Wafting Wildflower Musings

You whispered so gently when you tucked violets behind my ear
as we writhe on a bed of windswept  poppy petals,      the earth moved
the sun shone on your face whilst the moon dipped in our sighs,

that was the last time I felt your warmth aside me
yet in the stirring chill of unfurled dark November mornings,
I can still smell the wafting scent of wildflowers in my hair

This is so heart wrenching, stunning and just beautiful. There is so much emotion to it.

"as we writhe on a bed of windswept poppy petals, the earth moved
the sun shone on your face whilst the moon dipped in our sighs,"

-- wow Frieda, you write some amazing lines that just blow my mind.... This is what I call perfection.

The words and imagery int his tear at you. It is a poem of love and loss. It was quite breathtaking in its delivery.

You need to put inserts into fantasy stories. I love the pieces you write like this. It's so pretty. I can't even find the right word for it. You're one of the few people on here that can always put out the emotions and scenery into your work, making it shine bright and clear to anyone who reads.

Now you do know the words that let the emotion out don't you Frieda?

[Tai Ryens]

As always, you portray the longing for someone (or something) quite flawlessly and with divine simplicity: that it was there once and isn't coming back.

[Frieda P]

Thanks for your gracious review Tai, always love hearing your thoughts.

Lovely...windswept poppy petals.

Sensual and beautiful, yet another pristine garden from the landscape of your poetry, dear Frieda.
Should I lose all memory today, I pray at least these words would stay.

[Frieda P]

What a wonderfully sweet thing to say Misery, grazie mille my sweet friend.

Wow, I really enjoyed this poem a lot. Not only was the sensory detail there, but I also liked the concept of how a person carries a part of the past with them--like the scent in one's hair. Great write.

Jazzed you enjoyed, thanks so much Cord.

[Michael G. Smith]

This makes me sad if I ever had to remember the intimacies if the one I love and makes me happy realizing I don't. Such a dreamy write.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Mike, much appreciated.

Oh I have missed reading your fine words Frieda! You have such a way that brings out so many emotions when I read your poems, soft, sad, strong, gutsy, gorgeous. You do them all with such style!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much wordwarrior, nice to see you back!

This makes me miss summer and yearn for spring already. Is there anything better than love outside, when nature seems to suit itself to our liking? Beautiful, wistful poem.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Epi, greatly appreciate your thoughts here.
