She trills like the tree skylark
Inducing hypnogogic rhythm
crooning like the mocking birds
a teetertotter of country singsongs
that mocks the parrots ding dongs
the soul is quavering the spirit congeals
a ferry into fairy tale
a humdrum smirks melodious drums
her voice somniferous into long dreams
yielding to her sweet sonorous yodeling


She serenades like Tarzan
in a winter summer solstice.
soft poignant soprano on a pretty prairie
a concerto in my very soul
navigating ballads from west to south
like a harmonious wind vane
doing the songstress's bidding
she drones drowsy carols
like a constant row
on a boat to the beautiful sea


The songstress's lullaby
an enigmatic pitch contours
a milk shake of mellifluous warbles
stirred into the soul by tender pitches
reassuring tones like the crickets
chirping a verse that pacify;
in a quaintest manner,
that mollify and lenify


The songstress's lullaby
stagnant as a goose on water lily
still, still as refrain on a lyre
like Rock-a-bye, her cantata stupefies
leaving the ears feasted in psalms
singing along till the heart falls into a siesta
a fiesta of gurgling sounds and snooze
with the gentlest of cuddles
that rafts into a daydream.

Poems are born from natural languages, fed through the umbilical cord of sounds and meanings. Even if they disconnect and demonstrate their maturity, they will only find understanding or misunderstanding in their natural language.

Let the poetic wings lift your wonderful aura into the most beautiful secrets of poetry.
