In rhapsody


                       

                         The music sheet trills & exalts 

                  Notes so blue, a lingering sky 

           A wind breath, light as a caress

      Drips on dappled page, murmuring profusely 

           Verses, in ballet pirouette, flower slowly, then     

                    Allegro beat, sweeping both of us to peaks &   

                           Unimaginable spring, floating on edges, tumble&fall

                                                     We don't speak as stars slide unbalanced  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                               into the night, gravity finds us trembling-   
                                       
                                                                                       The m a g i c  is  s t i l l  here-  
                        


                   84 piano keys galloped in the wind-


while 4 violin strings quivered the garden in throes-

        music unlocked his tongue-tied words into red wine-

                   she drank them,  one s u g a r  crystal at a time-

  7. This is gorgeous, Grace. I love that you went with the musical theme and, of course, the waves of music are so well represented by the way the words flow across the screen, not to mention the sound qualities infused within the lines. Your mood is exalted and the description of the effects of music on the soul elates the reader in thought and emotion.

  11. I especially love the ending here, Heaven--each note is indeed sweet and crystal clear.

  12. Very nice... wine unties our tongues, the inspiration... then as if to commune we drink them, medicine or sugar cane. In that awesome revelation of the end times, map of our epic dreming mind, fantasy or rhapsody I wonder what it meant where it says: "Harm not the wine..."

  13. But where would we be without the key? Or the key without Grace notes?

  14. Floating on edges - excellent picture and just makes it all feel alive. Exceelent

  15. Music can sometimes say things that nothing or anybody else can say. Notes can be so simple but so complex, I guess that's the same for music and life though.

  16. Incredibly beautiful.......especially the galloping piano keys and violin notes and "she drank them, one sugar crystal at a time".

  17. Grace - music that matches the beat of two hearts.
    A scintillating piece

  20. music unlocked his tongue-tied words into red wine-
    she drank them,one s u g a r crystal at a time-

    Music can certainly be a savior in terms of endearment. Nicely Grace!

  22. musical notes flowering slowly ... that is beautiful! I think this would be a great exercise for the Toads! I might do my Artistic Interpretation by having a painting and then a link to a certain musical piece (maybe something opposite of what one would think ) and make them combine the two.... ? I will let them know you inspired my thinking process :)

  23. I love your mixture of music, love and sensuality. So sexy and romantic.

  24. Verses, in ballet pirouette, flower slowly, then

    Allegro beat, sweeping both of us to peaks &

    Unimaginable spring, floating on edges, tumble&fall

  27. WHew. I was already high enough by the end of the first section, and then you gave us more--and now I think she is the piano player and the lover is a great appreciator of music, well ok, he can bow too! Notes linger, and the music transports on every level. And then this poem. Lovely.

  29. Beautiful, evocative imagery, as always. :)

  30. That sound...was me swallowing hard....damn this was lyrically perfect, hopeful and way sexy. You have a great way of setting mood with your writing, a turn down the lights, have a glass of wine and whisper naughty things in my ear kind of mood. Yeah....I'm a fan of that mood...lol!

    It is majestic.
