~ She and The Harpist of Rome

 

 

She heard his light strings,

Whirl along the quay,

They sung, they touched her

Heart, through fine senses,

Among the green gardens

Of Rome, that day --

 

The sunshine, shone,

Rosy on her cheeks;

The smell of fresh jasmine,

And newly fallen rain,

Gave a combination,

Of gossamer odors, and to fain;

 

He did imagined her in as 

The pure perfume of Rome, 

And with the distant

Sound of horseshoes;

Tapping on the cobblestones,

To make his musical notes complete

 

It brought the rhythm of the day,

In a floral silk oasis -- touched,

With the essence of her being

And by his sublime creativity felt

In his head, like a never ending

Dream...

 

The mix of these fresh colors

That a mind can perceive, in the purest

Coherence, filled with ozone,

And the sun... she so close...

 

The elegance and music, made her

Together with the ambience to

Fulfill and embrace

And a heart to be full of love -

To be finally home.

My GOoDness Elisa...
where do I start...How about, I absolutely loved everything about this write...everything
I'm not usually a big fan of accompanying music, but in this case it worked purr....fectly...then the picture of Giuliano...and away we go....
But the write...sublime in every way, shape and form...beautiful, thoughtful, classical imagery brought this dream to life. The spontaneous and unforced change in style, erratic but purposeful rhyming (especially the near rhymes), and your grasp and usage of archaic words (fain, quay),
a touch of metaphorical brilliance and voila...a masterpiece. This is as close as you get.
Awesome write Elisa...Great poem...wonderful message of love.
BTW...I always sleep with a pencil and pad and tape recorder near my bed for just those situations...
Ain't no way I'd remember diddly the next morning..or even 30 seconds after awakening..... some of our best visions are just before dawn.

Oh Allen, thank you kindly for this great review, you noticed so much, and the words coming from you make me smile... Oh you do that too? That's so great, I write everywhere I can with my old fashioned hand notebook, even at the middle of the night, I have a dream diary too... I'm very pleased you did enjoy this piece of me, can't thank you enough... Elisa

The melodious strains of a harp and the joyous wonder of nature make for a classic poem of romance here, Elisa. I enjoyed the rhyme scattered throughout the poem. A wonderful presentation too! Lydi**

Ambiance of it all... speaks within the line of this one... I like the end line... the most... gives this verse the added touch... wraps the whole meaning into one collective thought...

Thank you so much for giving me another read my friend...

[Glen Yumang Manese]

My friend Diane is in Italy right now... I can't wait the day when I can go back and see Italia or the rest of Europe for that matter... Open my eyes to a whole new out look... not just in my writings... but in life... just so much cultures and people of interest... everywhere you turn...

That's so great, it is long ago for me, I was in Rome, I lived at Naples and Milan, Rome is the heart though... I thank you so much my friend for sharing your story here, and where did your friend go in Italy? She will come back all rejuvenated believe me :)

[Glen Yumang Manese]

She's all over the place... last she told me... Venice... the place for lovers... and her trip just keeps going from there...

Venice is just beautiful, have a trilogy in poetic form of Venice further in my library... So inspirational that city is..... So true what you say. I hope she has the best time of her life...

[Ken Simm.]

Simply I think this must be one of the best romantic poems I have found on this site. It flows with southern sunshine and the city by the Tiber romance.

Thank you so much my dear friend, what a good review, you bring smiles upon my face!! Thank you Ken...

[Rafia ~ Yellow Girl]

I felt like fragmented with the most enchanting flowers while reading this piece, Such a Lovely writing!

Thank you dear Rafia...

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

A heart that is full of love is definitely a heart that has found its way home...a beautiful story woven into this piece, my friend. Your words sing as harp strings themselves vibrate at the frequency of love and light. Delicate, sonorous, sublime...and tonight I shall dream of love and light after reading these enchanting words.

Thank you so much for your beautiful word and thoughts on this one my sweet friend, I'm so happy you felt the write, and that you always understand this brain and heart of me... I hope to review you more soon... X

I meant *words... auto correct (I'm on my mobile)... See you soon! :)

[Frieda P]

Enthralling read my friend, I'm always enchanted by your lovely words and imagery. You had to know I'd love this one....is that a view from the cupola by the way?

It brought the rhythm of the day,
In a floral silk oasis -- touched,
With the essence of her being
And by his sublime creativity felt
In his head, like a never ending
Movie.

Your words are sublime...I long to live within your poetry. Outstanding Elisa. x

Thank you dear Frie for your beautiful words, I think it's indeed from the cupola, I have to research that, for I found this beautiful picture along my way... I'm so glad my dear, you enjoyed this one, hugs and till tomorrow xxx

[David Scott]

I like how this poem ended.
You always have a way of creating visual representations of music. You love for music shines out in many of your poems.
Still, for me, there really is no other feeling than the feeling of being at "home".
Once we have found our home in the love of another, we will forever long to be there once more.
I have one tear... I will not risk more...
Your poetry here is enchantingly inspirational Elisa!

Thank you so very much for your time, and give me a read... means much to me. I deamt yesterday night after a long long road trip... ;-) maybe I would drive to Rome, but didn't reached it yet... thank you David.
