Lapis Lazuli Enchantment

 

 Entranc'd in your quiver

    my heart takes a leap

       dancing a'loft captivating

     stratospheres of blitzing stardust,

          radiating in tinsel'd azure hues

       wafting in violaceous diamonds

           of crystalline lapis lazuli shimmer

         streaming a delicate aria

             in its tempo's hypnotic glint

   cello's hum & shiver a whimsical melody 

                 commanding a prolific message,

          strumming across my heart stings

    striking old familiar love chords

                     striking harmonious notes

      beating in my aching chest 

                  a bumble of dragonflies 

              prancing overhead in 

                     perfect symmetry 

charm'd intentions etch'd

         makes my soul tremble and sigh,

script'd in a deep ginger'd esprit

                    within cobalt's luminous skies

A picture is worth a thousand words they say, but it is as if the pictures you paint upon the mind of the reader are infinitely more indescribable, yet we're left with lasting impressions of a dizzying design upon our minds. Fine work my friend and so characteristically Frieda.

[Frieda P]

A very beautiful poem with breathtaking images. Whenever I want to read captivating imagery, I open your profile and read your poems and just sigh. Wonderfully done!

I see that sweetie but the question is "for how long ?" You are welcome :)

[Frieda P]

Ha, you're never happy are you? ;-P

[Ai Lun]

The best description of the rhythm of this poem would be 'it glides'. I'm not too sure how, but it's like I read it from beginning to end without taking a breath (I obviously did breathe but your poem was too entrancing for me to notice). Your delicate detail for things is something I would love to be able to incorporate into my style of poetry. 'tis an inspiring piece of art! :)

[Frieda P]

You humble me Aaron, thanks so much for your kind words, jazz'd you enjoyed ;-)

[Ai Lun]

You're welcome Frieda. 'tis my pleasure to tell you the truth :)
