Best Rhapsody Poems

I remember
when I was a poor boy
and nobody loved me
mamma's tears felt like acid
burning holes in my heart -
I became breathless

triggers came without a guarantee
violence swept like an adversary
in silence i found my sanctuary
my bubble an escape from reality

grenades of my ancestors
detonated along my destiny
I...

When morning breaks in shades of wine...
  with claret skies to blush the dawn...
     I will stretch and yawn, and thank the night
           for this polished, apple day
 
I will...

  Paint me on your canvas of rosy dawn,
     dewy scarlet daisy blooms in soft hues,
       your cherry-dipped fingers dwelling upon,
         crimson cool honey dripping to...

 Somewhere between our song, he is there
like a delicacy on my tongue;
on my fingertips he burns
the silence on my eyelids,
and even the pang that he leaves
is a blaze in itself.
And what is compelling
about the maleness of this star
is how his glance can still reach...

A woodland path in the dappled sun- hushed and quiet
where I come free my breast and silently ponder.
I gaze upon a spiritual calm and listen to its quiet song
releasing tranquility of mind that does wander.

Between branches of towering mixture of spindly trees
encased in morning sunlight...

HUNGARIAN RHAPSODY

Her hand’s swan-like dance,
ivory shadow puppets
romance. Hungarian rhapsody.

The musician sans existence
as emotive fingers move
imaginary marionettes
with splendiferous precision.

Drama drops onto piano keys
occasionally taking a gentle stroll
then in sensuous sway, sashaying
like an exotic dancer. The musician

plucks and plinks as if
with chameleonic charm, like an
angel playing a...

Music blended with nature's dark, unbroken cadence and rhapsody.

Waves crashing vigorously, reverberating in my mind with the graceful notes of 
the piano, the fragrance of wet foliage and the perfume of wildflowers mingling,
I perceive a view of inspiration for this poet's muse.

Twittering, chirping birds wrapped...

The desolate wasteland of deprivation traversed 
by my jagged life that tried so long so very hard  
to smoothen the angularities of the serrated mind, 
swirling in the egregious whirlpool of indignation. 

Sucked into sordid abyss of despondent delirium,
I searched out for myself a...

Stay elusive shade
of my beloved
I wish to caress
the rounded hills
of your form...

My hands seek
the fertile valleys
entangled in gentle branches
green and cool
that are you...

You, silent giver
of secret worlds
sweet love of non-illusion
hands of tender leaves...

With obedience of steel
my heart follows your attraction
why lure me with solicitations
only to...

Breath breathes into breath
as midnight air is captured, 
Flesh melts into flesh 
upon the wings of rapture, 

Black paradise erupts within 
Shadows move in rhythm 
Kiss envelops kiss 
The flower engulfs the stem, 

The rose bud opens her petals 
embracing the heated thunder 
the feeling...

I will write a few gathered words about my lover,
     from the past;
and will collect my tears in a big glass jar,
that's a lovely dress, he said, now take it off.
How our bodies fit together like puzzle pieces,
  he whispers...
