~Dark Side of the Moon

~Dark Side of the Moon

A Poem by Frieda P
"

Collaboration with Jack, needless to say, he's the light side.

"











A deeper shade of black devoured your soul
coloring my world in metallic shades of gray
dark angels took flight into the night
hanging by a thread for all to see
 moon hung its head in shame
twilight had failed its plight
spirits collided head first
music played only sad tunes
...the day sunlight ceased to exist

~~~~~~

 

Fireflies flicker

light slowly resumes

night becomes day’s color

tears evaporate in reflected heat

dawn’s sweet zephyrs on jeweled beams

caress indigo butterfly wings in silken softness

and I see, once more, you find me on this dark moon

whispering in feathered sonnets of melodic lyrics calming

illuminating my heart in showering sparks of the happy memories

Stunning collaboration, Frieda and Jack both!! Both of you have composed some incredible imagery for this piece (which I happen to be partial to in poetry).

Jack, I love your "dark side," so to speak, with its "deeper shade of black devoured your soul." And just as much, Frieda, I love your "light side," with its "fireflies flicker," and "tears evaporate in reflected heat," and "dawn's sweet zephyrs on jeweled beams." What an intense combination of positive/negative images, so romantic, loving, and adventurous!!! Ooh, I'm just gushing. :-P

Thank you so very much.
A great collaboration of two minds and souls to shine the truth of the dark side of the moon and in sad tunes spread the love the ones hanging by the thread of fragility to keep the flight of hope even on fragile wings of butterflies...Awesome...:)

Well, wow what can I say! Perfect song for this but that's the latter of this review, you two have created something amazing and perfect, you two seem to be flowing on the same wavelength here :) This flowed beautifully and the layout was appealing to the eye and interesting. I think I might have to get back into writing poetry, you two are extremely talented and I hope to be at your level one day too. Great job, I loved this, a great poem from two amazing poets
