~Dark Side of the Moon

~Dark Side of the Moon

A Poem by Frieda P
"

Collaboration with Jack, needless to say, he's the light side.

"











A deeper shade of black devoured your soul
coloring my world in metallic shades of gray
dark angels took flight into the night
hanging by a thread for all to see
 moon hung its head in shame
twilight had failed its plight
spirits collided head first
music played only sad tunes
...the day sunlight ceased to exist

~~~~~~

 

Fireflies flicker

light slowly resumes

night becomes day’s color

tears evaporate in reflected heat

dawn’s sweet zephyrs on jeweled beams

caress indigo butterfly wings in silken softness

and I see, once more, you find me on this dark moon

whispering in feathered sonnets of melodic lyrics calming

illuminating my heart in showering sparks of the happy memories

Stunning collaboration, Frieda and Jack both!! Both of you have composed some incredible imagery for this piece (which I happen to be partial to in poetry).

Jack, I love your "dark side," so to speak, with its "deeper shade of black devoured your soul." And just as much, Frieda, I love your "light side," with its "fireflies flicker," and "tears evaporate in reflected heat," and "dawn's sweet zephyrs on jeweled beams." What an intense combination of positive/negative images, so romantic, loving, and adventurous!!! Ooh, I'm just gushing. :-P

Wow, I'm humbled Singh, thanks so much for your kindness and friendship always my dear friend. :-)
Good music and outstanding poetry. The moon allowed us to dream and write. Pink Floyd took us to the dark side and make us want to stay. Thank you for the music and the poetry.

Grazie mille Cassie, you're too kind!
Great images, great layout and a solid collaberation.
Although I have to say Frieda that with the first line I had forgotten Pink Floyd and was stuck with Procul Harum.

I think collaberation is a very hard thing to due as each writer has to not only create but create in such a manner as to compliment and complete the other. You did that here.

Procul Harum would have worked just as well, thanks Steve for your kind review.
Intense, richly crafted, mesmerising.... Wow Frieda, you are an amazing poet. A review will be too small for this poem. Beautiful.
