Arnold Schoenberg
of whom you may have heard
One who abandoned tonality
prefrring musicaity mere free
The atonal composer Arnold Schoenberg
as an artist* no one could curb
A portraitist who never was fazed
as into the eyes we gaze

TANKA LOVE MUSIC
how familiar that tune –
the enchanting night
your warm embrace –
now i remember
claire de lune
piano - four hands
fur elise you’ve never heard
such cross-overs
our hands would touch
and we’d laugh
my love with child
not my own
yet some eternal source within
said, “i forgive”
transfigured night *
*Arnold Schoenberg
