Best Rapture Poems

Autumn is a woman. Bedecked in gold and crimson, hair
Upswept, serene, she warmly glistens till capriciously shaking her
Tresses loose and imbibing northern winds, she begins to
Undulate, and underneath a streaked
Magenta twilight sky, this loveliest of
Nymphs then beckons you. . .

Rhapsodies of memories not played since...

native drums beat in sync
        dreams dance round the fire --
my head on his chest

These eyes watch the fierce rain
passing through
as earth moves, vibrating once more
my being shakes again
sensing you
somehow, yes- stronger than before

This heart, the beat quickens
with each sound
breath is taken, and so deeply
air presses, it thickens
I have found
raindrops bring you so close to me

These emotions, my heart

He held his wife’s beautiful body

In rapture they danced under the moon

Never had he felt more alive

Sitting alone in his Care Home room...

She pleaded to me with a blushed body,
ready readily for the holiday my maintinance could muster for her pink engine,
the electricity my overtime bedtime love ryhme induces, innerbody outerbody attention,
my woman pled and I fed, her skin smelled like sweet leather, expensive and exotic,
her taste,...

If I am dreaming let me dream forever
never let me wake from this sweet rapture
as I lie within your arms that hold me tender
wrapped in warmth and lost in sweet surrender
locked in eyes that show me what they're feeling

“Her Ever Changing Moods, the Rapture Reprising”

Lavender seduces symmetry  
in her ever changing moods
slips into something more comfortable

a swollen tangerine sky 
moves its tongue over 
the blues of her violet harbour 

calling the siren home 
through ultramarine waves gone all
rippling golden roses mulberry wine

diaphanous...

I see you in the starlight,
I hear you in the breeze,
your face is with me everywhere,
I fall down on my knees.

I pray with all my heart and soul
that you'll be by my side, 
forever 'til the end of time,
as constant as the tide....

RED ROSE RAPTURE


Red roses in fragrant, Spring bloom,
Dispel any sense of world gloom!


If you know, even a whiff of history, 
Wars are certainly neither new, nor a mystery.


They have a beginning and an end.
Wars do not last forever, that is simplistic pretend.


But the news is...

In a Nutshell

The Son of God our Savior;
A human form He took;
Twas prophesied in days of old;
It's written in His book.

Blood ran on the whipping post,
That my sickness may be healed.
The story has been often told.
It's in His book revealed.

They nailed Him to a rugged...

Once again the silvery moon has pilfered the golden sun
Total eclipse is upon me, time has elapsed suspending orange
Twilight’s begun on the orb’s descending softer glow 

Veiled in twilight…                ...
