Dance With The Devil

           Why does the purple sky

           arouse me to

           wantonly dance with the devil

           maybe the majestic colors 

           perhaps 

           the sky's glowing embers

           amethyst burns me 

           drenched in a sultry scarlet dipped

            tonic of intoxicating fine wine 

                                          soaking up Sugarplums 

magpies swing on my heart

their lush warble 

entices a pulsating 

horizontal mambo

trip the light fandango

glide into the blue moon

 assaulting

a purple sky with mystic baubles

spins my head

 to magical nights

strumming wicked

  plucking at my

 heart beats

catapulted my senses

 senseless

blazing purple rain

 soothes my soul

its hypnotic allure

enraptures, entrances

 seduces me

why do shimmering

purple skies

 titillate me...?

burgeoning me

 over the blue moon

mesmerized in lipid pools

of your dark soul

i open my eyes 

and all I taste 

is essence

of you

another enthralling piece of cake. As and always. amethyst skies, dancing devil and magpies invite me a dance with the exhausted rubish devil. may the words rise that i may have them. your poems have been embalming the true sense of poetry and i am not buttering. we dont see really good poems these days.

[Frieda P]

Wow, I don't know how I missed this review, thanks so much...this has made my day critic h!

[Coyote Poetry]

I danced with a few demons. No complains. Demons need love too. A very good poem. A lot of energy and nice visions create by the description. Thank you for the excellent poem.

[KAOlmsted]

Must be a Joisey thing ;-) This was an incredibly vivid piece that had me swaying a little in my chair...it took me to a pretty neat place in my mind, a place I liked immensely. And the format is fun...always a pleasure to read these pieces from you, Frieda. Your imagination is second to none.

[Frieda P]

I'm elated you like it kimmer, the format is something I've been working on since that part of it is all new to me, just put whatever falls out of the head onto paper most times....thanks so much! :-)

[KAOlmsted]

The thought you put into this one is evident and I know I'm not the only one who appreciates it. My pleasure, always :-D

[Frieda P]

Doing a happy dance! :-D

[Claire Twinn]

It sounds wonderfully sensual. I wonder why it's only the devil you dance with?

[Frieda P]

ha good question Claire, inquiring minds want to know eh? You would be the one to ask that question with your imagination for stories...;-)

[#33]

You have a great imagination when it comes to words. You play on images we can see through your minds eye with the selection of words you choose.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Happy Face, much appreciated. :-)

[Baby Ricochet]

I goddamn guarantee you the devil's a great dancer. Great poem Frieda.

[Frieda P]

ha Baby, sounds like you've done this dance before, thanks ;-)

[Revery]

It's a vicious cycle, some things the more we resist the more we want. Add to that something or someone that pierces our core in just the right way and wow aren't the moments before we cave futile. We either have to run far away or .... hmm

Great write

[Frieda P]

I'm loving your tangent here Revery....
hmmm, thanks so much
