Best Musician Poems

His fingers sailing on the string
Arousing enchanting rhythm from sleep
   Solace to desolate hearts bring
    And penetrate the craving souls deep

Music drifting in the air like perfume
Healing wounds like the miracles of Jesus
 Prevailed serenity torments consume

there is, indeed,a relationship
between music and poetry
creation! expression! release of things inside
If I had experienced neither, when I had died
And had to value the worth of my life,
And rate the influence my existence generated
for the general good, I'd be shy
How can I explain my worth,...

There was a disabled musician
Who stiffly played every audition.
Now recording with care,
Strumming from his armchair,
On youtube he’ll post each composition.

There were reasons we shouldn’t be together,
There were reasons we should have stayed apart,
But no reason could ever reason
With the passions brewing in our heart.

She was married to the mayor,
The richest man in our town,
I was an unemployed musician
For whom success had never come around.

She...

Rain seeps into every crack and crevice
chilling to the bone
Winter has arrived with a vengeance 
and summer is forever gone.
Ice slicks the asphalt, into a
glittering glistening death trap.
Here begins the slow invasion 
of the unrelenting cold. 

This grubby little mutt follows one day,
His hair matted,...

I am searching your music
With torn flesh and jagged nails
Ripping stones from the earth
To find our root on the surface
Photosynthesizing some toleration
For the modified scream,
Your life flipping
From street to stage
I am looking for a beat to write
Dancing is too easy
Too coherent
Life is not like that...

The Musician


I need a singer, to sing me a song;
Anytime of the day, I will need her love.
I need her beauty, to shine as she sings;
Or I need to hear her scream in sympathy.


My eternal sunshine, you look divine,
Beneath the light that shines, to show...

A song on its tune
Makes others want to sing
A perfect harmony
Affects everyone who listen

Written and sung by someone
A musician with a powerful thinking
But no one knows his identity
Even the title of what he's singing...

If you can hear what I do
A someone who once written
When heard, I did not know who
A someone who gave me my moment

A piece written… unlike us
A piece to us… to mean music
Like words… I cannot ask
Like music… a musician will seek

If amidst the air…...

Cold and damp, the stool in the corner,
The muso sits with guitar.
All in good time,
That’s rhythm and rhyme,
He brings colour and life to the bar.

Gus beats melodies, tunes and songs,
Ballads and harmony lines.
Rhythm and rhyme,
That’s all in good time,
With a chipped glass half full of...
