You are my b'MuSEment...

You're my muse,

you run hot and cold

icy fire 

runs through 

your inky veins

at times you gut me,

like a twitch

 raining in my eyes

flip'd over, 

 warm words resemble

tull'd silk perfection,

sideways again in

darkly cobalt'd hurricane tides

bubbles of recess'd glint

a farsighted  edgy distraction

you give it to me all

from end to beginning sighs

Burbles of wild 

Roddenberry brambles

ramble on

like blistering skies romancing 

a dimwitted  sapphir'd night

 encounters,

stuck shanghaiing 

a lightning

bolt's stagger

fell to earth in a sting

of exasperated bumbl'd bees

you sang off key in the shade

of lemongrass' canopy

hush'd me with a groan of

palm tree fronds in heat

as heart's analogy

melted in a

mellow

 fluff

of

 marshmallow

gooey 

goodness

continuously

 aMUSEd

as you

drip

into

pen'd

consciousness....

I'll start with the technical bits...inky veins, I love that...and shanghaiing...even I would never think of using that word Mrs.R ;P And of course I love the prominent presence of blue in this piece, cobalt'd, sapphire'd and so on...the presence of blue is always a sure-fire way to my poetic heart ;P

Now for the important points. This is hands-down one of the most eloquent odes to a muse I have ever read, and the rapid popularity that this one has garnered suggests that I'm not alone. This is definitely one for my library...the depth and richness of the emotions in this piece just demands repeated readings. I am truly in awe of this one. And if anyone's muse demands such devotion, it's yours, for she's made you the best poet in the Cafe...I won't speak for anyone else, but you set the standard and raise the bar higher than anyone I can think of in terms of marrying pure emotion and pure imagination. You've done it again love :) xo

Didn't notice there was so much blue in this one till you pointed it out...hmm coincidence? ;-) Thanks muchly Benji, you humble me always with your kind words my sweet friend. xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha Good thing you have Benji around to notice those things Mrs.R ;) Always a pleasure my dear friend...xo

[Baby Ricochet]

Interesting ode to one's Muse. Sometimes I don't know what the hell my muse has been smoking.

[Frieda P]

Ha I hear you Baby, I wondered the same thing when writing this one.

[A. Amos]

[A. Amos]

She nailed this song:)

[Frieda P]

I had goosebumps listening to her rendition. she reminds me a bit of KD Lang...thanks for sharing A.

[A. Amos]

Yes she even look like younger version of KD, one of a singer who touches your soul. Glad you enjoyed:)

[redzone]

Hmmmm, I wonder, is becoming conscious of someone, a farsighted distraction, a lemon grass encounter, is it always an analogy melted in a mellow fluff of marshmallow gooey goodness??? You know Frieda I think it most definitely is.. your poem is all kinds of the mushy heart confusion that happens when aMUSEd drips into pens meeting with paper... and then all lightning breaks loose and the real fun begins.. oh my I wanna be there!!! Did i mention how muchly I love your loverly poem Frieda, well in case you miss it, LOVE YOUR POEM FRIEDA... ;0) ~~redzone

[Frieda P]

Ha 'mushy heart confusion', I love that curt, jazz'd i was able to confuzzle you sweet man. ;-) Grazie mille, so thrilled you enjoyed this one, it was fun to write.

[redzone]

Frieda I can tell you had fun writing this poem as every syllable splashescolors brightly on the page /screen .. great to hear you smile Frieda

[Frieda P]

I did, it was one of my confuzzle'd minds more fun moments. ;-)

[Scott Metro]
