~How shall I pen thee?

COLLABORATION ~ Frieda & Jack

How shall I pen thee, let me cipher the ways

pure bliss wafting on crystalline seascapes

ravishing the cerulean ripples of time's eye

deep and darkly ranges of mountainous clouds

devoured by eclipses of the moon's rage

 

lyrical verse of a rhythm’d release floating on

sweet chorded ventures in breath-taking time

sheet music love letters tossed to the deep

sandcastle dream waves now captured

in sunset wisdom, tangerine promises whispered

 

 Waltzing on thin ice whilst reaching the stars

dancing under sunbursts crushing burn

you surrendered your heart within my hands

stepping outside reality's gated bridges

i'm flying loftily high on your script'd tunes

 

melting, moon beam reflections in your eyes

pouring into me, slowly, sweetly as I blush

rose garden pastels on your lips…quivering

melodies of autumn leaf descent, lilting fantasies float,

resting within the crescendo of your love  

Author's Note

Reviews

[Tam Warink]

In every age there is a mechanic determinism that imposes itself upon the art and artist that abides in that sliver of time. It is as though lesser Vermeers have rallied in support of guilders and in so doing have provided bread to the sellers of minerals and oil - the ingredients that grind true art into a framed submission. Every painting has its flaws otherwise it would not be human. This is very human.

[NeiL ArandA]

An uncanny alliance between two brilliant poets. What do we expect as a result. An out of this world piece. To be honest I need a language translator to even grasp what are you guys talking about. I'm a bit slow when it comes to high caliber piece from extraordinary poets and writers. Ok I will go with what Tam Warink think and say ... This is out of my league .. beautiful in your own rite !!!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Neil. Poetry means what you want it to mean. Frieda is such an amazing poet that when she writes it penetrates me and places me under this wonderful spell. I understand her meaning as it touches me. Just go with what it says to your heart.

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille NeiL.........

[NeiL ArandA]

Wow ...that's awesome...You seem both work well in tandem .When you combined your thoughts its like watching a synchronize swimming ...It would be a long while before i get to that stage...

[Frieda P]

It's easy when you're writing with someone as talented as Jack, thanks again Neil.

[NeiL ArandA]

A pleasure to have you both on my camp !

"I shall gift you letters...everyone of them...take as many as you want...
I shall give you colours...the seven...and one more...black...
Take birth...arise...pen thyself...I am too weak to pen thee!"

[Frieda P]

Very sweet poetic response, thanks so much Chandradhish!

[Tai Ryens]

Love existing within the nature in the form of poetry, ingredients left behind for those with the intellect to decipher and portray human emotions with . . . I quite liked this, it was truly breathtaking.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Tai, glad you enjoyed.

[David Scott]

And two poets share a mid-autumn's night dream...
Lovely collaboration from both pens.

[Frieda P]

So jazz'd you enjoyed our collaboration Scott, thanks muchly...

[Jack...]

Thanks so much David.

[Leslie Philibert]

This has a nice 19th century neo-romantic feeling, a touch of Keats, this impresses with the right
use of imagery and words..

[Frieda P]

Oh I like where you took this Leslie, thanks so much.
