Dance To Love - POTD - A Visual Art Poem Tribute

 POTD 23rd June 2019

Maria Williams 
Presents

Dance to Love

A tribute to my Dad, the late - Wilfred Forbes

She danced with wild abandon
she danced without a care
With sun kissed skin, her arms flung wide
Wild flowers everywhere

I chanced upon this secret glade
while walking early morn
A sacred aura surrounded it
a jewel in the dawn

A type of place where angels dwell
A place of Hopes and Dreams
A magic place of lush green plants 
And sparkling bubbling streams

I drew back lest she saw me, 
I dared not break the spell
Wild petals swirled around her
and to the ground they fell

Like homage to a Goddess
 that she must surely be
For Gods to but gaze on
 not mortals such as me

She twirled around so fast
I could barely see her feet 
And even though I stood afar 
I knew she gave off heat 

When her tempo slowed right down
 the air became quite chill 
The Elements were but her slaves 
she ordered them at will 
 
I could have watched forever
 so mesmerized was I
What would I give to dance with you?
 I murmured with a sigh

To dance with wild abandon
 with this Angel from above
A hundred birds would sing out loud
 to watch us Dance To Love

by Maria Williams


This tribute is an enactment of a vision as told to us by our late Dad, which he maintained he witnessed as a young man.
He was an extraordinary orchestral musician and teacher to 
some world greats.
He was accomplished in no less than 18 instruments, his favorites being the lead violin and xylophone (played with 8 hammers).

Thank you for listening and watching this video.

Premium Member The Lea of Love

Leafy meadow
He lies her down
Defrocked from
Her summer gown
 
Bodies bronzing
In the blazing sun
Natures wanting
Scents will run
 
Exploration
As their hands caress
He gentles down
On her body, impress
 
She welcomes her love
Through her gates of bliss
In this place of colour
Kiss after kiss
 
Their sweat-ed dew
In the sun glistens
Natures audience
Warmly listens
 
A gentle breeze
As the plant life sways
Like the rhythmic action
On her he lays
 
Orchestral sounds
Echo their all
Moans and groans
Their loving vocal
 
They sigh in tandem
Sharing each other
Collapsing in cuddle
In this lea of clover

Premium Member Ruby Leaves and Breezes

Written: August 28, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Joseph May 

          ***********

building celestial diamond — eolith fog glamor
yet not every flame is meant to last
there were no sacred vows, oaths, or clamor
just the gentle whisper of a love we outgrew

amber breezes carry dancing embers
not every farewell requires a curtain drawn
ruby leaves drift slowly, tracing days' tempers
while breeze sings dulcet songs on the worn trees

kindling leaves mumbled nostalgia’s orchestral pulse 
akin to the gentle blinking of newborn stars
the harvest moon glows with ancestral impulse
casting shadows shaped such as memories

fallen gold blends with ivory joy 
where owls sing hymns in a minor key
hope flickers in the silence of every decoy
as roots hold secrets only the night can view

That Feeling

the rope was
at least
twenty
five

feet and mine
fifty eight but
the slack 
makes

me think that 
miss calculation
was made and being

afraid of
losing her
i pull to pull

her up but

there is no
weight so afraid
i afraidly wait and

then pull a little
to pick up
her

and at that
exact moment
in time

timing her assent
the umbilical
cord 

has turned
onto into the staff
of a chord accordingly

to the composer's
ear perhaps
sounding

like something
that has gone
extinct and is

dying
but not
knows why

so the
orchestral
score shows

me in
cat years
three out of

nine
and so
with four

more
to go i
think i will

live in
a city in
Ecuador

Premium Member Searching For Happiness

I love to wander
amongst meadows and fields,
the sky's like blue satin
the lake's like a sheet.
The air's pleasantly cool,
as birds chirp and glide
and crickets, as is their wont
invent an orchestral chant.

There in a bower
two young lovers meet,
their arms are entwined
in a sweet embrace,
and quickly the sweethearts
with a lingering amorous kiss
seal their secret loving retreat.

Bells suddenly summon
a flock of white sheep,
I dare not count them
Afraid I'd go to sleep.

The spring is still gushing,
thin reeds in abundance
on the uneven edge.
Serenity surrounds me
All's beauty and grace
For Lord, you are everywhere
Giving us hope and care.

Symphony of the Sea

Listen to the orchestral tune,
The sea sings its song as the ship moves along,
Serenading to the silvery moon.

The wind swishes and whooshes, humming its song,
As it wings on its winding way.
The strings of the stays strum along,
As the ship does its swing and a sway.

The wake bubbles aft,
The peak slams a beat like a retreat,
While the wake works up a cadence with the turn of the shaft.

The sea, a grand orchestra plays,
Its symphony so wild and free,
A melody of sights and sounds,
Nature's grand symphony.

