Like frosted glass is this night.
Daylight’s clouds - restless like my love -
and scattered wildly heretofore -
somehow made a pact
to nimbly rearrange themselves.
Congealing in this chilling autumn eve -
translucent -
the clouds have blended in with dusk,
obliterating stars. . . and even shadows.
Luna, sad like me,
cannot transmit her moonlight
to cheer me.
Oh, to be again - enraptured!
To see your unique come-hither smile;
to hear the sound of honey in your voice;
to feel that splendid tingle within me
as you shine your gorgeous eyes -
radiant upon me!
Where are you now, my love -
my sweet, alluring boy?
And where are the stars
that blazed for me within your eyes?
Where is the crystal nightfall
of my fondest dream?
Oh, to feel again. . . enraptured!
But not even the smallest gleam
of you remains.
And not even Goddess Moon
can penetrate
this deep abiding gloom.
Faerie dust is finer than stardust
Glitzier than rainbow sprinkles
More joyful than moondust
I never knew until tonight
But here she is, being poured out
By a gorgeous night faerie
I am amazed and enthralled
Enraptured by her prettiness
Faerie dust enhances my dreams
The moon and stars shine oh so bright
A tapestry of chrystal light
The joy in me that it imparts
A boy beneath this wondrous sight
This story told without a sound
Brings glory to my eyes unbound
The beating of my captured heart
While I'm enraptured on the ground
My thoughts on life are running deep
Once sought forever mine to keep
It seems a perfect work of art
One dreams while drifting off to sleep
In memories of youth, love's tender grace,
A boy I cherished, time's embrace let slip,
Where moments froze, in an enchanted space,
And heart's sweet melody danced on love's tip.
Eternal hours, in his eyes, I'd find,
A universe that only we two knew,
In stillness, lost, our spirits intertwined,
In that suspended time, our love it grew.
The world around us faded, distant, dim,
As if the universe had held its breath,
Each stolen glance, a treasure to us prim,
In that suspended time, no fear of death.
Though years have passed, those moments yet endure,
Love's timeless sanctuary, sweet and pure.
a river of gold
in the gloaming skies of blue ~
sunset magic charm
in the twilight zone
nightingale melodies please ~
moon comes out to hear
stardust sprinkled coat
worn by dusky night maiden ~
jealous luna stares
in gloomy stillness
even shadows go to sleep ~
lonely wolf cries out
beauty of night sky ~
enraptured soul sigh!

Enraptured by blue Sea, Sun chose a place
above Sea, on a cliff. To touch her face,
Sun then sank low; final radiance fell,
a lover's fingers on her mighty swell,
with passion's touch her cobalt blue to trace.
A last caress. . . and then with quickened pace
arrived dark night with sable and black lace
to softly drape the one he loves so well. . .
enraptured by the sea.
A man went to that cliff and pled for grace,
for he had come with heart ache to erase.
The sea, grown icy cold, still cast her spell.
He knew that only she all pain could quell.
Like Sun did too, he fell to her embrace
enraptured by the sea

Enchanting melodies call me to the lush green forest, with the
calls of soprano birds singing to my spirit, heart and soul blissfully;
their sweet rhapsodies enthrall me to dwell within this intoxicating forest.
Trance like and enraptured I fall into the emerald and the lovely wildflowers,
and the forest has a magical spell on my beauty. I dwell in this green dream;
still. Come find with me in the lush, do not be afraid, just step into my rapture,
and find euphoria and peace- now take my hand and you will be transported . . .

Enraptured
by ~H~
Enraptured I stand, unable to say
What comes to mouth and mind
My eyes trace the contours of your lips
Imagining what lay there to find
My hand caresses the lines of your back
While your scent overwhelms my senses
In this moment where, we nothing lack
A meeting free of pretences
Through your hair, my fingers tangle
While your lips, my neck embrace
A silent sigh of pleasure escapes
As my cheek brushes 'gainst your face
Down on silken sheets, we lay
Your breath a fire on my skin
Fingers entwined, arms tensing
As closer, I pull you in
Hard and in time, our breathing sings
Our bodies move as one
A union, intense and undecieving
In the flash of a newborn sun
-The end-
I’m enraptured, hooked
His smile as wide as an ocean-
Engrossed in wetness.
two hearts enraptured in love exchange vows
star eyes can’t see pass the day
hope indwells lovers’ hearts
ceremonious feast and dance ensues
two souls united in flesh
wedding celebration
~*~
For Dr. Ram's "Wedding is One Special Event in Marriage"
On the calm horizon where the sea glitters, I'm enraptured by peace
