~dance within the soul

You dance within the soul,

             make it hum so sweetly

songs from a nectar'd god

   as hips sway to reach your moon

           swathing bodies in divine Ecstasy 

      dawn's light dims in comparison

 Aphrodite in whisper'd yearning,

            of Sappho's lyrical adulated whimsy

         took bittersweet allusion's breath away

 joyful recognition echo'd the skies's breezes 

      written on favor'd clouds of surrender

               mesmerized in your explosive eclipses

    enraptur'd frenzy of poetic inspiration

                

breathe you in as a summer's day rising

                             unrelenting abandon of all senses

Listening to this wonderful music you chose and being mesmerized by the words you have written, thinking about the way Sappho wove galaxies into her love poems and with Aphrodite it was her look and touch... but neither of them could pull me into that swirling galactic center where I found a poem, an "enraptur'd frenzy of poetic inspiration" and a desire to dance...

WOW Frieda, wait a second I must catch my breath, sorry, I'm still floating toward the inner star as words continue to echo and inspire... WOW!!

I am always tickled when you reference a mythical character Mrs.R ;) On the other hand, I figured it was only a matter of time before Sappho surfaced in your poetry...this is incredibly hypnotic and sensual...as usual I am reduced to short succinct comments whenever I'm exposed to the grandeur of your words, especially when you start talking about dancing :) xo

[Frieda P]

You humble me sweet Steve, I'm shocked when I reference them, I don't know nearly as much as you do about mythology....thanks so much Benji! :) xo

[kublakhan27]

Always a pleasure my dear :) xo

[Frieda P]

You must be rubbing off on me, next thing you know I'll be writing about Dali ;) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha I don't know, I've seen him peek into your words on occasion ;) xo

[Frieda P]

* see remark above ;) x

[redflutterby]

Id like to dance within my soul...maybe im listening to the wrong music lately. Lovely words here...you are such a wonderful master of feelings in poetic form. My favorite poet...but I guess I'm biased.

[Frieda P]

Awh thanks so much Red...muchly appreciate the sentiment. xo
