~Pausing on a sigh

I paused in your disposition,

an excerpt of my sentiment's

timely extracted passages

affection's cadenced inclinations

complexion's blush'd bias tendencies

dusky clouds amidst delectation's reflections

wildflowers breath at the nape of my neck

scent'd of twilight's mysteries & amber brandy

a calm filled of shivers kind sympathy and tea

parched of wither'd revered druthers, 

begotten heavy sighs of never forgotten harmony

etch'd within scorched reminiscence's memoirs

rewritten script'd blossomed desires on dusty shelves

smoldering in long ago places of nightfall's rhythm 

haunting wakeful hours of dreams without rhyme

wistful for the dance 'tween spaces of sublimity's poesy

Dear Frieda, you have a mastery over transporting your reader to places that can only exist in some impossibly beautiful realms of their beleaguered minds...Here, I was transported to a beautiful, hazy twilight with a dream lover in a quaint, lovely villa full of comforts, a poor, harassed me can only think of...

scent'd of twilight's mysteries & amber brandy
a calm filled of shivers kind sympathy and tea
parched of wither'd revered druthers,
begotten heavy sighs of never forgotten harmony
etch'd within scorched reminiscence's memoirs
rewritten script'd blossomed desires on dusty shelves

A thundering ovation!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Divya, that's the best compliment a poet could ever get, if you felt transported I'm ecstatic my friend!

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Such a serene place you took me to, Friedalicious!...

I can always count on going to a utopic place when I read your words...
The sky's the limit, and your butterfly wings have endless possibilities....

Beautifully penned!~xoxo~:)

[Frieda P]

Now there is a use of words! A song all of its own. You've really got a handle on such writes Frieda. I am astounded.

[Frieda P]

Coming from a poet I admire so much, that really means a lot, thanks so much Ken.

Your imagination is unparalleled Mrs.R, as is your talent. It's becoming increasingly difficult for me to offer elaborate reviews as much as I want to...sometimes I just have to marvel at your gift...I'll never know how you manage to churn out such masterpieces on a daily basis...what can I say, you're the best :) xo

[Frieda P]

Wooo, smiling here, whilst doing the happy dance, grazie mille my friend! ;-) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha It's done for today, the playoffs start tomorrow though ;) xo

Well the song is one of my newest favorites.....I absolutely love it!! Play it on youtube all the time. And your poem sighed within my heart. Those sweetest moments may be tucked away on shelves or in other places but it only takes a few words to draw them forward in our minds. So we may relive them with the softest sighs. xo

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Red, appreciate the sigh, love this song too. xo

You made me sigh while reading this, it's wonderful. I especially love the line "wildflowers breath at the nape of my neck". :]
