In the crepuscular half-light 
Our amaranthine trysting dreams 
Are transformed to apodictic
Iridescent lyrical love 
Tokens of rhapsodic tranquil...

Exuberant waves

race toward the beach in bliss

with rhapsodic sounds-

burst with joy as they embrace

its warm curves with eager writhes.

The wavering cloud clumps weave 
the lattice of dismal dusk on tree tops, 
the wilted willow weeps.

As the miasma of night 
melts in the music of rain,
rhapsodic dawn waits to dance. ...

Plethora we were, idyllic and rhapsodic
Dulcet, was felicity always our path
Destined to be in cryogenic chrysalis
Universal talisman below sapphire skies
Once radiant, soon evanescent

Looking back it's no wonder why we had to leave
Such rhapsodic idyllic plethora, lost talisman
Felicity lost in radiant sapphire dulcet through
Our chrysalis once radiant, evenescent, blew

Through felicity gowned greens and idyllic hues
Such plethora rhapsodic throwing dulcet trues
Chrysalis skies in simple radiant
Sapphire clouds never evanescent
Talisman, we're here or are we sent!

A rhapsodic delight in a carmine feathered coat,
a cardinal sits amid the verdigris limbs;
with breast puffed out
he croons lovely tones as
vibrations of harmony 
to my ears;
Ah, nature is bliss!

vibrant primroses
in countless arresting shades
bring back the glad smiles

sunshine symphonies
in fields, beds and flowerpots
rhapsodic summer

fragrance from a dream
dreamt in the heart of winter
under the pearl moon

teeming colors mass
for a doomed beauty contest
baffling all judges...

As the tall trees dangle 
With the gentle breeze that blow 
As the rainy drops drizzle 
Melodious and slow 

While listening to that song 
Rhapsodic and sweet 
As I ramble all along 
Feeling the mellow and the beat 

As the drizzle becomes a downpour 
Pelting yet quiet 
And the droplets touch the floor
On this pouring dark night...

It starts out as a lullaby.
Incandescent,
Halcyon,
Full of felicity.
Tranquil and lithe
As it cascades through
Meadows of enchanting
Sweetness.

But, all too often
In this rhapsodic and crepuscular
World,
Serenity is damaged.
Little by little,
The songbirds of life
Become discouraged,
And lose themselves in their chrysalises of pain....

CHECKING OUT: ONE’S OWN SOUL

Rhapsodic impulses of skin suffused
Exulted passions rendering: disused 

Intensely emotional: of flushed amor 
A mere filament lisp, of a lustful gore

Susurration: within my own sad soul
Mellifluous lullabies: until I rest whole

"I just knew there was brain cell in there somewhere" . . . ; )

To be sand my life got a chance,
chased mirage to the oasis,
serendipity cast a trance.
To be sand my life got a chance,
took a rhapsodic stance to dance
in retreat till time was stasis.
To be sand my life got a chance,
chased mirage to the oasis.

This is all I have
Shredded heart 
Rhapsodic essence 
Grimace on the face 
Cacophony in the ears 
This is all I have 
Lost talisman 
Waiting for a serendipitous 
Ineffable rumination 
With an ephemeral existence 
This is all I have 
Mellifluous sound 
Turned to screeching noise 
Crystalline entity 
Pirouetted to a crepuscular subsistence 
This is all I have...

White evanescent waves roll on the shore
     with such felicity of frothy bliss.
Rhapsodic sounds explode as they explore-
     present the waiting beach their foamy kiss.

Listen to poem:

Feet, do your stuff just one more time
Fandango round the Palais
Direct these poor arthritic bones
To dance that grand finale

My hair is lost, my teeth gone brown
I'm slowly going doolally
But c'mon hooves, you'll manage just one
final whirl with Sally

So steer these limbs around the floor
One last skeletal rally
A late rhapsodic flush to end
That tragic, final ballet...

On the loneliness brim, crave for embrace.
On the brink of an eternal bridge, shown.
A rhapsodic zeal throb sparks quiet space.
On the loneliness brim, crave for embrace.
Hearts are beating at a serpentine pace.
I and you will always be lovers known.
On the loneliness brim, crave for embrace.
On the brink of an eternal bridge, shown.

I WAS CHALLENGED BY A SILENT ONE

When stirred radiant sapphire talisman spurts,

idyllic rhapsodic dulcet beats, hums

the pragmatic leaves lifeless fall

causing a plethora of chrysalis show

where a hub-hub evanescent felicity enthralls..

To pose, silently, I stand motionless
if not for death to pass from my sight
surely, your touch behold enchantment.....

Without complication, Hark, my ruby jewel 
are not my words, eloquent, graced only by a fading shadow

Your presence, drifting, spiraling afar
with colors swaying in luminescent refuge         

Must I shout in loving song, will my need awake a wanting desire in thee....

FUSION

Breathtaking brook braving brazen bruises became broken
Entered estuary emanating exuberance
Reopened rosary resonated rhapsodic raga
Together these tides tried to tackle tortuous terrains
Flowed far fathoms freely fertilizing fallow frontiers!

Beautifully they drape these plethora of chrysalis 
Their felicity, leaves me rhapsodic
I, internally radiant, so idyllic is their release
My eyes in dulcet view, witnessing sapphire blues
To many a talisman, evanescent, I pray not

Rebellions Rhapsody


She had earned the sapphire talisman
freed herself from need’s plethoric drive
ceased longing for the dulcet drone
of felicity’s failing evanescence.
The chrysalis of crumbling youth -
idyllic illusion – awakening
her radiant, rhapsodic rebellion.

The day is brilliant with sunlight,
songbirds serenade the season,
maples sway to music of the spheres
melodies only they can hear.
Cabbage whites flutter and flit
above and about, everywhere;
A Lion’s tooth unaware it’s
a weed shares a bed with tulips.
Within this harmony of spheres
I too feel its rhapsodic pulse-
A lover of nature’s impulse
to capture this temporal scene
as I do now by fits and starts
with measured words and golden mean....
