Splendor of your touch...

Etch upon my soul with resplendent golden ribbons

so that my heart shall beat within the rhythm of your rhyme

Write me sonnets of the splendor and epiphanies of poetry

pen emotion's bliss in pomegranates evocative style

I feel the earth move within the whispers of the wind

force gales and zephyrs take flight upon the senses

indescribably delicious taste of another's rapture   

"Thou art mine distant moon

Influencing the tides of mine soul

Illuminating fragile words of grief

That grieve in longing of thee, o' distant moon"

I stand in your light of radiance that dwells in the present

swoon me to another time and place of peaceful serenity

thine words written upon my skin mark its stance in perpetuity

I shall dance endlessly in the lavish brilliance of your grandeur

Author's Note

Second stanza, actually what inspired me to write this, was not written
by me but another sweet friend & lovely poet who prefers to remain
anonymous, many heartfelt thanks, you know who you are! x

Oh, oh, oh.....a poem reminiscent of Shakespeare himself, Frieda. Whomever wrote that second verse really inspired you! Your words are "resplendent golden ribbons" in this one. Dreamy romance, incredible imagery, and that photo to accompany your words....sizzling! Great work. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Woo, Shakespeare in the same breath as mine, you're too kind! Thanks, jazzed you enjoyed Lydi.
