At dVerse Punam is hosting Poetics with an invitation to write a poem about music in any form and to include at least two lines from the twelve provided from the songs of Linda Perry.
I have chosen: 7. Fruitloop Daydream and 12. Secret Lover
dVerse Poets – Poetics – Let Music Speak

“Love is a friendship set to music.” Joseph Campbell
Melting Stars In pursuit of manic meaning, that fruitloop daydream, she would take herself to the abandoned factory where the sky became roof, and where she could dance to the music of melting stars, she was the rhythm section, sweating her heart to the beat of a secret lover long gone, though she had never closed that door, her tears dried and smiles were painted across her moves.
