Rhapsody In Blue I can still recall the song My heart sang, there, for you On that misty summers eve When we were one, not two The rhythm was enchanting The notes they mesmerized Captivated in its spell I hardly realized We swayed, there, in its melody Captured in a trance Silken skin, bared to your touch As we began to dance Heated breaths stirred on my ear No need for words was found Inhibitions all were lost As clothes fell to the ground I shivered in the evening air My body burned with fire Parched and feverish in your wake You quenched me with desire You stole the words right from my lips Consumed them with your heat And all the while, my restless heart Kept up its passioned beat Stolen moments, realized dreams Throughout the whole night long In rhythm undeniable We danced in this, love’s song Then in the early morning hours As darkness broke to day And sunlight filtered through the mist You softly slipped away Was it just a dream I had This night I shared with you That left my heart forever singing A rhapsody in blue < !signature--> Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 02-06-2000).] |

Oh my gosh ... what a beautiful poem I think I'll take up dancing as a cure for melancholy!  Rex}<{{{{o> |

If I would have danced with you the night that you described away You would have lost a shoe or two Would have loved to dance what can I say Perhaps when the moon is up tonight And you send to me the invite I will sway with you the night away Enchanting piece Hugs and Love always The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Wow, Hoot owl: I have always admired your talent. This is by far your best poem yet. Very dreamy, passionate, and well written. You painted such a magical picture of love, and in the end such a bittersweet moment in time. Applause!! I always love your work. Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

Sighing heavily here Ms. Ruth. Somewhere between then and now, you've become an incredible poet. I am proud to say that I have watched as your talent has increased in leaps and bounds!!! Bootiful! |

Singing in delight, Lost in all this space. Heaven filled tonight, Brought to me in grace. Knowing you are dancing, Sharing in my thoughts. Breathless moments prancing, Stomach tied in knots. Wanting to close the distance, Looking for a way. Pushing past the resistance, Closer now each day. Shoutings in my heart's long halls, Calling just for you. Masquerading in life's balls This... "Rhapsody in blue" I used to be schizophrenic, but we're ok now so don't make me mad cause I'm running out of places to hide the bodies......LOL |

It was not a dream, I was truly there with you a fantasy though it may seem your Rhapsody was us come true. So good that one read is not enough, over and over makes it even better. DH |
