Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Strings

Musical renditions
The voice in unison, together we chante
Strings play their story
In harmony fate sings along
The winds blow in from the sea
The sun runs away
We are the band of the night
With whiskey we sing and play
We are young and we are old
The night breeze carries the tunes
I may be fao, and I may be inebriated
Harps and chords, strings to be strummed
I see you stare, would you like a Rum?
You know what you want
So close your eyes
The kiss will be sweet
Tomorrow you may fly away
Tonight the strings they are all in play

String me along
Not for long
All strings fall
Naked is your deception
The strings are all gone


Notes "chante" pronouncec shante, = sing in french
Fao = ugly in Spanish

Cherl Dunn December 7, 2014 at 9:11 PM Arthur, what would you like to know about my friend Tatoo, he was a good man, a fellow whom lived two doors down from me. He was 57 years old an engineer, but he loved a women who was hooked on drugs, he got caught up in her mischief, and died of a massive heart attack. But they was more within this man's heart that he never spoke about a sensivity, a gentleness of the human spirit. He love to be free on his motor cycle, and the open road mentality, and he touched all of us here with this Arthur Vaso December 9, 2014 at 10:03 PM Ah thanks for explaining, I was sure it was about a friend, you sure made a wonderful dedication to him! God bless.

Cherl Dunn December 7, 2014 at 9:05 PM This is a great poem of excellence my friend let these voices never be silenced, may they always ring out in unison's oppulence of pure joy of the human experience and shared amongst our kind through many of generations to come, bravo, Arthur your friend cheri Arthur Vaso December 9, 2014 at 10:02 PM Thank yo so much Cherl, I appreciate all your kind comments!!
