Bella Luna che adesca

~Enticing beautiful moon~

Drink in this moment,

within your fickle heartbeat's eye

as the high takes you beyond

bella luna's mysterious allurement

the scent of bee stung wildflowers 

wafting over illuminated butterscotch fields

poppies blooming giddily in nectar'd glee

giggling at the sun's enticing intensity

cosmic fish do fly blithely

 overhead,

blowing kisses above the hemisphere

landing on paisley cloud bursts

singing in tune with moonbeams

drunk on cherry berry wine

a heart a'flutter in joyous jubilation

stardust twinkles in delightful glee,

speaks the universal language of the ages

as bella luna whirls in swoon'd adoration

whilst naked lover's dancing,

           seduces the world to spin upside down

I think I'm dreaming here, somebody pinch me, ha! You make the dullest, hardest days turn into a beautiful, stress-free day. This is just utterly breath-taking.

I'd pinch your cute cheeks if I could get to you noodlebumble! Ha grazie mille you made my day sweet pea. xo

[s y e]

Ha, you have something about my cheeks, woman! ;-P Always a pleasure. xo

I like when you say 'cosmic fish' and 'kisses above the hemisphere' it sounds very surreal

[Simran Kewlani]

Your ability to describe nature and potray them so beautifully and penning them down in some words is magical. Your poems take to a completely new world where only literature and I stand. Amazing!

[Frieda P]

Wow thanks so much for your luverly review Simran!

[Simran Kewlani]

You're welcome.

This piece brought into my mind a drug, tasting sweetly, able to alter perceptions and magnify emotions to tremendous downs and elated ups . . . I quite liked this (apologies for failing to review earlier, I've had this tab open for days now)

[Frieda P]

Interesting Tai, how did i miss this glowing review, thanks so much...

[Gypsy Warrior Queen]

this takes me back...back to my days in Italia...free roaming ...blissful....youth...there was no fear then and loads of moonlight! Thank you for transporting me today back to when it was simpler. I need this and
the line...... seduces the world to spin upside down.......keeps me:)

[Frieda P]

Wow Italian must have that effect on everyone, feel the same way. I wrote a poem about when I was in Alberobello, not sure if you're familiar with it, three glorious weeks, I can't imagine living there, thanks, now you reminded me. ;-)

I have been sufficiently seduced, but when am I not made so by your words? ;P My thirst for your literary epics (and they ARE epics) can never be quenched, no matter how many of its moments I drink in. You are an incredibly blessed poet, and I'm happy to be able to say I'm friends with someone of such inscrutable talent :) xo

[Frieda P]

Oh my Benji, you just blew Mrs R's stiletto's right off her feet...seriously, you just blew me away sweet Steve...thanks so much, I really do appreciate your continued support and friendship. xo

[kublakhan27]

You're most welcome Frieda :) xo

[Odysseus Wanders]

Thanks Frieda...

[Frieda P]

This made me smile Terry, thanks, must have been the sulfites in the wine ha ;-)

[Cassie]

Wow!!!! this one made me take in this moment of reading such a beautiful piece this morning, once again you did breath fresh air through this. Very nicely done

[Frieda P]

Thanks Cassie, jazz'd you enjoyed, I rather like the way this one turned out too...

[Mark]

Alice been handing you candy? Reminds me of a Peter Max painting. The colors!!!

[Frieda P]

Ha, she took me along for the ride, woo Peter Max, I'll take it!

[Rita L. Sev]

The magic that the moon can bring... Frieda, you have a way of creating adjectives that make the reader not only see the image, but taste it... Bella scrittura, il mio amica... (or something like that...) :)

[Frieda P]

Heck if I know, I wing Italiano myself, but I got it and grazie mille paesana ;-)
