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.

I think you use a thesaurus written with the blood of Aphrodite that would make John Donne drool and Byron might even have paid a hundred shillings for, Frieda! A cornucopia of crystallised romanticism, sweetheart. P

[Frieda P]

Ha you don't have that special Edition Pete? I'm tickled by this review...wooo!

Holy Toledo, that's the absolute best review I've ever had from you John....I am humbled.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You exaggerate me thinks you have always been a poet whose words I have hung upon, respected and enjoyed. You know my frustrations with you and you know it is only because I care.

An ode to your love for poetry and the way it makes you feel to construct art from words. Essential love. Expression and art can be a religion, when it makes you feel complete.
Beautiful write Frieda dear.

[Rita L. Sev]

Your title drew me in - "anoint", not "cover" or "bathe", but ANOINT - as if poetry is sacred. And you proceed to show that this is, indeed, the case. Absolutely beautiful.

[Frieda P]

Ha well poetry is sacred...thanks so much Rita!
