~Long Pauses~

~Long Pauses~

A Poem by Frieda P

You haunt my dreams
in long pauses of nightfall

a single breath at the nape of my neck
the scent of magnolias in the air

a calm filled with shudders 
gasp of a sigh uttered  
                            
scorched of long ago places
written in script

that aspire to dusty shelves 
one sweet day to revisit                      

in visions of twilight,
amber cognac 
& blossomed desire

you give such a deep look at your passion! It's almost like memories jumping into the air. ...landing as small kisses trailing down the senses.Long pauses to let us know we are still breathing.I almost want to close the curtains as I read this for it makes me feel naked. you have done your job well here Frieda! Superb!

Ah, the fires of desire inspired by the gloaming! You stoked this flame quite well using those little poetic couplets as tinder.

Jazzed you enjoyed Aethereal!
Absolutely beautiful. You portray love as it should be, soft, warm, delicate, tender, affectionate, passionate and beautiful and you present it to us in the most wonderful package our eyes could every dream. You, my sweet friend, give new meaning to the word "talented". Our days would be dark without precious words from you. A long pause is required to savor the thoughts and visions your poem paints in our minds today.
