Tribute to Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Many warm melodies we are blessed with
This composer Rachmaninoff has written
Prelude in C sharp minor, his concertos
It’s this Rhapsody that has me bitten

Like no other its notes float on light air
Tell of transports celestial kisses
Starlight dancing on moonbeams with flair
Candle gleams chilled wine ‘tis what bliss is

Float with me off to this ballroom
Wearing chiffon off the shoulder
As the notes play I’ll just see the love light
In your eyes growing bolder and bolder

The music swells into crescendos
Pressed close our dancing grows heated
Passionate kissing our tribute to music
Tonight is the night we’ll be mated
< !signature-->

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
~Janet Marie~

Sir Poet Bill* Now that's what I call
"Sweeping a woman off her feet"...wow!  
Quite a dance partner you are...You are
crowned the King of weave   Excellent

Wil,
Rachmaninoff will never be the same for me now that I've read this.
Be well

Bill--the music and the dance...two things that will live one...and a third, poetry.
