Dulcinea dreaming ~ [Inspired by redzone's review]

For Curt, a very special friend ♥

I'd inscribe the sky for you

       capture a fiery 

               constellation,

bring you moonlight

    in a jar,

i'll be your real

                life Dulcinea, 

if you'll be my 

             Don Quixote

under a cool night's 

mid- summer's breeze,

we'll lie naked betwixt 

          velveteen sandy shores,

      surrender ~

              in the undulating surf

   as the crash

             of majesty's seas

 appeases

            our magnificent     

                 yielding

all I ask in return,

        gently fold my affection's

          passion

      keep it in your heart

                for safekeeping, 

a tender keepsake

                  for endless time

Frieda!!!! I read this last night on my phone, you often say "doing the happy dance", well you have me dancing on Quixotic clouds, heading to that "unreachable star"!!!! Can I confess (I know, not god person), you have been my Sweet Dulcinea from the first poem I read from you. And your affection's passion has been gently folded and takes up a good portion of my heart, it's safe and nurtured without asking.

In the spirit of Feudal, Chivalry, and all that is precious, allow me, El Don Quixote, wear your colors as I unashamedly joust at windmills and reach for your stars.. you already hold mine in your hands... would you care to join me in this quest!!??

Luther Vandross, come on Frieda (Dulcinea), he is one of the most powerful romantic singers and this song.. well, nothing is "impossible" or "hopeless" as I listen to it...

You are so freakin' special Frieda, you know I loves you for "endless time".

Oh this is so beautiful...

I'd inscribe the sky for you
capture a fiery
constellation,
bring you moonlight
in a jar

It's so beautiful

Beautiful and loving Frieda.

" I'd inscribe the sky for you
capture a fiery
constellation,
bring you moonlight
in a jar,
i'll be your real
life Dulcinea,
if you'll be my
Don Quixote. "

These lines really means a lot I wish someone like this in my life.

So much sweetness packed into this one. I loved the concept of bringing him moonlight in a jar as well as the line "velveteen sandy shores", that one seemed particularly unique to me. I have felt velveteen sand on just one beach, in Pensacola, Florida.

I absolutely fell into this poem! I was right there, I felt every line, every word, every image was breathtaking!!! This is one of those poems you share and quote - Lovely!

Freda P, i love this poem. I loved the romantic feel as I read, and the music made it feel like a candle lit romance! Beautiful!

Romantic, and I feel the love between the two. I really felt each and every word of this poem!

The sentiment of this piece is so beautiful and filled with love and gently wrapped in passion. I can feel the warmth of love and the feelings of joy radiate out of your words. I liked this piece a lot.
