FOREVER ADELINE
Acknowledgement:
A big thank you Sam Scott from our Poetry Soup Community,
for your splendid narrative contribution.
Synopsis:
A story of unrequited love that began in childhood.
Despite the passage of time, his love remained hauntingly
painful even after she fell in love with another.
Aloft on wings of rhapsody, together spirits soar
Wild, untamed and sensuous, just like a lion's roar.
HOW LONG AGO IT SEEMS THE TWO OF YOU FIRST MET
AS TIME IS RENDERED MEANINGLESS
OR TIMELESS, BETTER YET
Though in that Timeless moment, along came winds of change
Love swiftly rearranged, but what it WAS, remained
Oh, Adeline, so fair and bright,
Eyes, like stars, shine with delight,
Oh fickle heart, now you await
your new love's sweet embrace
Blinded by the callous cad, you foolishly don't resist
In the quench of love's allure, Time does not exist
His loving lips will not reveal your new love's promiscuous charms
Intoxicated, unrepentantly, he sways to others' wanton arms.
Across the bronze Sienna shores and blissful sea breeze skies,
He ever trails your hungry heart through
his own saddened eyes.
Oh, Adeline in Twilight's Hush,
where shadows dance and play,
A tale of love and longing
When Night succumbs to Day
Oh, Adeline, will it be
mere friendship, he would fain?
To be just a deliverer of love notes,
a job he will disdain
Oh, Adeline ~ Sweet Adeline
At every glance - a secret shared,
his every word - love unsaid,
In every touch - a fire dared
HOW LONG AGO IT SEEMS ~ THE TWO OF YOU FIRST MET
AS TIME IS RENDERED MEANINGLESS
OR TIMELESS, BETTER YET
Chansons ne sont que chansons
Quand on écrit de l'amour
Comment d'écrire des chansons
De la femme qui est l'amour?
English translation from above:
Songs are just songs
When we write about love
How do you write songs
Of the woman who is Love?
OH, ADELINE ~ SWEET ADELINE

reminiscences of a garden tranquil
blissful harmony lingers in my heart
magnificent charms I ever imagined
elegance of gorgeous flowers radiant
Dahlias, Jinias, Chrysanthemums
converse gently from never-forgotten past,
glorious haven, a precious sanctuary,
exquisite with blooming dainty flowers.
an oasis with a delightful swing
gently cradled among velvety green grass
gorgeous, lush and satiny, softest to tread,
pleasing tender moments waited for us.
fascinating colours from breathtaking landscape,
divine rhapsody serenading from cooing birds
cuckoos and bulbuls, intoxicated with longing,
from mango trees and lemon, gently whisper.
starry skies at serene alluring nights,
admiring warmth of tantalizing days,
garden inspiring poetic creativity
spreading magical love, captivating to gaze.

Watch as Facebook hooks with a clear-cut look,
So much of hearsay on the lonely way;
So much noise to book mere pawns and a nook,
Share videos that stray once upon a day.
Contact and be friends with such crappy trends,
Wise men speak most clear when fools ***** and moan;
Likes and comments tend to be awkward odd blends,
True grace knows no fear but hollow souls groan.
Gripe of any kind can poke blunt and blind,
Anchor in fond share picture motif fare;
Glimpse sure peace of mind as you sift through finds,
Blunt bias now compares the strange flicks that grind.
By the Facebook way loiters your grim airs,
Too much and too late the easy page fill;
Cut-and-Paste to say vivid and vain flairs,
Open the floodgates where disdain frames spills.
Flip one-minute fame as sure as plain blame,
Much ado about nothing much to cheer;
Vain outlook lays blame upon faceless game,
Buzz of plenty shouts frenzy that flings near.

The migrant mind ingrains innate impulsive expression,
wherein my muse blossoms like the flower of passion.
The patina exudes the excitement I’ve so long preferred,
transforming it into transfixed tapestry of weaved words.
The pent-up mind spreads ingenious wings to soar high,
my muse follows the singing bird in the sapphire sky.
Floating fervent on the rhythmic ripples of rhapsody
with stream of words I cascade with moving melody.
The inspired mind creates contours of excited emotion,
as my muse sails in seamless sea of intrinsic imagination,
on the waves rolling with the rhyme of feeling quiescent,
where the cadence of the heart pulsates effervescent.
The instinctive mind drifts in river of life under rainbow,
my muse glides on senses reflecting kaleidoscopic show,
enacted enthused with the vivacious verve of yearning,
the craving creates the enthralling lyric of love alluring.
OF FATHOMLESS MERCY
A surpassing story of old.
More than His saintly mother’s loss.
Weightier than riches of gold.
Lamb’s rhapsody bleeds from the cross.
O depths of fathomless mercy!
Bloodletting removal of dross.
The case for Christ controversy.
Lamb’s rhapsody bleeds from the cross.
A quietus sounded after
the moaning of nails, at a loss
to explain cruel crowd’s laughter.
Lamb’s rhapsody bleeds from the cross.
O eternity pleading life!
Droplets of love salting the moss.
Looking to cure ALL of men’s strife.
Lamb’s rhapsody bleeds from the cross.

