Musical Seduction   (revised)

Crystal-pure notes,
filtered on zephyrs,
swirl through
sun-dappled trees.

Mesmerising melody
entices me, unresisting,
into forest’s secret glade.

Tendrils of harmony
coil around my being;
draw me into your arms;
weave a shared destiny.

As music spins enchantment,
we spiral upwards:
an inter-twined,
shimmering presence,
whirling into infinity.

coil around my being;
draw me into your arms;
weave a shared destiny.

Hi Nina,

carried on the breeze, (Cliche - and rhymes with "trees")

Mesmerising melody (Good allit)
into forest’s secret glade. (v evocative)

coil around my being; (v clever)

Nina, this is a very romantic piece which uses clever woodland metaphores - it reminds me that Shakespeare set romances in forests.

I could pick almost any line for singling-out as very well written etc - but have highlighted just a few.

A most enjoyable read, thank you.

J.

Hi J

>J>carried on the breeze, (Cliche - and rhymes with "trees")

Is it?  Ok will change it.  Hadn't noticed the rhyme

>J>Nina, this is a very romantic piece which uses clever woodland metaphores - it reminds me that Shakespeare set romances in forests.

Thanks.  I hadn't thought about Shakespeare's romances in forests but you're right he did that in Midsummer Night's Dream. I wanted to capture a dreamy magical feeling in the woodland.

>J>I could pick almost any line for singling-out as very well written etc - but have highlighted just a few.

thanks muchly.

>J>A most enjoyable read, thank you.

I'm chuffed you enjoyed it so.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

This is very romantic Nina. I enjoyed every line.

filtered on zephyrs,

I love your revision of this line.

Mesmerising melody

Nice alliteration here.

Tendrils of harmony

Very romantic

I like the spinning/spiralling theme of the last verse and intertwined being reminiscent of the tendtils in the previous stanza.

Great read

Hi Nina !  :lovie:

This is so magical and romantic ! Delicately written, with wonderful images of nature and love interwoven. The musical background makes it even more beautiful. I can imagine the scene, a figure drifting up to meet her lover, the two of them joined in infinity.... metaphorical, maybe, but I like to think it's about real feelings, Nina.

Here again, of course, it could be a picture of death in her nicer aspects. After all, many a time death has been described as shining light, music, a person spiraling up to meet the loved ones that went before, and so on... An altogether lovely poem.

Hugs,
Sylvia  :butterfly:

Hi Sylvia

>S>This is so magical and romantic ! Delicately written, with wonderful images of nature and love interwoven. The musical background makes it even more beautiful.

Thank you very much.


There were several images in my head, partly metaphorical, partly fantasy and partly the couple coming together sexually and spiralling to a climax.

It is interesting you should mention death. The notion did flit through my mind (I can't resist the dark side, lol), though I hadn't considered spiralling to meet loved ones who have already died.

Thanks very much for your thoughtful comments, much appreciated.

Hi Nina. wave.gif

What a lovely melody on the melody of a seduction. You've certainly drwn me into your rhythms here.  :lovie:

This is simply beautiful!  :cloud9:

Crystal-pure notes,
filtered on zephyrs,
swirl through
sun-dappled trees.

Love this opening - puts me visually into a crisp outdoor setting where breezes blow.

Mesmerising melody
entices me, unresisting,
into forest’s secret glade.

My only nit here is the singular: melody - I want to say "melodies" entice me - the idea of a secret place is very calming.

Tendrils of harmony
coil around my being;
draw me into your arms;
weave a shared destiny.

This is so beautiful - each word draws to the next and visa vie. "coil around my being - cool!  :hsdance:

As music spins enchantment,
we spiral upwards:
an inter-twined,
shimmering presence,
whirling into infinity.

a very strong, succinct and beautious end!

Wish I could stay in this magical place a tad longer.
A beauty Nina!  :cloud9:

Hi Nina,

I don't know how I missed this but I'm glad I found it!  I love it!  The dreamy, fantasy aura is lovely and sensual.

Crystal-pure notes,
filtered on zephyrs,
swirl through
sun-dappled trees.


I think I like these lines the best!  lol  I can see the little notes drifting around on soft winds, in and out of the leaves as though they are playing!  I love the picture it brings to my mind.   sun.gif

Thanks for sharing!
