~Fly Me to the Moon~

Yes, I stole the title from Ol' Blue Eyes...

Take me by the hand,

          and fly me to the Moon

where fairies play

       & incandescent posies bloom

they dance on rainbows,

        skip on candy coated clouds

Take me on a Riverwalk

         when the sun dips for the night

we'll talk until the wee hours

               of  a new dawn's morn

under stars that glitter 

     with flushes of flashing harmony

perhaps a whisper or two

     whilst we dine on oysters & fine wine

Fill my head with notions of bliss, 

         & sweet forget~me~nots

if you ask me to dance

          perhaps, I'll take a chance

sweetly coo a melody for me

      adorning song worthy of a trance

we'll gaze at the sky, 

       see our own reflections

in the light cast

            upon our hearts in tune

If you take me by the hand, 

                   and fly me to the Moon

OMG This site is going to give me an aneurysm someday...I just spent fifteen minutes pouring my heart into this review cuz I was so touched by this poem, and the site glitches out and erases it...damn it...this is not the kind of thing I need happening to me today...anyways...

I will now try to retain the important bits the best I can: Any man who does not feel the need to extend a hand upon reading this piece is a fool...it reads like an invitation to an emotional utopia where romance is a sacred thing and not a game in which many people do not play fairly...I smiled at the feeling of innocence that pervades this piece and borders on playful, but it was a mournful smile as well, knowing that such innocence is often destroyed by bad apples before it has the chance to be enjoyed...wonderful work Mrs.R, you did a job on my heartstrings with this one :)

[Frieda P]

Oh I know Benji, makes me bonkers sometimes...woo, love 'emotional utopia', that's a poem in and of itself. Thanks for your glowing review my sweet friend! :-)

[kublakhan27]

It's a fun place to be, sadly I can never afford the admission :P Always a pleasure Mrs.R :) xo

[Frieda P]

You and the Cohen get in for free hon. ;-) x

[kublakhan27]

Haha Sweet...maybe I can pick up a few ideas from him, that don't have to do with writing ;) xo

[Frieda P]

"we'll gaze at the sky,

see our own reflections

in the light cast

upon our hearts in tune




If you take me by the hand, '
Lovely and sweet emotions are overflowing from your heart and quill and the words travel the distance to the moon and beyond to the stars.
I have been to the river walk in San Antonio , stayed at the Marriot and I love it..
A great write...:)

This is beautiful, Frieda.. and who can resist Frank singing in the background! I love the imagery in this piece.. the moon and fairies and dancing.. such a soft whisper when read aloud.

[Frieda P]

I doubt anyone can resist Ol' Bue Eyes Lori, he's a classic, glad you enjoyed this one, thanks!

[Rita L. Sev]

Romance dances with your pen this morning, Frieda! I know it will be a good morning with a beautiful poem and a Frank song in my head first thing... :)

[Frieda P]

Glad I could brighten your day a bit Rita, thanks muchly. :-)

[SyberRose]

Love the romantic whimsical feel Frieda...and the photo brought back memories of my trip to the riverwalk in Texas..Magical in it's ethereal beauty...Rose:)

[Frieda P]

Sounds enchanting Rose, only one I've ever visited was the one in New Orleans, lovely too. Thank you. :-)

[SyberRose]

Oh really...ive never been there...was it mardi gras time.

[Frieda P]

I've been there 5 times, once for Mardi Gras, yes, I didn't think it would get any more crazy, I was wrong! Nicholas Cage was King that year, he's one wild guy!

[SyberRose]

I like Nicholas too...I love watching the mardi gras on tv though.

[Jack...]

Can we play among the stars? So very beautiful is your poem. It reaches deep into my heart this morning. I find it is time for me to "sigh" for a while. This one truely took my breath away my sweet friend.

Take me on a Riverwalk
when the sun dips for the night
we'll talk until the wee hours
of a new dawn's morn


My heart just skipped a beat.

[Frieda P]

Turnabout is fair play my sweet friend, it's about time I got to float your boat for a change! :-) Thanks so much Jack.

[Jack...]

I've no need of a life perserver as long as I have your poetry, It has been floating me since I met you.

[Troy Henson]

Such a wonderful piece. The romantic in you shows.
Beautiful flow with the staggered formation combined with great imagery and a neat tone that really made this work Frieda.

Regards
Troy

[Frieda P]
