Poetic Breaths

~insatiable poetry

I breathe in this moment like a fickle lover

 to grasp you within my lungs

savoring every breathless last word

  filling with the very essence of your song

it stings like a bee on wildflowers in springtime

   as a drug  so deliciously potent, 

I can't get enough to quench the desire

  it floats within my heart on butterfly wings

ink drips upon the page like an ambrosial

 zephyr's

   sweet kisses upon my eyes and soul's embrace

gently soaring on memories of darkly posies

       this dance of poetry is sublime elation

 personified

You may breathe in air but you most definitely breath out poetry and fills the air for the rest of us to inhale. I found these lines to be sigh worthy:

ink drips upon the page like an ambrosial
zephyr's
sweet kisses upon my eyes and soul's embrace
gently soaring on memories of darkly posies

Thanks so much Anne, sigh worthy is an outstanding review...muchly appreciated my friend.

[Stevo The POE-t]

Did my new Poetic series spark this for you? I really love the emotion you put into it... Great job

[Frieda P]

This was written on September 1st, long before you started on your series, maybe the other way around Stevo. Thanks so much... ;-)

[Stevo The POE-t]

lol... I just now seen this poem... My woman says I copied off of her... But shh keep this between us mine are better... lol

[Frieda P]

Like minds and all that jazz I guess, who's your girlfriend, does she write here too & you're not going to win her heart with that statement? ;-)

[Stevo The POE-t]

Yeah she is the virginpoet... Were already married... She has to live with me... lol

[Frieda P]

Haha 'has to' being the key words there....I know who she is, I used to read her....

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

lol yeah I started my poetic series over 2 years ago did not mean for it to be a series just sorta happened. I let him think his work is better

[Frieda P]

Smart woman ;-)

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

lol yeah I started my poetic series over 2 years ago have written 20 or more of them lol did not mean for it to be a series just sorta happened. I let him think his work is better maybe his is better on a different level considering the subject but that could be said for anything artistic.

I loved your poem Im not great at reviewing so lol all I have to say was it is amazing

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

ugh don't know why it posted half my comment than the whole thing sooo annoying

[Astro]

Well I don't know which is more powerful or more palpable your intense admission of love or Lara Fabian's voice crying Je t'aime. Either one comes off powerfully.

[Frieda P]

Wow Astro, to be compared to Lara Fabian in any way, shape or fashion is intense, I just adore her passion, thanks so much!

[Astro]

I think you have more passion that she.

[Frieda P]

Now you're just gonna make me *faint*....................

[khalid]

[Frieda P]

Thanks khalid, nice to see you on again....

"this dance of poetry is sublime elation personified"

Well done Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Ha, I love that ANTnee, thanks so much! x

[ANTO]

Your welcome my friend - I may need CPR after you read my other review ...

[Frieda P]

It's fine, you're cute when you're angry. ;-)

[B-poet]

An epic & eloquent masterpiece. You've been sharpening up your poetic penmanship on this one. Great work Frieda. A captivating write & read. :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Bpoet, glad you enjoyed :-)

[annie lee]

A walk in the lush gardens you create with your ardent words.

[Frieda P]

Thanks muchly annie lee...

[Mark]

sublime elation... ya most definitely. but darkly posies?

[Frieda P]

awh, you've never seen a sad posie before, good for you Mark...

[Mark]

Darkly is an adverb. Posies is a noun.

[Frieda P]

You're getting all technical on me now, this isn't rocket science, it's poetry ;-P

[Mark]

Ya it is. It nust gave me no image. .. dark posies or darkly poses would spark an image.

[Frieda P]

So sue me. ;-)

[Mark]

I'll need an address.

[Frieda P]

Ha you're absolutely correct, I still like how 'darkly' rolls off the tongue, that's my story and I'm sticking to it....see you in court.

[David Scott]

Poetry... the air we breath at times, the steps we take or do not have the will to take, and the thing that touches us most deeply as well. Thank you for reaching our your poetic hand and touching my heart. Thank you for this kiss of thought and filling my lungs with the perfumed air of this poetic breath.
You have penned a gift... Oh, and the French are so passionate are they not?

[Frieda P]

What a sweet review Scott, that's why we let them get away with being so snooty I suppose, ha...thans muchly my friend. :-)

[Dhaye]

Great metaphors. I really like how you use them in this piece.
An inloved poet will always breathe through his/her poesy.
Great!

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Marguerite!

[Kleio13]

[Frieda P]
