[Frieda P]

It's yours to interpret as you see fit once I've sent it out into the wonderful world of WC. :-)

[Rhianne Ney]

(: Yeah, this place is truly wonderful

[Corset]

Corset, my name is Corset, lol...This is my favorite poem from you lovely lady :)

Simply beautiful, vibrant and stunning. The visions you have captured in your poem this morning have captured me. As always I sit here amazed at the words that flow from your wonderful mind.

[Frieda P]
