Fantaisie Rustique Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Fantaisie Rustique

Rating: 5.0


(dedicated to Mr. Ronald Brautigam, a great pianist)

river's notes move
from one pleasing line
to the next ecstasy space

a unique luxury touches
from soaring lonely hearts
to the sweep of gleaming nights

unexpected adventures
your slumber will be enhanced
by scented softness of wood's zephyr

a subtle fantasy of love and life
sung together with warm smile and care
to hug you with every drops of joy and happiness

(inspired by Paul Gauguin's Les Alyscamps)

Ahmad, I can hear the music in this, your words. Consequently, as always after reading one of your works, I shall spend more time every day listening more intently to each movement of nature and each musical composition. My best, Carol

The music overwhelms this piece. Dominating the words and the rhythm. A wonderful write that is not to be ignored. It blends well with the poets vision of the river. A wondrous water song. GW62
