Twist'd fate....

sell thy soul for white lightning's glare

   falling into your darkly crown'd rapture

reigned down in torrents of scorch'd feathers 

    deviltry in disguise of absolution's grace

masquerading in snake charmer's illusions

    twisted fate knelt in quagmire's demise

flipped a notion under its sinking breath

   one hundred proof red wine's squeeze 

confessional's lie in rewards to sin again 

   blessed are the cracked for they do not see

pretty scarlet orbs fell from pardon

    in painfully peering testy skies

temptress captivated by mirth in kingdom's girth

    ecstasy of agony 'tween the gray spatters 

sold down the shiny river's holy water

     offerings & trinkets of delicate lace

bent knee fireplace amenities excluded

   prisoners held hostage in cobalt'd clouds

promises of poppy's alluring sting

     in the name of who's gospel'd hallelujah 

cloak'd in haunted ever afters 

   wrapped in warped delusional remorse

tinged of crimson's secret scent'd lure

   took a dive where angel's tremble

rushing hangnail moon's salacious rancor 

   ascended in sanctity's virginal volition 

surrender'd in a dwelling of salvation's embrace

After reading your poem (several times now), I stood took inventory on all my moveable parts (and grey matter) and let out a big hallelujah, I'm still alive and not in some delusional, hypocritical dream looking for redemption. Of course now Bob Marley's " Redemption Songs" is playing in my head, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Frieda, WTF (not allowed to curse)!! This is some trip you are taking us on.. delusional remorse, virginal volition, and more.. but with all you metaphorically and imaginative images can there be a salvational embrace, surrendered or not.. I think not..

Of course another explanation for my review is too much of that 100 proof wine... hic. But high or not..er..I mean lover

Ha Bob is always welcome, caught this on live feed and I was laughing already, you always blow me away with your reviews Curt....follow along with my twisted mind, and help yourself to the wine, yes. Chin chin. ;-) Grazie mille sweetie. x

[redzone]

I'm more than willing to follow along Frieda, but I may need you to hold my hand at times. My mind is cobwebbedcovered, yours twisted, I see scorched feathers and customer's demise ahead.. xxoo ;0)

[Frieda P]

Sound pretty perfect to me. ;-)

[redzone]

Would you believe I typed quagmire and not customer.. amazing

[Frieda P]

Ha I was wondering ftw you were tawkin bout. ;-)

[redzone]

TFW not sure either but then..

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Fascinating, your lines are emotion tongue twisters… once we are jaded by love it is an experience that will live with us forever and affect our decisions long after.

[Frieda P]

Oh I like that 'emotion tongue twisters' thank so much Dale...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yeah I think I sprained mine, LOL

You are welcome Moonbeam

[Frieda P]

Ha put ice on it and elevate. ;-)

[redflutterby]

I remember this one...it appears your mind took a different turn since I read it. More towards my original feeling of the hypocrisies of religion? But in this case I see some alluding to Catholicism. Theres a number of lines that give me that impression..but the thought here can be applied to any of the organized religions. This packs a punch even with your pretty font and it is bound to cause some controversy. x

[Frieda P]

You're confuzzeld Red, that one was about prejudice, never did work that one out....thanks for your thoughts, and yes I figured it might....x

[redflutterby]

[redflutterby]

My friend Frieda. I need time to digest the poem. It is amazing. You went to many places and thoughts.
" blessed are the cracked for they do not see
pretty scarlet orbs fell from pardon
in painfully peering testy skies"
There is no weakness in the amazing poetry. Thank you.

Wow this is kind of different Frieda a twist of a lot things, Hmmm I see many things here just don't know how to put in words, 100 proof wine that must be home made, I see the bible and angels and demons playing within as well. I don't want you to give it away you can email and say when you get a chance I don't want to spoil it.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Jon, it probably means something different for you than it does for me....any interpretation is fine with me, just glad you enjoyed.
