Lapis Lazuli Enchantment

 

 Entranc'd in your quiver

    my heart takes a leap

       dancing a'loft captivating

     stratospheres of blitzing stardust,

          radiating in tinsel'd azure hues

       wafting in violaceous diamonds

           of crystalline lapis lazuli shimmer

         streaming a delicate aria

             in its tempo's hypnotic glint

   cello's hum & shiver a whimsical melody 

                 commanding a prolific message,

          strumming across my heart stings

    striking old familiar love chords

                     striking harmonious notes

      beating in my aching chest 

                  a bumble of dragonflies 

              prancing overhead in 

                     perfect symmetry 

charm'd intentions etch'd

         makes my soul tremble and sigh,

script'd in a deep ginger'd esprit

                    within cobalt's luminous skies

A picture is worth a thousand words they say, but it is as if the pictures you paint upon the mind of the reader are infinitely more indescribable, yet we're left with lasting impressions of a dizzying design upon our minds. Fine work my friend and so characteristically Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Are you trying to say I'm dizzy Astro? ;-) I meant thanks so much, nice to see you on my page again kind sir.

[Astro]

That's just from all the dancing. :)

[Frieda P]

I'm not sure, you tell me...thanks so much A. ;-)

Splendiferous write, milady of the pen.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Pryde, glad you enjoyed this one. Love that word splendiferous...

As usual your poet's gift glides succulently from your pen as if upon dampened lips gracefully.

[Frieda P]

Woo that was a stirring review xavier, thanks muchly ;-)

[?????????????????????..]

This is beautiful, like something from a fairytale. Really good choice of words, I felt enchanted as I read this. Glad to have found this!

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much, I'm jazz'd you found it too!

[redzone]

you know Frieda I started to read and my heart was beaating as fast as the 2 cello's were playing and was completely mesmerized by the flow of your words... I loved: "striking harmonious notes
beating in my aching chest
a bumble of dragonflies
prancing overhead in
perfect symmetry"
and thought YES!!! but then I got to: "script'd in a deep ginger'd esprit
within cobalt's luminous skies" and while my heart beat was faster, all I could think was "SIGH"... I know, I know, not original, but true none the less..

I hope Frieda that you understand that I really love this poem.. hope you don't mind my gushing.. ;o) ~~redzone

[Frieda P]

Are you kidding curt..gush away my sweet friend ;-) I love your review to pieces, made my heart smile, which was in dire need of at the moment. Carry on...:-) xoxox

[redzone]

gladly Frieda, gladly.. you know you should let me hold that heart of your for awhile, I can perhaps talk some sense to it so you smile more.. hmm then again Im sometimes clumsy and maybe best if I just wave to you from across the river...

[Frieda P]

That could get quite messy indeed...*waving* back...........

[David Scott]

This was an enchanting write Frieda. You vocabulary was fresh. The energy was palpable and dreamy.
Thank you for sharing this exceptional write.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Scott, jazz'd you enjoyed my darling. ;-)

[Angel]

How is it that you do this every day? Has one of my fairies put a poetry spell on you? Surely, there must be magic involved...
Each one of these lovely little tidbits is another jewel in a sparkling chain...
You are a true genius, my poetic friend...

[Frieda P]

Ha you're tooooo sweet Angel, more like I sold my soul to il diavolo ha, kidding ;-) Grazie mille my kind friend. x

[Angel]

Just thought you'd like to know...Tate sent me a read request for this piece.
I could have dismissed it, of course...I already reviewed it...but it is such a lovely piece, I figured, why not go back and read it again?
Thanks, Tate!

[Frieda P]

Ha I paid him a lot for that, so grazie, it was so worth the dough I fork'd out ;-)
