Anoint Me with Poetry

Color me in metaphorical hues,

    tinges of red's soft sonnets

paint a picture within inky filigreed lace

    and fine silken threads

my religion breathes your favored essence

    twist poetry into my hair, 

     let me hear the music sing

bathe me in champagne bubbled prose

   sending butterfly shivers up my spine

I breathe the air you pen 

                          and then some again

                                  write in blood, wake up the oxygen flow

                                  the words that artists bleed

                  you are my strength, my power, my weakness                                                                              

                                                                                                                                         

                             i dine on the phases of your moons

   cut me deep into the heart & gut

                 watch the movement of echoes unfold

                                       whilst moving majestic amethyst  mountains, 

shred my soul with your dragon's breath

anoint my breasts, oils that seep thy quill

make me punch drunk dizzy

drenching me in your sparkling wines

clinging from the vines of destiny's path

my soul existence is dependent

 upon a verse

I love poetry that flows effortlessly and this piece does so with style. Beautiful metaphors and usage of colors. I am left in awe of the radiance of this poem. I felt like I was floating down a river of poetic brilliance. So glad I found you and your wonderful words.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Lori, sorry I missed this one earlier, love your glowing review...much appreciated.

[Ravyne Hawke]

You are most welcomed, Frieda.

Ok Ok I will climb back under my toad Stool , get ready for May and the "Toad Suck" day's whilst wilst whilst whilst. You know this is a sweet poem but the picture "Jacked it" right away from you. Henry Moreno trained "Light Light before Mc Hammer bought her, told me "never send a horse you trained to a better trainer then you" so make your poem out shine the art.

[Frieda P]

Oh god give me strength to deal with you please! The poem was inspired by the picture, not sure what else I could have poured out of my soul to make it any better, sorry to disappoint lee...

[lee von cleef]

You know being "Argumentative" to me is a sign of respect, of course when a thousand pound horse is doing the arguing I have to find some even ground for success, best to get their feet moving first before they strike or flip on you.

[Frieda P]

Did you just call me a fat horse? .................

[lee von cleef]

You have heard of "Cow Tipping" I just let a whisp of knowledge float your way about the mind of a horse, now a woman, especially one who can write as sensually naughty as you do, has my full attention because I am sure I will get a education or a "schooling" as my Dad used to say.

[Frieda P]

You're digging yourself a deeper hole...horses & cows! If you said cheeky cow I'd get it...now, schooling, I doubt it, you just don't write about it....

[lee von cleef]

Zen, productive practice.... "another hundred head and this will be easy" my dad said that too... as well as " Wake up and shake the dew off your lilly"

[Frieda P]

That sounds perverse, I like to just wake up and smell the coffee...

[lee von cleef]

Coffee ah , Read this issue of N O L S, they have a good write on coffee, Then there is , there are ? the largest Green Bean Coffee brokers in the world! Westfeldt Brothers that tops my coffee knowledge baristra freida P. Let me go.

[Frieda P]

It's Saturday, leave me alone - - I gave up reading anything good for me for Lent... ;-)

[lee von cleef]

National Outdoors Leadership School....John John walked 180 degrees the wrong way in East Africa, they were sure scrambling to find him, but that was then this is now, and the story on Coffee is cool.

[Frieda P]

Two people demonstrating instant coffee wooo, almost had to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out...

[lee von cleef]

that is you!

[Frieda P]

seriously, did you find that interesting, they have one on paint drying you'd be interested in I think....

[kublakhan27]

Your best stuff is the stuff that mixes literary devices with physical sensuality, and it all came together immaculately here...this is golden ;)

[Frieda P]

Oh wooo, I'm taking this review to the bank, it's money! Holy Steve, thanks so much my dear friend, you took my breath away. x

[kublakhan27]

The pic indeed is lovely.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Junert, I wish I knew the artist...

[Lover Of Words]

Pure beauty... Just like you! Love it

[Frieda P]

Thanks Kelsey.

[Lover Of Words]

No Problem Freida

[Tai Ryens]

Butterfly motifs always entice me, as there are various ways to interpret the winged creatures. I particularly like your emotions of a love so bedazzling that it crawls up your spine. Clever diction, I do say.
Another aspect is of the metaphor referring to penned words. I faintly recognize a tinge of painting here, the mountains a direct resemblance to the shape of a paintbrush swaying as it brushes the canvas. Twisting poetry into hair also seems artisan-like, defining each strand of hair oh, so carefully as you maintain the pose of admiration to your artist.
Such a vivid, smooth love you have here.

[Frieda P]

Truly appreciate your insight into my work Tai, always a pleasure to have you visit, thanks so much.

[Tai Ryens]

'Tis my pleasure to adhere your poetry.

Soul's existence is dependent upon a verse???

[Frieda P]

If you can bathe in champagne bubbles where you hang out, I want to go there too! Thanks Cyn, enjoy yourself, no drinking & driving, I don't want to be held responsible... ;-)

[Deuces]

Ok fine. I'll drink, smoke and drive instead.

[Dr. Wood ?]

I always thought anointment was something you rubbed on to keep people called Anne away......Great poem AGAIN.....sensual symmetry If i only had half your word power I would be happy........

[Frieda P]
