Essence of Flutterby

Another breathtaking photo lovely Priscilla sent me...was begging for to be written.

Shall I inhale you,

 drink you down to quench my thirst

will you give me strength

 to overcome and ease my mind

should I let you escape

 into the ether or follow you there,

if you should flutter by

 my soul's essence and tickle me

will it stir all those beautiful memories

 to refresh anew,

old photo's recaptured in my head

          now a dimly lit view of yesterday

pour me a giant carafe

 of your grace to fill my senses

it goes down smooth

           gliding past my heart

      hungover on your essentia,

flowing liquescent

              languidly whispering...

'I will always remember'

I love how you have brought you beauty into this piece, layering emotion so eloquently. I breath in your essence as it floods the space between what lies on the page and what comes from your heart. I can feel the timid step towards the risk of loving another, the knowing reality that not all love lasts, and the savoring moments shared, those small bits of time that we hang on to that makes it all worth experiencing.
Bravo, my sweet friend, my sister, my wife;)

Thank you for the inspiring photo, trying to do it justice...and those feelings just fell onto the paper. I am even fond of this one, sometimes giving birth is easier than others, this one just flowed and I thank you for giving me that beauty that is within your heart. You are special my sweet friend....glad you enjoyed this one. xxo

this is very cafe like; the self cooling mood, not the trouble with thinking too much about what's going outside the window, this is not wham bam thank you mam traffic , or drama we experience through a self gratification desire, there's more to this piece than that kind of sexual altercation..

I like how you take the void in place of decisions with the stanza "should I let you escape into the ether or follow you there, if you should flutter by my soul's essence and tickle me will it stir all those beautiful memories to refresh anew," you put it to bed with the context being a feeler more than a dreamer, I like that.
it makes me think of all those trees that communicate with each other through a root system deeply embedded and buried below, or heart beat magnetism in the science of the earth's pull, and yet some of us walk around totally unaware....great piece

[Frieda P]

I like how you make me feel after I read your words here, love the 'root system' plot....you give good review mojo...thanks so much.

And you say I am a romantic...light the candles and serve the wine...I'll be right over.

You have poured so much love and joy on us here, the desire is immense and the beauty overflowing. Such a soft and sweet poem...very nicely done Dear Frieda.

[Frieda P]

I take that as high praise coming from the master of Romance himself! Thanks so much Jack, so glad you enjoyed this one...

[Deron Alexis]

well done Frieda very emotive i got what you were feling the whole time especially in the lines"old photo's recaptured in my head
now a dimly lit view of yesterday" really well written

[Frieda P]

Thanks Deron, love when someone gets the 'feeling' part.

[Emerald Seas]

Really special, Frieda. I'm not going to give you overly gushy reviews. Simply - It's splendid, you rock! It'll speak slightly differently to everyone. Hits home for me - so, going in the favorites - 'nough said :)

[Frieda P]

Ha you crack me up Sera, anyway, I think Monday's are gushy review day...so you're good. Thanks ;-)

[Yellow Butterfly]

You know I'm a little partial to the odd flutter.... it's what I do and what I am..

pour me a giant carafe
of your grace to fill my senses
it goes down smooth
gliding past my heart
hungover on your essentia,
flowing liquescent
languidly whispering...

'I will always remember'
