Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Musical Nonsense - Purging Thoughts

Musical nonsense – purging thoughts

Songs of the heart fill the notes on the sheet
Black upon white in the fanciest lace
Strings out of tune to the places they meet
Melodies wane in the moments we trace

Choruses christened in sweet water glow
Ring through the valleys while villagers sleep
Echoes of remnants the masses did know
Following tears in the music they weep

Bass beats now driving, the wind at the wheel
Harmonic detours turn lyrics around
Lost with a map folded twice to conceal
Any direction a bridge can be found

Violins float on a cloud made of rain
Drifting through caverns much deeper it seems
Piccolos run past the chord dangled pain
Wondering what has become of their dreams

Symphonic whispers of volumes too high
Scream in the night by the light of the moon 
Dancing with shadows that soon wander by
Curious why this is so out of tune

Still here I sit on a bench made of pine
Pencil in hand and a page it does greet
Playing these keys hoping but to remind
Songs of the heart fill the notes on the sheet     

 
 
Don't ask me.

Carol B. April 25, 2017 at 5:20 PM No nonsense here by any means. I quite enjoyed this piece. Chris Green April 25, 2017 at 5:27 PM Thanks so very much Carol. I am thrilled you liked this one. I appreciate your kindness.

Ilene Bauer April 25, 2017 at 3:38 PM chris - i love the way you've woven your musical theme so delicately into every verse in such a masterful way. i also like knowing that you write in pencil, as i do (if that part is accurate). i hope you were as pleased with the result of this poem as i was to read it... Chris Green April 25, 2017 at 5:26 PM Thanks so much Ilene and to answer you, I wasn't as pleased with this one as I had hoped. To me I got lost somewhere along the line and pretty much hard to force an ending out. But I am so happy you liked it and I always appreciate your visits and your comments on my work. Thank you again my friend. Oh...I do use pencil. :)

Darren White April 25, 2017 at 1:41 PM I like this, somewhere between poem, composition and choreography.... Ohhhhh, let me out of here for my fingers itch :) Great work, my friend. Chris Green April 25, 2017 at 1:50 PM Thanks so much Darren. Coming from such a talented writer and friend, this means a lot to me.
