~~Le Petit Mort

translation~the little death

dreamers floating on starlit cotton candy half way to the moon

signs of celestial bodies memories flaming in unison

lost in a trance of artistic delight of tenuous heights

wanderers meet on a plain halfway between nirvana

thunderous roar of passion's brazen bounties

no words to explain the shadow dance of aching 

falling to earth in pools of sinful ecstatic pleasure 

a small death of harmonious concourse to heaven's gates

Yes a girl has to do what a girl has to do to the music! Nice and full of yearnings ache.

[Frieda P]

[Sami Khalil]

I'm so ecstatic now for I like ecstasy and this lovely poem ...I feel in a nirvana...Thank you for penning...:)

[Frieda P]

Ahh Nirvana is good, thanks so much Sami :-)

[Sami Khalil]

So true...You are welcome...:)

[Jack...]

I am truly at a loss for words. This is so exquisite and you will never cease to amaze me, even if I live forever, is all I can come up with at the moment

[Frieda P]

Exactly how I like my men Lol ;-) Thanks Jack!

[Rita L. Sev]

To fully appreciate an ecstatic experience, we must die to the moment before... wonderful poetry here, Frieda! The title immediately called to mind Melissa Etheridge's "Angels Would Fall":

"I want it more than truth, I can taste it on my breath, I would give my life just for a little death..."

Two great poets now singing in my head... ;)

[Frieda P]

Holy Rita, I"m giving this review 100/100 me in the same breath with Melissa, holy... ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

:) She, like you, is one hell of a poet, and one ballsy lady! (now as for "holy...") ;)

[Frieda P]

Just caught this Rita! very funny ;-)

[lee von cleef]

Do not touch, now say it in french, ? Noi toush pa.

[Frieda P]

Ha, what fun is that lee?

[lee von cleef]

as she sits , why do I think ? , more easily, more frequently and more intensely: Kegel.

[Mark]

I like the cotton candy reference and the 'halfway' comments with only one boundary each... poses questions about where, direction, flow. 'halfway to the moon', 'halfway between nirvana'. From the heart and soul. :)

[Frieda P]

The decision is yours Mark, thanks ;-)

[DCT ponderings]

Frieda this is incredible. I have always love the french for very phrases such as this......Le Petit Mort...what a spectacular title. Then your words to describe this ecstasy.....I'm undone.

I believe have just died a little death in your words ;) Thank you.

[Frieda P]

Wow DCT, I'm dancing to your review, thanks so much! ;-)

[DCT ponderings]

No seriously Thank you...... ;)

[Frieda P]

Lol, thanks anyway, glad you enjoyed it so much ;-)

[An owl on the moon]

The words arouse such a passionate place of bliss and wanting... that rhythm too often lost to the overwhelming needs forced on us by the world... Oh, would that we could all escape here at least once a week and be refreshed! Sigh...

[Frieda P]

Woo a sigh from Craig, now that made my day sir.

[An owl on the moon]

Sigh sigh sigh... a few more.. for the weekend! :)

[Frieda P]

Are you trying to make me pass out? ;-)

[An owl on the moon]

Sending several tall, muscular doctors to be there to catch you if you fall. They earn extra cash on the weekend as pole dancers.. just a hobby! ;-)

[Frieda P]

Lmao, are they Latino dancers? ;-)

[An owl on the moon]

Well, what other kind of pole dancing doctors are there?! :D

[Frieda P]

facepalm!! xD

[An owl on the moon]

Enjoy.. their gps is directing them to your extended hand. ;D

[Frieda P]

I'm all out of dollar bills ;-)

[An owl on the moon]

When I said it's for Frieda, they started pulling out their own money! ;)

[Frieda P]

Now you've got me rolling hahaha ;-P

[An owl on the moon]

Good! They'll think you're on fire! ;-p

[kublakhan27]

Oh my heavens, this one took me totally by surprise...I wasn't expecting something like this on the heels of the last one, but it's gorgeous...it's almost an ecstatic counterpart of sorts...maybe it's the music that has me thinking that ;P And there's something about cotton candy...it seems to bring a lift to even the saddest piece...wonderful work love :)

[Frieda P]

Love it if I can surprise attack you, laughing at the cotton candy too. ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha it doesn't happen often, enjoy it ;)
