...and you whispered

...and you whispered

A Poem by Frieda P
"

'speak to me of love'

"


...and you whispered, 'speak to me of love',
   the spaces 'tween the soft rain on a summer's day
         tangerine skies that glisten over a moonlit bay
a quiver of heartstrings, the arrow that swiftly flies
    sharing the wind within a spring's hushed lullaby
   dance's rhythm as one in giving unselfishly 
        yet, movement as separate breath's unto each other
the gentle bend of olive branches, roots of a majestic oak,
   heart's inner peace planted in lush gardens of fruitful faith
courage to fear the nakedness of vulnerability's passion,
    weaknesses endearing strength in the eye of storms,
   acceptance that affection has one purpose but to be fulfilled
       small gestures, melting melodies of praise, 
a prayer of endearment's trust in the enthralling pain
     of being touched by overwhelming tenderness, 
        to dream a dream upon another soul's desire of willfulness
               in the gift that can not be denied for a lifetime






"Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls." 
― Khalil GibranThe Prophet

what a sweet, romantic, dreamy write.. has me sighing, thinking.. I want that... such gorgeous lines in this.. dances well with the beautiful music.. I am going to call you the queen of flow, because your flow is always so exquisite and enchanting within your pieces... we all want that person that is going to be the eye in our storm, calming us when things get stormy, someone that gives us "butterflies" when we see them, think of them, or are near them... someone gives us courage, comfort, accepting us for who we are and understanding what makes us "tick"... someone that shows such tenderness and love... that knows that it is in the "little things" that are so endearing and meaningful..

Never heard this song before, but the longer I listen to it, the more I really like it...

another amazing write ma'am... this one has the hopeless romantic in me sighing with bliss.. shame on you for touching the mushy side and stimulating her to speak... jeeez.... makes me want to go write something sweet and tender.. grrr @ you!!

Hello...there...and I whispered into your ear...and then I woke up...where was I --- like the presentation...yet before you beat me to it...the font must go...and please make it a bit bigger...I have been reading longer writes as of late...need to pace back to poetry...27 chapters is bit much to give a review...and I sustained a leg injury...and the newborn baby...but I shall return to reciprocate....good day...FP...lots on my plate...
