Best Tonality Poems
When You Say My NameYou wrap my name
In syllables of love
Passion tinged sound units
Caressed by the beauty of your voice
you leave me no choice
but to yield....
breathed into my ear
you release
letter sojourners to travel
down the curve of my neck
to a cadence that captivates
and my heart capitulates
When you say my name....
When...

Sol Y SombraThis is a land of metronome duality.
We’re cowed by sun, then huddle in the dark.
Here shrubs and lizards eke, with bleak frugality,
a living that’s both passionless and stark.
But I’m from England. When parched cyclones rake
white dust in sterile spirals, I delight
in half-remembered rainclouds, and...

I Wish You KnewI wish you knew
when it all gets a little too much,
and I feel out of touch
needing an emotional crutch
to get me through
I wish you knew
It's your smile
That's chases away my blues
I wish you knew
when I'm weary of life
bone weary of the tried and true
longing for...

80s 2 Dancing In Time With GodHey There
Giving so much
I can't see you
There
with your husband4
That should be me
We tested the waters and the great sea
found a sailor.
Nearby I fixed the dog: he'll never love again
Lusting beast, he'll never love again.
I found an old picture of you when our lives crossed
never...

For a Special Friend On My Mindthere are dice rolling in my head
it does not matter what numbers
are face up, emitted from the
nucleus is a poem just for you
special you are in ways that make
the sun hesitant when it comes to
clocking out to let the moon take over
there is a...

Just what is love, you inspire me to write.
How I love the way you drool, sting and fly,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about the blue deny.
Let me compare you to a philia tune?
You are more...

PygmalionAs an aperitif to understand the essence of thought
Blood of a young tortoise touched my lips
Seldom as it is - pure ichor – I whisper’d in a trot
Let me get drunk on it while deifying the lunar eclipse
That is what I deserve, that is what...

Intoxicated RondeauIntoxicated Rondeau
Totally intoxicated in prime movers’ immortality
Never hidden in punchy illusion
Broken heart dips into sacred circus hilarious absurdity
Images of staggering lightheadedness - cleared vision fusion.
Stronghold built on the perfect harmony suffusion
Of love’s author – dizzy with tipsy truth’s reality -
Distilled Spirit's healing balm -...

Dissonance a Forked Tongue in CheekYou sound like a fingernail
dragged over a blackboard.
Every word cast as blackmail
from a forked tongue in cheek.
Bathed in the vile, bile of diatribe,
masticated to be flung as dung expelled.
Your snarled words reek with
the dissonant cadence of discordance.
As your eyes flicker
from side to side with...

Mr Bassman….
A man of pure music
A man of liveliness
A man of titillating satisfaction
With his gentle touch
And his soft gaze
For this is a man who captivates all
A man who will fulfill your deepest desire through music
As he snatches the souls of the tempting ones
Making...
