The sun feels your warm, rapt gaze-
Ever following!...

stand before October wind,
wait for vermillion
leaves to fall once again as
we jump in with joyful glee!...

The  guitar strummed
The trombone oom pah pah'd
The audience clapped 
Because they were rapt
And some called out Hurrah...

Wrong
Was I
To push love
So un-returned
At first though the love from you came later
I lost mine, rapt in imagination
So time forgot
Our passion
Mislaid
Sin...

  likes to decree
that red is green 
  and vice versa

The audience rapt
  sucked into his trap
They wildly applaud
  a beady-eyed fraud...

I saw the sky last night,
Rapt blue-black,
Freckled candle-light.
Where upon a cast, I ate.
To this lip, our tête-à-tête,
Never uttered,
Never muttered,
Until here....

visionary girl
notes the
space
rapt ...
This 
sidereal girl
reaps visions
astral
enraptured ...
This girl
that I love
truly is
phenomenal:
has stars
in the look ...!...

                                      the sweet scented spring
                                   drinking the sun's ruby rays -

Kiss me but once, Sweet,
And I'll be rapt away;
Or kiss me a second time,
Oh! away all day!

Kiss me but thrice, Sweet,
And I am gone for good;
Or kiss me forever,
Oh, Love, yes you should!...

We used to travel to the beach,
Fish and chip shops in our reach,
Fish so fresh and flaking,
Fanta orange our thirst slaking,
In newspaper, chips were wrapped,
Bayside trips, us kids were rapt!...

dance
and song
all day long
still for moments
then roaming blooms and fuchsia midnight rooms
restless rapt wind rousing all to tango
in orange mists
of dawn or
scarlet
dusk...

Bright
leafs swirl 
rapt torrents
o'er harvest moon 
gemstone portent of
motley hued topaz glaze
nacreous in sullen haze
as grey dawn wail from tawny tree
house crib heralds wildlife orchard surge...

Didn't heed the storm. Checked rune sac.
Rune plight will have rapt ending.
Deep-seated cleaning time !
Cleanse imperfections.

Such a dull life, as permits
One for to dream through!
In budding to be admired
Warmly kissed, desired

Magnolia reflects, wintered
For shut-in worldview
Stilly rapt, what for beauty's
Growing sense does please....

Your opinion 

What of that man that hath no music within himself
Nor is not rapt with love of the sweet sounds

Some not moved by sweet soothing a melody or rhythm 
Is there a real man or woman who has no music in them...

When dating
pay rapt attention
to your intuition

I did:

For self-preservation
in relation
to emotional creation

When he made it clear
that his ex is his BFF
I exited the scene
to be released
from negative energy...

for what is it
she prays
motionless Madonna
rapt in stillness
awaiting the unexpected
mate or meal
slender neck
cleavaged eyes
pious predator
poised on spindle legs

Distort of sounds strum his bow —sawed heart rhythms,
mischievous fool impels my mind's rapt boredom.
The devil's finger warns and pivots, sedates,
adrift among alleged stolen dreamscapes.
The jester sleeps all day, perplexed I awake....

What things are most important to me?
Things that I must give rapt attention to
We must all consider this individually,
Deciding for ourselves what is right and true
And prioritize our days accordingly.
