~Poetry's Whimsy~

I thought I had dreamt you

you appeared out of  filtering light

as though you could read my mind

you asked me to dance

violins were playing a vibrant tango

you glided me across the floor

as if two entangled butterflies

floating on air

caught my breath in a whisper

no words could escape

we spoke with our eyes

melting into each other's hearts

I felt a zephyr blow my hair

realized you had placed wildflowers there

I found you in poetry's machinations,

   endearingly perpetuating my capricious whimsy

"I felt a zephyr blow my hair
realized you had placed wildflowers there

I found you in poetry's machinations,
endearingly perpetuating my capricious whimsy"
This poem is like flowing on the air , dancing in the meadows , soaring above the clouds. You perpetuate the dance of life within all the distractions and noises...:)

Wow Sami, what a lovely review, thanks so much, you've brought the end of day to a close with a smile on my face my sweet friend. :-)

This is so beautiful, to dance with one of the most tender loves; "Poetry" is an art, and you maked that visible to us through your soft, words Frieda, you two just merge beautifully here. Brava!

Hello, would you care to dance...oops sorry, I got caught up in the moment. Free and easy and filled with desire. Whimsical words by a wonderful woman.

As if two entangled butterflies...how beautiful is that.

Lovely my sweet friend, lovely.

This lines speak it all. Good one Frieda

Entangled butterfies bring on very emotional pictures for me. I loved this poetry full of pretty, airy imagery. You suceed totally in what you set out to do here Frieda...creating beautiful, heart-warming poetry for hopeless romantics like me.

Love at first sight never spoken so dearly, until you realize that much time has passed since you've fell head over heels in love with the One. I especially loved the lack of time, yet the full presence of it, as oxymoronical as it sounds.

I like the romantic quality of this one Frieda especially, these lines:
"caught my breath in a whisper
no words could escape
we spoke with our eyes
melting into each other's hearts"

Touching read.

Indeed a whimsical, dreamlike and flowing piece with a gentle feel.

Frieda What a dance. Violins and the tango please let me live in your poem. I want to feel "zephyr blow my hair" and "realized you had placed wildflowers there"

And the ending was fabulous as well.perpetuating my capricious whimsy. Yes Yes please.

I love how you often the use word Zephyrs. It makes me think of music and my friend Zephra :) This poem is really cute, I love its flow and how light hearted it feels. This violins and tango stanza is my favorite, it was so descriptive that even over my PINK music I could hear violins in my head :)
