RHAPSODY IN RHYME

Through the hazy mist I glimpse your face

The outline of which I clearly trace

Within my mind forevermore

To remain ageless as all time



The billowing fog cannot obscure

Such a vision,so pristine and pure

For what seems eternity,I bask within

Your beauty in its prime



Slowly,I move toward your image

Which shimmers as silver upon a moonbeam

I allow a moment to drink in the essence

Of your rhapsody in rhyme



Then the fire within begins to flicker

The smoke unto the air grows thicker

Still,I'm able to capture your likeness

But I'm voiceless as the mime



I cannot express innermost desires

As all that is me yields to the fires

Which are brisk and leave nary a speck

Only echoes of a chime
