Beauty's Rhapsody

Beauty’s Rhapsody 

In shadows of candlelight your sweet arias sing
Reveries flow in pearls of satin dew
With your sweetness I soar on silk wings
Cherished moments in the presence of you.

I fly through skies on your dulcet tones invitation,
Abide in moments of floral amber lights,
Gossamer hues of wind chimes perfume elation
As I drift in your scented mystery of spice

Your grace notes linger in andantes sweet
Seasons entwine between lines of your symphony
In garlands of your aromatic lyric complete
Your beauty shown to me - unmasked rhapsody
