Viva La Musica

You are the music that plays softly

          to the rhythm of my heart

nudges me awake whilst in deep slumber, 

                        kisses me gently to viva l'amore

I hear the moonlight and sunrise

                             in your sweet refrain

dancing me to the acoustic hymn of your sensuality

      swaying me gently 

                           to the jazzy blues of your tempo

        in my loins I feel your upsurging heat, 

                           there is no melody quite as sharp 

cuts me to the bone in measured harmony

                  swinging soulful to the tune

                                   of classic Maestro’d overtures

              hard rock me til our fusion takes the house down

Viva L'Amore :)
Amazing Frieda, this one is so true and really great -
Loved these lines
"I hear the moonlight and sunrise
in your sweet refrain

dancing me to the acoustic hymn of your sensuality
swaying me gently
to the jazzy blues of your tempo
in my loins I feel your upsurging heat,
there is no melody quite as sharp"
Amazing Frieda :)

Well you know all about L'Amore, so coming from you that's a great compliment Singh! :-)

[Vikrantsingh]

;) you're welcome Frieda :D

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Oh, I have so missed the enchantment of your words, Freida! So glad that you are back here...

This was lovely; the imagery alone was sublime enough to take me on a journey, but the concept was also not lost. I love the way you blend things like "harmony" and "cuts me to the bone"--the hard and soft are always present in your work, and in the end, the symphony is haunting.

[Frieda P]

Coming from you Friday that's quite the compliment, you humble me with your kind words my friend.

[Zahra]

Beautiful romantic poem. Really very nice.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, nice to see you again, glad to see you on my page.

[Zahra]

Thanks, and glad to have you back on the cafe :)

[Frieda P]

Very happy to be back and thanks Zahra. :-)

[Dana Alsamsam]

mmm this was lovely! as a writer and a huge huge music nerd, your combination of music and description of a person was completely on point. i really enjoyed this one- all of your comparisons were unique and definitely rocked to a rhythm. awesome work.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Dana, love music too, I think as poets it speaks to our souls.

[redflutterby]

Music moves me mind, body and soul!! Whether happy or sad I turn to it to each day. And if it can make me dance and in bed or out that's even better. I think you've covered all the genres here....great write!! xo

[Frieda P]

Dancing in bed eh? Ha that I've never tried, but I have worn my tango shoes. ;-) Thanks Red! xi

[redflutterby]

Haha...I dance everywhere... You know me!! ;-)xo

[Frieda P]

We'll talk later, ha...! xo

[redflutterby]

Lmao...yes we will!! Listening to some music right now. Feeling a little hard rock tonight. Good inspiration for a kraken.... ;-D

[InsanityWriter]

Excellent piece Frieda. :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks Skittles :-)

[annie lee]

A hot-blooded and intimate description of music and its many tendrils through the rooms of our lives. I used to listen to music all the time, especially when I wrote, but now I rarely do. I miss it. Perhaps I am simply not listening closely enough. This music you describe seems available to all, if only they will listen. Lovely.

[Frieda P]

For me, music and poetry are almost one in the same, thanks so much minichinz.

[Frieda P]

This is one write to my heart Frieda, for I personally love dancing, music, and classical dances. To dance with the perfect partner, is a must, for he can lead you all the way, in light and heavy moves...
I saw you dancing here, on those sexy latin shoes. :) made me smile.... The music is a fine Samba.
I missed your writings, for they are always so different (which is good) and you give us always a glimpse of all...

[Frieda P]

Haha Elisa, I kicked off my Latin dancing shoes now, love to read your reviews, you really get into the spirit of it all...xo

Ha! I just knew it... lol :) I see you swinging overthere.... and now resting ;-) much love to you... oooh but so do you, it's your Italian blood love...

[Frieda P]

Ha yes swinging from the chandeliers hahaha love you! xo

Hahaha oh you sassy Sister... ;D xo love you too !!!

[Frieda P]

We gals have to get our exercise, right? ;-) MWAH!

For sure... ;-) my life wouldn't be nothing without classic and latin dance... :D and muses!!!

[Frieda P]

And phenomenal friends! :-)

So so true, foodies, and wine... good talks, and most of all honesty and heartwarming tenderness. :) ♥

[kublakhan27]

I love it...you could not have struck a more perfect balance between music and sensuality here...no melody quite as sharp...LOVE that line, but every line here is its own little tango...awesomely done Mrs.R ;)

[Frieda P]

I thought you might enjoy this one, it's either weather or music that wraps itself around your heart. Thanks Benji! ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha Always a pleasure Mrs.R...you know me so well ;)

[Astro]

I love this one Frieda, great final line. I really like the way you show that sensual love has many different sides, the ambient subtleness, the classic tempo, the improvisational jazz-like fury, and the hard rocking that keeps the neighbors awake. ;) Great stuff.

[Frieda P]

Did those dang neighbors complain again? ;-) ha, thanks Astro, love your review. :-)

[Astro]

Cheers and to hell with the neighbors, they can buy earplugs.

[KeeD]

swinging soulful to the tune
of classic Maestro’d overtures :D wow ;D
Hard rock me till our fusion takes the house down.
Frieda this brings out the melodic madness, the poetic ingenious and the sheer thrill of reading you. Such a joy, evokes feelings and pleasures for the eyes and the mind, well penned this piece. Did the song inspire you or was there something more that sparked this write? :D

[Frieda P]

Woo getting a Kee review is always a highlight of my day...ha I had to search for the perfect musical piece, so you figure it out. ;-)