First Night of Forever
Love is a serenade that never ends...
Once upon a romantic starry night
Two lover's hearts went soaring off in flight
The setting a lovely magical scene
Enchanting beauty befitting a queen.
Midnight sky strung with glittering jewels
Twinkled on the sea, dancing to each move
A summer breeze caressed their sun kissed skin
Never was a night as charming as this.
Fairies gathered to gaze from on a star
For romance delighted their tiny hearts
So enchanting was this magical sight
They sprinkled their fairy dust o'er the night.
Soft golden sand gently cushioned their feet
Walking along lovely crescent shaped beach
Only sound was opera of the sea
Soothing ebb and flow of waves melody.
He took her in his arms and held her tight
Whispered "darling you look lovely tonight"
"You've made all my wishes and dreams come true”
She sighed, he sighed and the fairies sighed too.
They frolicked merrily at edge of sea
For today they'd joined in matrimony.
...If music be love’s rhapsody, play on.

Sensational Olivia Brought a new violin
with the donations, she collected in Berlin;
ooh, so-la-ti-do; ooh, do-re-mi-fa!
Olivia has an amazing talent,
she dances in circles in the crowded square;
boys wink at her with intent!
Sensational Olivia plays her violin with artistry,
finesse, elegance, and beauty;
her songs never lack harmony!
Ooh, so-la-ti-do; ooh, do-re-mi-fa!
Sensational Olivia let me hear another song
on this cloudy and chilly day,
take me to a sunny shore...
where the breeze is gentle, never strong;
there I will dream alone:
watching lovers kiss and hideaway!
Ooh, so-la-ti-do; ooh, do-re-mi-fa!
Sensational Olivia bought an old violin
with the donations, she collected in Berlin;
ooh, so-la-ti-do, ooh, do-re-mi-fa!
Sensational Olivia doesn't want fame, only recognition;
the excited crowd cheers on her stunning improvisation!
Ooh, so-la-ti-do; ooh, do-re-mi-fa!
Sensational Olivia performs for a living and gave up her pride;
a quarter, a dime, and a dollar can make her widely smile!
Ooh, so-la-ti-do; ooh, do-re-mi-fa!
sensational Olivia is very young and pretty,
people gather and applaud with a joyful feeling;
Sensational Olivia can play in a symphony,
I'll be standing there listening to her rhapsody!
Ooh, so-la-ti-do; ooh, do-re-mi-fa!
While the city rests under the velvet of skyline ,
I lie awake to trace a highway of clouds
trailing against a lunar pageant,
as evening shadows alter different time zones
throughout the universe's frame--
while ambrosial rawness enters my pores
from the fondle of this waxing red-ball.
Oh Clair de Lune...there is something mysterious
about your portrait of near midnight: amiable...
dangerous, and carnal ; just ripe for my heart
to listen as nocturnal larks trill a serenade--
each note ready to multiply into hundreds
of minutes; that such orb's mystery remains
unanswered by all creatures anticipating
a new moon's rhapsody gradually simmering
like your allured chant which flames
upon lovers' clandestine rendezvous.
For Craig Cornish: Claire De Lune
Revised, new poem 8/7/2018
You would have loved the song
the easy flow and rhythm of the melody
soft music that rose to ride on the breeze
as the snow fell soft then quick to the ground.
It was a nature concerto
an instrumental fusion of words waiting to be released
angelic voices humming gentle and sweet
then speaking from the heart to the soul.
It was a secret undersong cantata in solo unison
with the viola and violin playing on the old victrola,
the setup symphony unheard
by only me in the hallowed corridors.
The echoing in a chapel of kept dreams
where you and I prayed and pledged our love
for the heavens alone to hear and bless
in a poetic score of life's lullaby and time's rhapsody.
Andrea & Matteo Bocelli sing Fall on Me

THE EURIDITE MONK
(Apropos Thelonious)
The misunderstood rhapsody
of the ebony-ivory union
reflects a oneness of time
and space fathomed
but to the freed ears
picking up the syncopation
of mind body and soul
of the sellers and the sold;
While gyrating auction block
crescendos split crazy melodies
shoveling shattered shackles sliding
sliding between the mosaic beauty
of the whining keys echoing echoes of echoes.
Let your ears blink
and it all slips sleekly by
and the uninformed cannot comprehend
the beat of rhythmic thoughts meandering
a melodious mind leaving mental footprints
tap dancing on seasoned tympanums
vibrating blue notes between bebop bars:
harmonious inertia movements
challenging a decrescendo fading
of the monk’s mosaic mastery.
