Dulcinea dreaming ~ [Inspired by redzone's review]

For Curt, a very special friend ♥

I'd inscribe the sky for you

       capture a fiery 

               constellation,

bring you moonlight

    in a jar,

i'll be your real

                life Dulcinea, 

if you'll be my 

             Don Quixote

under a cool night's 

mid- summer's breeze,

we'll lie naked betwixt 

          velveteen sandy shores,

      surrender ~

              in the undulating surf

   as the crash

             of majesty's seas

 appeases

            our magnificent     

                 yielding

all I ask in return,

        gently fold my affection's

          passion

      keep it in your heart

                for safekeeping, 

a tender keepsake

                  for endless time

Frieda!!!! I read this last night on my phone, you often say "doing the happy dance", well you have me dancing on Quixotic clouds, heading to that "unreachable star"!!!! Can I confess (I know, not god person), you have been my Sweet Dulcinea from the first poem I read from you. And your affection's passion has been gently folded and takes up a good portion of my heart, it's safe and nurtured without asking.

In the spirit of Feudal, Chivalry, and all that is precious, allow me, El Don Quixote, wear your colors as I unashamedly joust at windmills and reach for your stars.. you already hold mine in your hands... would you care to join me in this quest!!??

Luther Vandross, come on Frieda (Dulcinea), he is one of the most powerful romantic singers and this song.. well, nothing is "impossible" or "hopeless" as I listen to it...

You are so freakin' special Frieda, you know I loves you for "endless time".

such sweet sentiment ma'am.. that gifted pen weaves its magic spell again.. there is no limit to what our hearts can offer and do for our other half... the heights that passion and affection can take the spirit is limitless... such a precious gift is friendship and to pair that with matters of the heart can be such a breathtaking experience. to know another soul.... to truly see into the depths of what makes them so unique and special--nourish it, admire it, and enjoy it in return.. lovely imagery in this one..

Such a beautiful, tender expression of love and devotion... Your heart shines through each lifting line, like a song... Sighing...

I don't know how you do that! Time after time you seem to write so effortlessly and add stuff like you have lived in a history, but you are now! Your writing is wonderful and I really enjoy reading your work! Thank you for sharing it!

Beautiful..... :)

Your images bring the Impossible Dream to life - a beautiful poem, made sweeter by the fact that it was friend-inspired. :)
