~One Last Sigh

You dimmed the splendor,

         turned down the sunlight

i waited for a breathless moon 

                   of starry skies to escape

your golden key had me locked away from eternity

                satin sheets could not recover what was lost 

one last dance around the mezzanine of obscurity

               one last sigh til the whispers

                                  of recognition die out,

                 on a pillow sleek

                  of aloof cavalier haunting

This reached out and grabbed me. I found myself lost in your words and with tears welling up, I came to the point where I couldn't see. Shadows were staring at me with black eyes and I felt the ground beneath my feet soften in an attempt to swallow me into this sorrow. When all seemed lost I heard something, I listened intently and found it was the faint remnants of your heart beat. I made my way towards the sound, following it as it grew louder and then I saw the light...it was your smile. I found my way out...but will probably dive back in once again. I never could resist your poetry.

Your review is better than my piece here Jack, thanks for your thoughts.

[Breathetheair]

Gorgeous. Beautiful. Ponderous thoughts that seem like my own. Just loved it.

[Frieda P]

Much appreciate your visit and review.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Mesmerizing night time imagery Frieda. Words that rub like silk and satin along the ridges of the mind.

[Frieda P]

Oooh, I like that, 'rub like silk and satin along the ridges' thanks so much Astro.

[Astro]

You're welcome.

"You dimmed the splendor,
turned down the sunlight"

Oh, Frieda, this was lovely. You make magic with your words and it's an act I wish would never end. I also enjoy the music you post with many of your pieces. Splendid!

[Frieda P]

Oh my Rebecca, you're too kind, thanks so much!

[Rebecca Buller]

You're welcome:) :)

[TL Boehm]

[Frieda P]

Suck, exactly, your reviews always make me smile :-)

[lee von cleef]

you throw some words together here that are strangers to one another, Cavalier Obscurity Mezzanine, Now Bonnie ,she can make me love her, and Freida like Carly Simon told us "Nobody does it better"

[Frieda P]

She can make me love her too lee, thanks so much.

[lee von cleef]

We'r so vain, yes we think the poem is about us.

[Zahra]

Very well expressed, nice flow and wording. Great poem.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it.

[Pete Langley]

Very atmospheric and not a little melancholy, Frieda - not sure this lasted long, mind. Sounds a bit like `never the twain.....`P.

[Frieda P]

I'm not sure if two people can ever love equally but when one stops it's all over...thanks Pete.

[Ayvid N]

Sad but true...we are lured into obscurity. Only to find that what lured us was not meant to last. This is how I saw this lovely poem. Thanks for sharing it...

[Frieda P]

Sigh Divya, does it ever last, thanks my dear friend....

[Ayvid N]

I know :(
You are welcome Frieda... :)

[Frieda P]

We're a hot mess ;-)

[Ayvid N]

Yes Frieda ;(

[Frieda P]

Keep smiling Divya, we can't let it get the best of us.....

[Ayvid N]

Of course Frieda! And I firmly believe we'll have the last laugh some day. :)

[Frieda P]

I'll drink to that :-)

[Ayvid N]

:) of course! Me too.

[Archangel Gabriel]

Loved the music. This is a nice but somewhat sad piece of feeling something has been lost?

[Frieda P]

Thanks Gabriel, always nice hearing from you....
