Cherry-ripe hid famed lyric
a poem so euphonic...

Twinge though sans words

Mirrored through her face

Indeed, she has a broken ring



White truth reveals itself

Euphonic blissful pledges

Resembling day but an evening



Now, her derelict heart reciting dirge

Reflecting dark tune

Her eyes can only sing...

My ears flirt with the echo
Of a passing voice
Days ago, I lusted for more of it
Squinting at every passing voice.
Yesterday unend I stood at my window,
Expectant, Compulsive!

Today,
Like a helmit nostalgic for home
I waited for the passing lark.
Wow! Here you stand
My nightingale!

With your euphonic tune
Like music from heaven
Sing my name, call me Romeo
Paris or Samson,

For, in that tune
Shall I pronounce my vow:
The oath of my life!...

Mellifluous in name alone
For no euphonic mellow tone
Resides in Shantelle's heart of stone.

A fool, I thought we felt the same
But all too soon she quenched the flame
For love was but a callous game.

A stepping stone in life was I
She crushed my heart then passed on by;
Her name will haunt me till I die.

Shantelle.

The rain fell steady on the roof
While I lay awake next to her.
Her slumbered sounds while fast asleep
Had scored a midnight symphony:
Each drop of rain from heaven fell
Made sounds like strings on violins
Each tightly strung and singly tuned
Awaiting for the slightest cue.
A flash, then thunder from the clouds
Commenced the orchestrally sounds
Of euphonic respiration's
And the strings of condensation
Played for an audience of one:
Dreamy arrangements envisioned....
