Classical Tones



A daffodil's personality deliciously dances in her hair's fragrance,
solitary yellow streaks of sunshine catch delightful dark strands,
handfuls of petals spring their bloom with light beauty,
tubular notes ring true as wild love travels across unknown lands
and imagination's simplicity wanders along hues of cool reverence,
there is a fine musical sigh that flutters free.

She's poetry's motion,
a galloped heartbeat which shimmers
with artistic splendour; existence is spiritual.

Decimals roar syllable's fancy inside her character's passionate substance
as Heaven's wondrous arrangements collect reflection's golden bands,
sands of space slip songs of bright desire smoothly,
soft classical tones bellow tempo's ghosts which narcissi demands,
brands of sophisticated quality cycle through operas of temperance,
sonatas glide above clouded jewellery.

Boldly her vast ocean
voice accompanies angels' burrs,
delicate harps and cellos create language; so fruitful.

Minstrels juggle a rainbow's striped affability under her sparkling eyes,
wise flowered compositions of pure pleasantry comb her body's whispered surprise.
