~Ice Cream Clouds

you nuzzled your head 

unto the shoulder of my soul

tears streamed into my heart

steamy moments of resolution

lingering breaths of quivering whispers

stolen moments of life's endurance

wafting through  athanasia's elusion'd moondust

dreams of uninvited icy cloudbursts

plunging wing'd poetry into posterity

remembering future's sacred pinings

like fire gasping under waterfall's torrents

i wished upon a snowflake before it took flight

   appease this illusion yet one more night

yin and yang ... conflict ... love the title ...i get lost in the pic and "Clouds" is an absolute favorite of mine ... was privileged to hear Ms. Joni Mitchell several times waaaaay back when hippies danced :)
i am plunged instantly into warmth and comfort then pushed deeper ... finding the reality of relationship ...then the magic ...and again reality ... killer last two lines and making them rhyme punctuates the dream ... beautiful poem dear Frieda ... its 5 am and you move me to be falling in love again ..no matter the cost :) Happy New Year for sure!

You harvest your words like a master...weave them with gentleness as though guided by spirit.
Something guides you...I can feel it.
This is a very nice work.

Such a serene, halcyon moment in time, if only it could last a little longer !

An intense and sensuous piece of poetry, penned with idyllic imagery with an accompanying soulful, soundtrack, an enchanting, blissful combination!!
