braille to the touch...

Love is blind

You wrote in Braille upon my heart

  tattoo'd  black etchings darkly lit

echoes of what was once impressionist art

     vanquish'd with a glance of thy sword

words not decipherable in the name of love

  inscribed delectation's sans an endorse'd mark

vintage designs deleted of scroll'd scriptures expression

   signature'd confessions bestowed within crimson's pen  

hush'd in unsettling breathless interpretations,

     blindly I followed til you resonate'd in barely touch

You wrote in Braille upon my heart
tattoo'd black etchings darkly lit
echoes of what was once impressionist art
vanquish'd with a glance of thy sword
words not decipherable in the name of love
inscribed delectation's sans an endorse'd mark

Tremendous loss and art in these words.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your kind words Pryde.

They way the name of the lover is inscribed on your heart specially since the true love happens to be blind, no other scripture but Braille can describe it. Loved your imaginary as I always do .
Please keep coming with more.. :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Avinash, I"ll see what I can do. ;-)

Often Frieda even when we can see, it takes touch to know what is real.. the touch of words can deceive until you feel the touch of a kiss to know for sure... I too was moved by your opening line, cause I think that it is only through touching someone's heart in ink or in Braille, that real love, hell even real friendship can be seen and shared... I guess even with all our moderninity, it still comes down to touch... and done mutually, together... yes, I found sadness here, but smilled cause it takes a wonderful poet to see impressionist art, and no wayward sword can change that ... ~~redzone

Gawd, I love your heart curt, your sentiments here are touching, thanks so much my sweet friend.

[redzone]

sign your name across my heart, I want you to be my baby... an 80s song. forget the singer, but thought of it after reading your poem..

[Frieda P]

I don't recall that one, who did it, and you can already sign'd your name across my heart ;-)

You wrote in Braille upon my heart...

And with that stunning image, you invite the reader to think about love's blindness in a whole new way...

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Rita, always good to hear your thoughts.

[Jack...]

The theme of this wonderful piece just blew me away. I like how you carry the touch of words through this even if it is a bit lonely it stills fills my imagination with thoughts. You my friend always bring your best to us and I could not be a happier recipient.

Once more I am amazed.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Jack, someone inspired this poem through their 'blind' words, glad you enjoyed it.

Heartfelt piece dear friend.

[Frieda P]

[Praveeta]

hush'd in unsettling breathless interpretations,
blindly I followed til you resonate'd in barely touch

...your words captured the affair so well, Frieda! Always a pleasure...

[Frieda P]

Thanks Kelly, good to see you back at the cafe again....

[Kelly Scheppers]

Being with friends once again is much like drinking that first cup of coffee in the morning...so good, and so warm!

[Frieda P]

Oh that first cuppa is always the best! :-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Love is blind for sure, and there are many ways we can be unfaithful to each other. As always, a beautiful write.

This is the world we live in and these are the hands we're given.

[Frieda P]

Not sure what that means Mark, like the hand we were dealt?
