Best Musical Poems

When things get rough
Music takes me away
Whether, notes fall with tears
Or melodies relax me,
I am released from all 
That overwhelms me
The music carries me, 
When burdens are too heavy
The songs peel away layers of pain
I travel to the place, music takes me
As I listen, the...

Music is an undying 
art of soul ~ 
an abstract eden, where, 
euphonious unicorns 
glide in strawberry sonatas, 
amplifying rhapsody in
ballads of flight, 
when fuchsia feathers
tease those 
jingling breezes, 
infusing breaths
in every lifeless aroma;
where I can soar 
beyond the 
brushstrokes 
of symphonies that
planktons sing to...

Music is my therapy, 
  
             and yet, confusion rewinds,

The town was all a flutter; Zombie the Musical, was coming to town.
We all signed up as extras… Yes, as Zombies… here we did come.
Bruce Willis was the hero, with the Mad Scientist Z, for all to blame.
Dragon wanted to be the hero, but became...

Clothes all wrinkled on the floor...
A pathway of roses to my door...
Like a sweet wine tasting, we sip...
Tasting each others love on our lips...
The radio is off but there are musical sounds...
Our voices harmonize as our bodies lie down...
As our toes curl in passion we...

Torturing me with touches
I feel the sting of hardened and lasting lust
Touches not of mortal fingers,
But Halloween-haloed strings composed by musicians of mystery
Pressing upon my back--yes! A searing, yet melodi-errotic strike
All upon me, yet far from me...

Leave me not in the judgement of my own...

wind dances with great pines

long needles brush together

low musical hush.

Curvaceous body,
His bow caresses her strings:
Ode to Joy...begins.
·
Musical romance,
Passionate sighs grace the air:
Fervent notes ascend.
·
Music fills the room,
She’s addicted to his bow:
The violin plays.
·
Heated melodies,
Of a musical affair:
Between bow and strings....

The sound rushing into my ears,
Flowing into my every vein,
Feel every cell vibrating,
In unison.
That feeling of ecstasy,
The rush, catches my breath,
Musical melody.
As I close my eyes,
And let it wash over me,
It cleanses, purifies,
All the anger, hurt
That lay buried deep inside.
The tunes reverberate,
Through my very soul.
It's...

Plucking at the metal strings
Thumping vibration pulsing the air
Tuba all classy and dancing with bass
Suddenly silence, the palette bone bare

The voice of the infinite instrument
settles the band and elates
You're singing and smiling and lifting the sky
while the keys all turn toward you and burn, concentrate

The...

There is only one thing that you can control in this world
As It's to whom that we sing that our soul will be unfurled
You are completely powerless over all that you do control
But it will really become a mess the day you lose your soul

Just...

With pegs and pins in a bucket that’s full, 
She hangs her music to dry,
Where it hums a tune majestically soft, 
And it hums it up to the sky,

And the Lento and Largo sways in the breeze, 
The Staccato hangs with the blues,
And the Accent...

Type casting Pirates of Penzance
Lining up those who’ll sing and dance
Some aced the illusion
Others beyond delusion
Laughing so hard I wet my pants

(From the musical "On Eagles' Wings." This is the lullaby for Passover night.)

Mother 1:
Be still, my child, go to sleep
The night is dark, but dreams are sweet
My child, take rest from fear and dread
And relish all your dreams instead

Though life is harsh, your dreams can...
