Best Mellifluous Poems

In my hunger,
I saw a hallucination of heaven.
From afar, visions of a golden glow,
lustered, lingering above a crowded crossroad.
This aura of agave aromatherapy,
left an amorous aroma of romantic ruminations,
so I became a devotee, desiring her divinity.

But, such was her evanescent existence,
those effervescent eyes now seem...

Apples ripen pink, hotly blushing,
though the ardent yellow sun grows faint;
blackbirds sucking soft honeyed sweetness.
like babies at breast, show no restraint.

Mellow ripeness splays rich-toned color;
the trees raise scarlet armed applause.
Red-brown and gray, small creatures hurry
stowing provisions for winter's pause.

Music to my ears, so mellifluous
is the nightingale's song, ambiguous,
Give ear to her notes, they float on the breeze,
swirling through the air, they're tuned to appease;

I dance to her song, so mellifluous,
She's sitting somewhere, inconspicuous,
Her aria drifts down and I’m entranced,
In the stillness, her whistling...

In a world of mellifluous dreams,
Where whispers embrace in soft moonbeams,
A moiety of verses, murmuring in rhyme,
Revealing the secrets of an arcane time

Nemesis, the muse, with susurrous breath,
Weaving tales of love and death,
Her voice, a sigh, a melancholy strain,
As she plucks the strings with a...

Mellifluous her soothing voice 
Each word sugar-coated 
Like sweet honeyed candy
Luscious and mellow  
In her gentle dulcet tones
Flowing sweetly and melodiously
Lyrically euphoniously
Unlike his loud flamboyant tones
Oh such vociferous sounds emit
Until he heard her mellow words
Smoothly ~ gently her voice doth calm

His
flute tune
harmonic
flowing gently
melting every soul in ocean of love ~
Enthralled, her deep eyes closing, mind floating 
and dissolving
in its soft
rhythmic
charm



This is inspired by the story of Hindu God Lord Krishna and Goddess Radharani.....

a mellifluous trickle had given way

to licking her wounds in silent arrest

of the honey flow of her beautiful mind

synapses clotted on stagnant display

like burnt marshmallows on a fire

charcoaled pen roasted at her core

incinerated thoughts feeling briquettes

blackened in a cold cauldron of fear


all that was left...

mellifluous and mesmerizing
a distant melody I hear...

melting my soul softly
with its mellow magic

a flute tune so soothing
sweet and symphonic
transcendental
awakening my spirit
moulding my dampen mind
into a clay diya
spreading love and light -
a light to the realization of
the meaning of my mundane existence
 
as I close my...

Sunlight morphs into the elixir moonlight
dusk wearing a sequined black silken shawl.
And the daylight truckled the way to twilight,
for embracing the shadows, captivating all.
Nightingale heralding serenades to usher night.

A soothing symphony of cynosure sway,
Empyreal cerulean sun, fanned by the moon.
Finding riddles while gently a lissome display,
haphazardly...

Was Mellifluous and Ubiquitous;

Was Mellifluous;
Probably ubiquitous;
Looking ludicrous.

She sang a song so mellifluous

Her tone and pitch full of sweetness

She sang through lips so perfect

That she left me trembling all of aquiver

It is to ineffable to describe how her song was able to shine a light

Within even the darkest night

Brightening up our sight...

Mellifluous tune

Utterly sweet, melts my heart

Spills love, makes me swoon

It comes from where - I know not 

Charming and soothing - an art!

What you don't know, that I know.
My voice so mellifluous
Presenting me as emasculate, 
As if I am heaven's perfect candidate. 
Ohh they don't know, 
As they clothe me in pure perfection. 

Only if they pay attention,
To my speech rather,
They'll see a different dimension.
And not that...
