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. :)

[Leslie Philibert]

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Leslie~!

Lapis lalzuli has such a rich history and color. It was the royal color of ancient Egypt and your poem captures the magic of the stone:

wafting in violaceous diamonds
of crystalline lapis lazuli shimmer
streaming a delicate aria
in its tempo's hypnotic glint

This image is breathtaking.

[Frieda P]

Intensely sublime…. the danseuse pirouettes again!

[Frieda P]

Did a plie to your review, thanks Rachelle!

[Giggling Star]

When I read your poems, this one in particular, I wonder where these words come from ... how your mind creates them. I believe you are a right-brain thinker, a creative artist ... while I, on the other hand, use my left-brain more ... can't seem to tap into where all this stuff is supposedly stored. If we could combine the two ... between us we would make one hellava woman!!! LOL WE COULD RULE THE WORLD!!!!!

[Frieda P]

Ha, as long as I can borrow those shoes, you're on!

[redflutterby]

Absolutely brilliant poem hun.... it enchanted me from the first line and danced me to the end. Felt like I was in a ballroom surrounded by dancers in varying colored attire swinging round and round to a full orchestra. My heart is still smiling with the joy. Sigh..xo

[Frieda P]

Oooh love a sigh from you Red, grazie mille my friend. xo

[Jack...]

Melodically flow your words today dear poet, strings of a longing paradise fill the air as I read this fine work this morning. Your pen holds the magical music that brings your meanings to our eyes, our minds and our hearts. Soothing is a word that comes to mind. serene is another, but always and without fail...Amazing is the word of choice when I read your poetry.

Beautifully penned dear poet...a journey for the senses.

[Sami Khalil]

had to go to my dictionary ... thank you for my new words :) wonderful tribute to the cello .. those two cello guys are incredible .. i sent them to my grand daughter who, now 13, was becoming disenchanted with her violin (she was 8 or 9 at the time ... i am so glad she has continued with it ... your poem has a music of its own Frieda ... this one is quite magical ... "a bumble of dragonflies " ... marvelous! that one line takes me out of the cold and lazing on the shore ... golden sun all around and those dragons flying and bobbing amidst the cat tails ... i can even smell the warm earth ..

[Frieda P]
