If Only...

daydreaming whimsy

If only, 

 petals of poppies should really dance on zephyrs glances

         and peonies twirl polka dot dresses on high

butterflies sing lullaby's of purple essence song

     waterfalls would spray bliss while humming in tune

     secret gardens would hold the power of the universe in tiny buds

spilling forth the wonders of the world in wee dew drops from above

     if only the starlight in your eyes of the dance of romantic 

          whimsy were real horizons & the dream I dream of you could come true

I could die if only to live my life in this kismet

if only...*sigh*

If only, well who's to say they can't...those dreams, those fantasies, those heart shaped wishes can't come true. I for one say they can, if we just do not give up, keep pulling that lasso in a little bit closer each day. I am a believer that "if only" means "it will", if it is something I really want. Frieda, your charm and your heart always show through in the beauty of your words. This was gorgeous, as is the poet. Very nice my friend.

Thanks my sweet friend, and to that I have to say 'if only'. :-)

If only....?

[Shane Winchester]

A very beautifully crafted poem Frieda. Sometimes are "if only's" give us hope and sometimes they just make life a real pain in the butt to think about!

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Another beautifully ethereal piece with a good amount of beauty and brightness, but also a shred of a forlorn breeze--the perfect combination, in my book. Love the imagery and the way that you have shined a light on the way that the world seems to rotate in a fairly monotanous pattern, but there is also beauty to be found if we look for it.

An interesting write and read. If only remains to be a popular phrase regarding what could have been in terms of romanticism. Nice work. :)

I like Zephyrs. It's a cool word

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed is only life can be braced in such a manner, well done, good read.

[Dana Alsamsam]

this poem was like a beautiful little daydream of frolicking around in a garden. i love the way you hugged the imagery of nature with strings of romance. great job!

Perhaps we do have 'if onlys' surrounding us from which we live in the dreams of a beautiful, ideal vermillion sunset. However, in spite of all the fluff that makes up our minds and encircle our visions, forever composing other worlds and love- I think we might call it poetic essence, and it makes us flow across pages of such fantasies, and ideal becomes much more. Take this poem, for instance =)

[Yellow Butterfly]

Beautiful and powerful. The most potent combination.

Great, fun and happy little verse here, Frieda. I'll tell you, I don't know why this mental image popped into my head as I read it, (maybe it was the music?), but I could picture Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow, and all of the rest of the gang that set out for the Emerald City with her that day, holding hands, twirling 'round and 'round as they all danced in a circle in a field full of poppies...I simply gotta cut-back on my coffee intake!

Great, gr-r-r-r-r-e-a-t!

[Frieda P]

Lovin' the image in your head! I love poppies and just wrote something with a mention of them, ha, what kind of coffee are you drinking, I might just change my brand! Thanks so much Dean.
