Wild Heart

Wild Horses,

 wind rushing through your mane

I dream of riding bareback

rapacious with you

along the surf,

 throwing caution to the wind 

my soul had surrendered 

to a place of isolation and caution

 Engrossed by nature's pleasurable

 force for freedom

found my secret creature within 

        distracted by your rein of play

power of liberty and unrestrained,

 never being enslaved

Indulge my wildest fantasies

 to rope myself a steed

bucking my silly filly preconceptions

 of wicked stallions

jaunt with me on this excursion

 on new trails of adventure

I've sauntered for much too long

   my soul needs to barnstorm

I'll mount you reckless and uninhibited

 for wantonness's rush

And one becomes free from the restraints of that which squelches a spirit from running with the wind, playing at times with wild fire, dismounting the steed with wild abandon and then wanting to do it all over again..........ah, riding bareback on a wild stallion makes quite a statement - as did Lady Godiva when she protested her husband's unfair taxes!
Let go, be who you dream to be with a Wild Heart!!
Wonderful write my friend!!

[Frieda P]

Woo Sheila, you review just excited me! ;-) Thanks so much!

[InsanityWriter]

Nice. :)

[KAOlmsted]

Don't go riding bareback with strange stallions ;-) I love this piece, Frieda...it's so strong. Thrusting, if you will. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Love it.

[SHEEMA HUQ]

a great example of female courage and gallantry
very beautiful writing

[Frieda P]

Thanks SHEEMA like your interpretation.

[Jibey]

The call of the wilrd... yes... great images of bareback riding, or uninhibited exposure... the nearest I ever get to it is windsurfing - and one day I will do it naked...

[Frieda P]

Thanks Jibey, ha that should shock some surfers!

[Claire Twinn]

Makes me want to run wild and free, like the horses. An uplifting adventure, well done.

[Frieda P]

Great Claire, that's the feel I was going for, thanks!

[LA Lorena]

Of course it has to be bareback. All the better to become one with the stallion. Saddles and reins are for sissies. You wanna borrow my spurs? I enjoyed this one FP.

[Frieda P]

Ha you think I'll need them? Thanks LA.

[Deron Alexis]

a truly free spirit i'm glad for those who accomplish such greatness you have captured in this poem what we know to be illusive and scarce in this world well done

[Frieda P]

If only we could all live this way eh? Thanks Deron!

[Baby Ricochet]

I dream of riding bare back too but there's way to many Kooties out there for that. I do like horses. All they do is eat and get really big. I can relate to that. I did like this poem. I read the whole thing without drifting off.

[Frieda P]

Ha, I suppose that's your way of delivering a compliment, I'll take it. ;-P
