Rouge Burnished Soul

         Rouge burnished, ardent soul,

                   butterflies inflate the heart

    billow above the furor 

 and disquietude

close your eyes

         in wakeful slumber

      glean a thousand kisses

                        & marshmallow doves

masterpiece

         within soul's empty vessel

portal of delirium

                 and fine red wine

images

                         of crystalline apertures 

                        to Arcadia

whirling

                          on a frenzied bed

                                     of plumose embraces

promises

                  of purple cloud nine abodes

abandon

                  the rootlessness of veracity

~floating~

                             on the breast 

                           of an angel's arousal

Quite beautiful, serene and sensual all in a neat little package.

Rouge burnished, ardent soul,
butterflies inflate the heart
billow above the furor
and disquietude

I love this opening verse, how could one stop reading with an entrance like this?

glean a thousand kisses
& marshmallow doves

The stuff that dreams are made of. It seems I may not be the only romantic around here. Very beautifully done.

Awh thanks Jack, I have my moments! Love the 'little package', review, much appreciated.

[Jack...]

That's the funny thing about poetry, it is something we can not hide behind for it sets us out in full view of the world. :)

[Frieda P]

OH gawd, now I feel absolutely naked! lol ;-P

butterflies inflate the heart
billow above the furor
and disquietude"

[Frieda P]

Was pretty funny though, amazing what one stupid letter can do...ha

[Dalia]

>.< yeah your right.. good thing it made you smile c:
I hate when I make spelling mistakes though :(

[Frieda P]

me too, but we're only human, right? Spell check has screwed up the words I've intended at times, so I shut it down.

[InsanityWriter]

Very well done, once again. ;)

[Frieda P]

Merci beaucoup lovely Skittles. ;-)

[kublakhan27]

An invitation to the senses to take a dance around the maypole...this is just loaded with magic and fairies and fireflies and other gentle things, at least till the last couple of lines when sensuality chimes in to get the last word...you are blowing me away with what you've been writing these days ;)

[Frieda P]

Stop that k, you're gonna make me fall in love with you if you keep this up! ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha then I guess I should refrain from officially citing you as a primary influence of mine huh...but don't blame me, blame your muse for blessing you with such incredible work ;)

[Frieda P]

I still lub ya anyways ;-P

[kublakhan27]

And you know I lub you as well ;)

[Frieda P]

:D

(For the record, this one should be in my library but it's not actually showing up there...the site has been a source of serious frustration for me in recent days...PMs are coming up blank, I can't post photos, my library isn't accepting the pieces I designate for it...I don't know what they're doing but it's not amusing me)

[Frieda P]

I know, weird things have been happening on the WC lately...we need new management...someone has to step up and I think it should be you k ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha the only thing I would be good at is firing people...no check that, I couldn't even do that cuz I'm too nice ;P Maybe I can be a janitor or something haha

[Frieda P]

lol, I hate firing people, even when they're a******s, it's not easy ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha Indeed it is not ;P

[quinfinn]

snap out of it! (i always wanted to say that, just like Cher in "moonstruck") very lovely piece frieda, sensual and lilting...took me on a cleverly woven enchanting spell of blissful words. masterfully penned.

[Frieda P]

haha, did you wanna smack me like that too? I loved that movie!!
Thanks quin ;-)

[An owl on the moon]

Every letter and line is dreamish... You voice a sweet, sensual lullaby to bliss and paint all the roses red. An extravagant escape...

[Frieda P]

Woo, this review made me dance, you made my day Craig, truly...

[An owl on the moon]

Oh, Frieda... thank YOU for sharing such bliss with all of us.. the world needs you.

[Frieda P]

Now you're gonna make me blush, and I don't blush very easily...I'm humbled, thanks again Craig. x

[KatDarkness]
