She declined to eat a pop tart
Because all that fruit makes her fart
Yet tends to favour
Raspberry flavour
For rhapsodies straight from the heart...

Some simple and some grand, to understand: a sweet view to promised land

alabaster Rhapsodies

alabaster moon
 skips across midnight waters
  trails silver ribbons
singing wind song harmonies
 with two loons in rhapsodies

I see the Moon and Stars smiling at you;
and the gray skies turn bright and blue.
The flowers of fun preen in fresh fragrance,
fishes in the stream of love dance...
To the rhapsodies of our twilight romance....

She was

 Reconciled to Rhapsodies

transfigured and transformed

recognizing some of these

as wildest wizards warned,

exquisitely transplanted,

a token from the North,

validity.....lucidity,

she let her Muse 

hold  forth....

July Fog

Fog
Slinks in,
Cloaks dawn’s smile
In July gloom
With platinum gauze ~
A foggy summer breath
Glistens on rows of sweet corn,
Kisses the vegetable garden,
As crickets chirp and bumblebees hum
In misty tunes of foghorn rhapsodies....

serenade of depths,
pensive rhapsodies ascend~
seabed's dirges mourn.

echoes of the depths,
sullen seabed mourns the drowned~
dirges for lost souls.

pensive rhapsodies,
seabed's dirges for the drowned~
melancholy depths...

Excellent expressions engraved like an entity

The Piano,
breath taker, truth shaker, peacemaker.
Notes tickled by yearning fingers, declaring,
all sides of life, flat and sharp, daring,
with black and white keys pairing,
bringing together whatever is tearing,
harmoniously uniting, alluring and sharing,
all the rhapsodies joyful and despairing
in one whole universal bearing....

Across great plains, in rich soil valleys
beneath breathtaking, bold painted skies
amber cobras dance on graceful stems
swaying to refrains of flowing rhapsodies

Mariah plays for them on a whimsical flute
whistling notes float along on wind songs

hypnotized by her gentle rhythmic breezes
they bend and dip in choreographed allegro...

reflections of a halo shining in your eyes 
constant breeze of angels wings upon me
divine heart with bonds that tie
pure rhapsodies surround thee
patent of my heavens host
keeper of the glory
she who gives the very most
layeth there before me
as my soul does welcome her
and all that she can be
passions rise into a stir
as she belongs to me...

Nestled in greenery, the song carries far,
A lonely figure against royal blue skies,
Calling for love to come be where you are,
Or just celebrating another orange sunrise!

With a huge repertoire of lovely melodies,
Sending many tales amidst the sunshiny air,
Often night bears your moonlit rhapsodies,
And your joyful tales are famed everywhere!...

Good night, my little love
Starlight shines high above

Moonbeams have come to play 
Sweet dreams are on their way

Soft melodies I'll coo
In rhapsodies for you

Now close your sleepy eyes
and doze midst lullabies

Musicians make melodious music mildly
Lavishing lovely, lively lyric… laudably
Singing sound, sensational songs sweetly
Rocking real, romantic rhapsodies… rightly

Poets pen powerful poems passionately
Writing real, righteous, romantic rhymes rightly
Wielding wealthy, wild, wise words wholesomely
Creating colorful cards… creativity cruising carefully...

A golden white sunset

Serenades the canyons

With tasteful symphonies


Crescendos of passion cry

Elevated euphoria

Oblivious be despair



Sharp, yearning hunger

Bellows creamy reveries

Roaring taunting thrills


This tigress teases in spirals

Trickles of sweat lavish us

Rhapsodies deplete us


Eyes glisten odes of desire

Her aroma illuminates the bed

Neon vortex...

 She sits at the piano and caresses the keys
 Playing those songs of old
 With melodies that please,
 Churning out rhapsodies in gold

 Each melody brings back a memory
 of people she loved,
 who taught her to play
 and gave her the skills thereof

 She floats through each melody
 with fingertip ease,
 Like a butterfly fluttering
 on a lilac breeze

Two spiders dance cross ivory keys
The sounds they make reprise songs of trees
Phantom fingers flick like legs from hands
Over blacks and whites on baby grands
Every touch, every note played with care
Silken chords 'n tones flow through the air
This music written by nature's mind
From its tips to human hearts it finds
Flying digits riff rare rhapsodies
Prancing predators play melodies...

S taring at the mountains, I raise my eyes
U p to where the stars are glittering
M esmerizingly in summer’s skies.
M idnight’s beauty to my soul is singing.
E ternity is staring back at me,
R esiding in this radiance I see.

M yriads of nights like this have come and gone.
O ther nights will follow; the moon will bring
O palescent grace to heaven’s song.
N ever-ending rhapsodies shall nature sing....

Your voice
plays melodies
rhapsodies symphonies
in the farthest reaches
of my being.

In your sapphire
eyes I find sanctity
a safe harbor
the courage
to be the most
resplendent man.

Your thoughts
fascinate me
enthrall me
titillate me
a mind that’s made
for freeing.

Your love
waltzes so elegantly
pleasingly
teasingly
in a quiet room
I built just for you.

A century echoed incantations
Of a language in psalms and eulogies;
Each decade bearing plagues, wars disarranged
While men embraced time’s deep lamentations .
Although hearts roughened by dead rhapsodies,
The victories of warm brotherhood reigned
Cultivating world solace blessed by grace.

In a Farah-way Syrian sea
swims this sweet Arabian wonder,
in a golden garden grows this sweet pea
That shines, soars and sings…no blunder

In a Farah-way Syrian garden
croons this blue Arabian bird,
She’s got rhymes and rhapsodies-laden
poems that thrill the sun, stars and songbirds

From a Farah-way Syrian street
She writes, wooing wealthy words.
In the gentle arms of nature she sits,
writing with a pen that’s sealed with golden cords...
