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

Thank you so much Michelle! The music that is the basis for this contest really dictated the overall feeling of this poem - was hoping to capture some of its enchantment. Thank you for affirming my efforts! If you haven't already take a moment to listen to Gymnopedie #1. I have a feeling you will be as enchanted as I was with its serenity and romantic beauty! Take care my friend! Blessings!
