Light Kissed

"Light Kissed" Light kissed her through the veil Come tempest on the beach of morning sun With Gold on your naked feet Life has again for you begun Like waves to shore You’ll meet my kiss Slow and full Wet succulent with salty bliss And more my sweet The Realm of Long Forgotten Love Like Dark Green Ivy Life has renewed growth covers your ground stony, it’s swift and powerful runs o’er Wet Green Irish Moss While Briny Blue and Amythest Periwinkles blink and Emerald Green Abalone and Black Bearded Lips open to sweet salt the wounds in their pale then deepest darkest delectables bristling Sea Urchin Pink luring in Odin And marbled Grey Geckos change their colours From your spring to drink Dragonflies lick Life's luscious lips of flame hungry fire in the Gloaming mist Lust and Desire pressing urgency LOVE is let loose held tight by the wrists The Albatross has flown higher and higher A great journey for you both it and the Ancient Mariner have sung Mornings kiss Twilight Sleep brings dreams and delivers Titania and Oberon who watch over Soul's solitary march through Dark Night and it's wrath To walk forever Aphrodite’s path? A nightmare of a pardon, Be blessed with Persephone’s heart Athena’s wisdom, Demeter’s courage All dance within your blood, you are whole Life sings like a Lark Walks with you through the mirrors Long silk Alabaster curtains part Warm Velvet uncovered at last Come tempest on the beach of morning sun With Gold on your naked feet Life for you my Sweet of The Just once elusive now silently and swiftly Light Kissed LIFE has Begun (Lovejoy-Burton/May 2018) 1.

Love the imagery in your poem and the sensual undertones...very intriguing. It's early morning and so I can't play the video just yet. Don't want to wake anyone...but I can assure you, music moves me too. You seem to be a kindred spirit. Thanks for the invite to be in touch. Will take you up on it when I'm not so busy...Hugs :)

I don't know too much about Max Richter...but I do love music and will check him out. I beg to differ, most of your work is perfect...awesome as always, Leanne...Warm wishes...Charlie :)

Yeah, I've discovered Max Richter and Phillip Glass over the course of creating certain poems, love music, love, love, love it...like words and colour, all senses and emotions, thoughts, feelings, on alert when living and creating with music somewhere in my mind or playing through technology. I need music without it, the chapters and pages are empty in my hidden garden and my world. Thank you Charles, for the kind compliment, but I beg to differ with your beg to differ, but will say thank you none the less. :) x

Perfect! You know, I ashamed to say I do not know so many of the new composers (like Philip Glass) who are truly splendid. I am sadly out of touch. Thank you for introducing me to this author.

Check out Max Richter ... so many really superb contemporary composers. Came across a reconstruction of Vivaldi by Max Richter, love it. You may or may not like this, will post it here for anyone else that loves music too/ Thanks Joe. None of my work is really perfect, at all, by a very long shot - some of the music may or may not fit, but if I like it, I'll post it. :)

Joe DiMino, your name sounds famous, like a Leader of the Familia. I shall revert to your short story pages to see where the next chapters have set their plot down. Thank you. I was refining this as your comment came in... I think it is done now.
