Curling ribbons of moonlight Fall upon milky skin Tracing the subtle curves Of an illuminated reverie... Lips of honeyed dewdrops Caress his lightly flushed visage Moving with butterfly grace And sending shivers through the breeze... Emerald eyes lay softly entranced By tresses of streaming ebony As whispers of his silver touch Surge through her waiting soul... Two savage dreamers meet Within an alabaster tangle Hearts pulsing with the twinkling sky And believing in forever... *Krista Knutson* ~We are only truly lost when we have lost ourselves~ |

Such imagery, such words, such flow, such talent! Once again, Krista, you amaze me with your talent! You had me in awe from beginning to end! "Two savage dreamers meet within an alabaster tangle hearts pulsing with the twinkling sky and believing in forever" what a beautiful end! The title "Illuminated Reverie" is perfect! It was the title that drew me in. You always think of unique and imaginative titles. P.S. I still love your prose piece "I Am Like The Unicorn!" Hey girl, I'll always remind you of that, and I still have my copy that I printed out!  Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

Great poem, Krista! You have a big heart with lots of love to give and your poetry sure shows it! If this is based on the same dream as last time this must be one hell of a dream.. methinks it must have roots in reality, somewhere..

*SIGH* you just do this so well... you make it look easy. for you it is like breathing and second skin. this is exceptional K, truly I just have 1 question ... where can i get meself an alabaster tangle wrapped in ribbon of moonlight*smile* I just gotta get me a poet LOL later K-gator jm Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding-remain the most beautiful words ever heard. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Krissisisisiisisaaa! YAYYYYYY! That was another, yes ANOTHER wonderful poem. I like how you always seem to put space in... it is just cool. Your talent exceeds anything I've ever seen. I am happy I am able to read as many poems as I have been. Thanks for posting another great poem, my friend."Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

Oh wow!! I LOVE this one Krista!! The title is what did it for me too. . . But it was this verse, "Two savage dreamers meet Within an alabaster tangle Hearts pulsing with the twinkling sky And believing in forever..." That just really made me stop. . . what a great verse. . . Excellent poem. . . just wonderful. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
