Twilight's Shimmer - A collaboration - Frieda and Jack

Once more I am honored to write a poem with Frieda. Who says dreams don't come true?

 

 

Twilight's Shimmer

 

 

Misty mornings long for silent shade

drenched in glistening opalescent

windswept sighs on feathered breezes

seek the essence of your fragrance

 

languish in moments sheer contentment

flowers scenting the nape of the neck

eyes soak in brilliant twilight's shimmer

amidst the ginger of your aromatic flavor

 

 the sunrise blooms of your beauty

I gaze upon this tempting reflection

in limpid pools of dark sepia dreams

silently quenching my thirsty desires  

 

delights of silken'd utterances bliss

kiss upon my heart's zesty appetite

hungering for the gusto of your affection

urges of  persuasive velvet'd silent echoes

 

savoring these moonlit moments

within delicate arms, anxious sighs

 

enraptured in this tender night's embrace

floating upon gossamer clouds of your love

Yeah cool. Im a virgin to combo poetry. And you rascals just popped my cherry. Nice work.
I like the male female back forth... creates an interesting tug, you know... its odd, because its two people where there usually is just one... I think it takes a certain amount of trust, in self, in other, to write this style of poetry... a great collaboration.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Terry. Frieda is so very easy to write with. When I write with her it almost feels as if one heart holds the pen. I appreciate your kind words.

[Frieda P]

Wow, I don't think anyone has ever popped their cherry in a review that I can recall...was it good for you? ha....thanks Terry! ;-)

and that song "Somewhere" by Isreal "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole breath taking... he was an activist for the independence of the Hawaiian Islands.. his beautiful voice and activity will be missed..

[Jack...]

My friend, you have me at a loss here. I can't hear the music, my sweet melodic writing partner gets all of the credit for that. I am happy you enjoyed this poem though, I failed to say that in the prior response. truthfully, I am thrilled you enjoyed it, Frieda is an amazing poet and I am the fortunate one who gets to tag along for a while.

[Frieda P]

My favorite over the rainbow, he is missed, I agree.

[redzone]

Frieda, Jack.. wonderful... you know how most collaborations you can tell each voice, but in the ones you two do, while I might be able to tell which lines each oof you wrote, what really stands out is how they come across as one voice, exppressing the possibilities of love, of emotion, of the passion between two people... so the poems you two write are unique and artistic.. I am glad to be able to read them.. deliciously dreamy.. ~~redzone

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend. Actually Frieda wrote the entire poem, I just added the last word lov...oops.

[Frieda P]

Don't believe a word, if his pen is moving, he's lying ;-)

[Baby Ricochet]

[Frieda P]

Thanks Katherine, jazz'd you enjoyed!

[Rita L. Sev]

You both know how to engage the senses as well as the heart with your romantic writes. Another wonderful collaboration - though the pic, for some reason, creeped me out...

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Rita...don't look at the picture...oh no, it's staring at you. :)
I appreciate your kindness always, but you know the beauty behind this and the other collaborations we do is always Frieda. I just supply the humor. :)

[Frieda P]

Who knew Rita was such a scaredy cat, I mean thanks muchly Rita! ;-)

[Rita L. Sev]

I think it's that floating head in the water... eek! ;)

[Frieda P]
