My Tribute To Jazz Music

Dear Friends , As a lover of pure Jazz , I had written this sincere tribute two years back ! 
Hope you will like it ? Thanks for reading !


MY TRIBUTE TO JAZZ MUSIC

I can feel its rhythm and beat, 
And also its pulsating pain, 
Its music flows freely, -
Through my arteries and veins! 
Its beats always echoes, 
Through the corridors of my mind, 
As I get wafted, on the wings of time! 
Its music gets synchronized, 
With my heart’s muffled beats, 
As I try to keep time, - 
With the tapping of my feet! 
Each of its pulsating rhythm, 
And all its background chimes, 
With syncopated lilts , 
Jazz remains harmonized! 

The piano players dancing fingers, 
Caresses a rhythmic sway, 
While the Sax’s deep throated tenor, 
Drives my loneliness away! 
When I hear my old jazz music, 
And those golden classic tunes, 
I forget I am getting old, 
To time I become immune !!
I begin to feel like the old King Cole, 
As the music tingles my mind, 
And rejuvenates my Soul!

Premium Member Old Time Rock and Roll

Just imagine this:

Old time rock and roll
This music makes me whole
Like in the days of old
Love that  in my soul

Tom Crew loves to rock, 
To old casetts he really bops
He dances in his socks
And it's really not, a shock

Old time rock and roll
This fills Alf's body's soul
Like in the days of old
He loves that rock and roll

Bob Seger soothes my soul
With his old time rock and roll
YouTube was his greatest gold
He loves that old time rock and roll

Alvin and The Chipmunks 
rock, They're dance is the tops,
When it comes, to the gold;
They love to, rock and roll

Love that rock and roll
Old time music fills my soul
Like in the days of old
Love that rock and roll

(This idea came to me after hearing Bob Seger(Hadn't hear in a long time) again.  Went to 
YouTube and found some of his songs "Old Time Rock and Roll " being one of them. I 
wanted to put it in some kind of form so everyone could be reminded of him.)

A Change of Face

A new life has begun
My old has gone
Family not well and friends vanished
A new place and new faces
All too much to handle
Leaving hurts, feels as if your heart is torn
Trust has withered
Love has faded
Time to start a new
Truly not wanting too
Jobs and responsibilities
Dropped upon me like a ton of bricks
Now the only thing I hold close 
Are old memories and dreams
I flip open my notebook and strum on my guitar
As I sit out upon the windowsill 
And wonder why my soul has gone so far


Stand By Me

"And darling, darling, stand by me, Oh stand by me"
With his guitar in hand, the man belts his famous song.
       I could listen to that old voice all night long.

       "If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall"
As I listen to the legendary B. B. King
       There's no question he's getting old, but the man can still sing!

       "I won't cry, I won't cry, Oh I won't shed a tear -
Just as long as you stand by me"
       As his song comes to a close
I wipe the tears that fell on either side of my nose
       The old soul is still picking at the quitar strings
"Stand by Me" - B. B. King


*Written specifically for Raul Moreno's contest "B.B.King"
My fav genre of music "R&B" (the "blues")  B.B.King is one of the greats,
As are Ray Charles, and Otis Redding!
