tremulous sighs ...(short & sensual)



thundering heartbeat's

thrummed palpitations

eurhythmic cadence's sway

a dulcet storm is swelling

poetry's rhythmic flow

love's tremulous sighs

... unleashed ...

intimacy crescendos

♪♫♪ ♫ ♪♪

.... into unbridled rapture ....


rivers' natural flow

A Musical Surrender





A Musical Surrender


Music sweet as love overflows
from my love-laden secret hours .
Music sooth her heart of soul
Impassioned resonance 
whispers from my heart,
beside the gentle, 
graceful stream's ripple.


Does the melody arouse 
some muted desire?
Flowing peacefully 
with the river’s song?


Avow the dazzling starlit sky
Enrapture the sweetest song
escaping into nature’s ear.
Above the moon rains
her enchanting beams down
Like flowing notes 
of effervescent radiance;


Harmonious, 
delightful sounds ,
As sad and deep as
Lamented love's buried treasures .


Surrender to love’s song
as the tides of love flood
The barren tide pools 
of lonely hearts ;
Whatever past tides 
ebbed away
from the love of life ?



Concede the flooding currents
    fill the heart so full of love ...
the most melodious 
of all the harmonies ;
that one last drop,
one last tear 
of joyful surrender , 

a waterfall

Let love’s blossoms swell
Into rain awakened flowers .
The genesis of splendor awaits,



The love song’s 
intimate accompaniment ,
Yielding an inspiring 
dream’s transcendence .
Enabling the sound of music
touch our moonlit slumber
as we embrace 
in the gentle stillness

Of our merciful surrender…