Loose blocks beat a tattooed rhythm,
As the ship moves through the night,
The boats creaking at the davits,
Add to the sounds that ignite.

The thrum of the engines, constant and low,
Adds bass to the sea's melody,
While the pings of the sonar, high and fast,
Make the perfect harmony.

Tolling of the ship's bell, clear and strong,
Joining the choir with glee,
And the bellow of the foghorn loud and long,
A trumpet of the sea.

Flurry of seamen, busy and bright,
Adds to the orchestra's play,
As howling winds and banshee screams,
Compete with the symphony at bay.

Listen to the orchestral tune,
The sea sings its song as the ship moves along,
Serenading to the silvery moon,
The strings of the stays strum along.

As the orchestra plays, the ship moves on,
In a grand symphony of the sea,
Nature's beauty on full display,
A breathtaking sight to see.

Premium Member She Exits the Shower

She exits the shower
As i towel her down
Her long blond hair
Skin so brown
 
With her back to me
In masterly strokes
Every part i caress
Her wanting stokes
 
She takes my hands
To her breasts she cups
Our torso's close
In standing up
 
She bares her nape
Invites me to kiss
As my blood responds
To my manly bliss
 
This path of passion
We tenderly follow
Our bodies racing
As we lovingly wallow
 
We lie on the bed
Two adventurers in roam
Exploring new worlds
To eventually find home
 
Sensual finds
As they make their way
A pillar of strength
Through a secret gate plays
 
Curvaceous mounds
With pert like cairns
Forested grasses
Wonderment stare
 
Through the open gate
In this warm moist land
Signals in sync
As we read our commands
 
In movement so tender
With sighs and groans
Between the V
As he's welcomed home
 
In rhythmic rhyme
Their music plays
Notes are hit
In orchestral display
 
Kisses shared
Bodies slide
Hearts content
In sensual glide
 
Eruption emits
His lava flow
Tanned maiden
Golden glow
 
Orgasmic glands
Climax embrace
In their world of love
This two have graced

Premium Member Cobblestone Echoes

Cobblestone Echoes
                          by Odin Roark

Ancient stone
keeper of darkness
of auras reaped from high seas
vast is your harvest
from earth rumblings beset by molten tears
to charred obsidian made hard
glass reflecting where primates once clamored upon

From paws a running
sniffed calloused drippings in peril
where sandal swathed footsteps
dodged blade and spear
as wash water dumped from high
added slippery footing for predators ever lustful
ever hungry
ever historic
 
Now the high noon of modern life
the wonder among your melodies
amidst recent fabrications emulating your path
you the wrinkled skin spirit of ancient masons
who served sun-baked feasts
from the past of pasts

Alas…

Genuine micro-canyons of irrigated seed and drift
send the spirits aloft from once grasses high
reminding us that while calendars may crumble
time’s enduring stone of old remains original
transcending the language of vowel and consonant
acknowledging the reach of sentient eye to eye
the whispered caress beneath a Nike sole
sharing the tongues of old
echoing the murmurs of weary travelers
the severed limbs of warriors
the rivers of plasma-red passion
polishing fossils within
within
within 
 
Yet many choose faking Nature’s setting
even making ready counterfeit copies
to pacify the blind living without preference 
massaging serpentine monsters of ignorance 
whose Gucci laced feet now prance upon this facsimile
sold as make-believe
glittering’s bondage
hidden in fakery
having not a clue of the Carthaginians
or Mediterranean isles of blood and sweat
from whence it all came

For like Rodeo Drive’s cobblestone plazas
where modern celebrity prisons of today
masquerade as credible reality for borrowed tomorrows
knockoff décor identity everlasting
unaware their own history
reaches inevitable fade out
may never know the hidden messages

Perhaps…

The subtle cacophony of shadow and whisper
cobblestone’s enigmatic infernal
made orchestral for those who can hear
those who dare see through the darkness
those who can be moved and touched by
shadowed silence protected with truth
will experience the magic

How few seem to hear the deafening message

Premium Member Makeshift Fort

Strains of notes shuttle me back 
to my grandfather’s makeshift -fort
crammed with songbooks, bows, and pipes.
Here, we would empty our shoulders
 from a rough sail;
he scattering fiddle tunes on painted halls--
his eyes half-closed ,melting the noise 
of an anxious world, of teary wrongs.

‘Bathe in night's luster ’ he mused,
smitten by some Gerhwin's refrains...
and my rubber spine would bend with
violin strings weeping till we drowned
in trusses  of orchestral magic...
 
Sometime in fall,  dirge of nightfall exhumed
 his lust for old charm...
and my eyes fall on the moat of vagueness ,
lost in the maize of this space
utterly cold.damp. unsung,
 plucking his strings so hastily uninvited.
