~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

A great song and a great poem... richly intense within its dark nature. Just like the moon we all have a dark side.

Thanks John, I have Jack to thank for lightening this one up.
I love how this takes me from dark to light...
Of course, Frieda is dark, and Jack is light?
LOL, of course.
And you complement each other perfectly.
Very well done!!

And you make her look good.
I love the style in which you painted this .. Its not often you see right alignment.. It really added to the strength of this piece.. I take it the right alignment was your idea Frieda? Yes I recognized the darker side as yours immediately... .. Jack is the romantic and you are more on the darker side of grey sometimes.. Great job you guys..

I just posted our first collab together.. Of course its a romantic one.. Jack is very easy to work with.. clapping!!!! xo Rose

I love the visual format here - adds a dimension to the poem. The words and imagery from both sides are wonderful. Each style stands out, and yet blends beautifully.

Hi Frieda and Jack. A beautiful write and collaboration piece. Dark and light, contrasted beautifully in this piece. The darkness of the soul that paints those within its thrall; the light, that heals and showers love drawing the one from the darkness to the light. Good personification of the moon - there was no power in it to thwart the darkness. The magic of the fireflies - lighting and enlightening the darkness through the healing power of love and romance colored through nature as dawn breaks and hope is on horizon. Lovely depth of feeling. Good word choice. Well penned and a most enjoyable read. Write on!

A deeper shade of black devoured your soul
coloring my world in metallic shades of gray

dawn’s sweet zephyrs on jeweled beams
caress indigo butterfly wings in silken softness

this was penned from the throes of despair and ending with feathered sonnets and illumination of the heart Gorgeous you two...:)
