Earthbound Spirit My tribute to Purplemoondoll Kaz

Purple sky with silver moon
I see smoke rising gently
from a smoldering fire

Nearby my angel
with silver wings
Dipping her toes
into a gentle stream
full of moonlight

I can smell the
incense burning
It's fragrance
fills the air

So overpowering
to send you
into dreams

Stars light the way
in a darkening sky
Of midnight promises

Voices heard as
whispers on the wind.
Full of seductive desires

A serpent smile
lures you with
enchantment

Earthbound spirits
Tears of blood fall
gently, from the
changeling moon above

Shadows form, from
behind the moon
Of distant voices
as a sweet memory
that lingers

I sense your presence
I dance behind the
veil of death
On that endless
journey
Twixt twilight
and dawn

Hauntingly
Beautiful.
My angel
with silver wings
and purple heart

Sings the song of love
in the moonlight.
Her purple heart
gently beats on

Kaz
You are my Earthbound Angel

Richard Yes is the answer Purplemoondoll has read this soon after she had written her poem and was honoured i do feel we are kindred spirits and visulise the same images. Thank you for you wonderful comments. I do get inspiried by other poets and i just have to put pen in hand as paper waits. electricblue Richard, maybe you will look at another poem i have written call Darkness of Night this also is dedicated to another poet OWL HOLLOW she is on Poets.com She loves nature the woods and owls Again was inspired by visions and had to pen to paper. Also another canvas awaits. 9/11 again came around to quickly. So I have written a poem dedicated to those who spirits wander at ground zero. I have been there, and it sends a chill to your core. It should be a garden of remembrance. My poem 9/11 Silent tears fall.

Elec, You have some very nice imagery in this one. I see a dark, pastoral scene, with a spirit glowing nearby. Like a Hildebrandt Brother picture. I like it. wcw

Hello WCW Thank you for your comments. I like to paint pictures with my words and hope to put these to canvas, as you know. As for your comment re Hildebrant Brother Picture. I know not of this? please enlighten me. I see a purple background sky with a silver moon with my angel sitting there dreaming in the moonlight dipping her toes in the moonlit river below watching her reflection. I also see a smoldering fire to the far forground along with other images i see. I dedicated this to my poet friend Purplemoondoll. I have been inspired by other poets on reading their lines these images appear and i have to respond. electricblue

Hi Richard Yes Purplemoondoll is aware we have communicated several time and i have told her how her poetry moves me so because as i read her story it becomes a living moving video to me. I see the pictures in my mind so vividly and want to put them on canvas. I thought a trilogy of pictures with this poem. I have the ideas they stay with me. It is just getting down. I have also written a poem dedicated to my friend owl Hollow on POETS.COM she loves nature and most of all owls.

Breathtaking

Absolutely breathtaking. You took me somewhere very special! I feel really honoured that Earthbound inspired you to write this and dedicate it to me - its beautiful! Not only did you capture the essence of the poem but you took it to somewhere new. I could see the images clearly and the rythm dances beautifully as I read. Thank you! Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

Maggie,

beautiful and heartfelt, a fitting tribute to Kaz. As you now know, I am a teacher, so I have some suggestions about punctuation: ll.2,7,13,17,23,25,26,28&last line but one: loose the comma, and then there´s l.11: It´s/Its. Much love, ~Nina

Nina I did not have much schooling. So never too sure about this. Thank you. So please offer assistance where needed as I need to learn about this. To have the poem flow better etc. If I am reading this rightly. The first numbers are the lines to take out the comas? I will take a look. Always Maggie

Yes, please, Maggie

Your words are so beautiful that the flow can be hemmed by such a tiny thing as a comma. Many hugs, ~Nina

Mellifluous

is the first word that comes to mind upon reading this piece, Maggie. Like Nina, punctuation and grammar snag me. It's needs to be its - the possessive form. But a beautiful write that warms my heart. ~ Ronda
