~~Le Petit Mort

translation~the little death

dreamers floating on starlit cotton candy half way to the moon

signs of celestial bodies memories flaming in unison

lost in a trance of artistic delight of tenuous heights

wanderers meet on a plain halfway between nirvana

thunderous roar of passion's brazen bounties

no words to explain the shadow dance of aching 

falling to earth in pools of sinful ecstatic pleasure 

a small death of harmonious concourse to heaven's gates

oh....my....god.
You ever traipse along over the band width politely reading poetry - enjoying a moment of not doing what you were hired to do because its sucking the life out of you only to SMACK into this soul jarring epiphany? Yeah, well...that's what just happened.
I've actually never heard it phrased that way.
Wonderful poem.

[Frieda P]

i really like the playful nature of this one, im not very good at figuring out other peoples meanings in poems, im not exactly sure what this one is about, but i enjoyed the imagery non the less.

All I do is roll in the garden of these lines and smell the sweet aroma of exotics and feel the warm dew not yet given wings by the sun. This one is most beautiful and definitely one of my favorites that you have written Frieda. Ton 'Petit Mort' est le repas qui me nourris.

[Frieda P]

Woo swooning in your review, you know what French does to me, and that one didn't get lost in translation either, thanks so much my sweet friend.

[Astro]

You're most welcome.
