ALIVE

with water ease
dripping from trees
savoring the earth
beneath a velvet washed
cranberry sky
i walk
with wind laced hair
on balconies brushed
and magenta beribboned,
reaching to remember
the man who lingered
spontaneously until dawn...

from moss draped shadows
he comes softly alive
glowing delicately crimson/gold
caressing to survive
my fantasia designs
finger painted on his flesh
while he danced
in burgandy flames,
pausing only an instant
to drink this emerald body
before stirring wind softly onward
into his ruby dawn...

Look up the word 'poetry' in the dictionary and you may see this piece used as the example. The imagery used washes over the reader in waves...the tide rolls out and when it rolls in more dazzling imagery is delivered to the write. If one was to pick only the myriad colors mentioned one could build a spectrum of light shining different hues. Very beautifully done, jeannemarie! take care...dan

love the colours you present us with, jeanemarie... such a wonderful insight into a fantasy world where the dream ends (or perhaps begins) in that 'ruby dawn'... beautiful

[jeannemarie coulter]

thank you very much

This is so awash in color which helps move your mood and set a glorious scene in your fantasy world that is grounded, but feels like a swirl of hues with a touch of passion and desire, and one melancholy kiss.

Lovely wording and I really enjoyed, "caressing to survive
my fantasia designs."

[jeannemarie coulter]

a fantacy lover comes alive in the echoes of your mind

I believe this is an apparition come alive as a direct result of your finger-painted fantasia designs. Now, I do not profess to know the mechanics of otherworldly machinations other than to be wary of their possible existence. So, I will applaud you for what I, as of yet, fail to understand.
