Best Tunes Poems

In waters’ calm leisure, mellow tides drift
Along back strides that always find their sway,
The lighter blues, the deeper jades, that sift
Glimmers of mollusks that twinkle and play.

From the swoon of bay when dusk slowly cranes
Pewter the wavelets, darker steel the shore;
Above, one bold and yellow...

Those sad violin tunes play for me, from the depths of heart
The moment when love failed me
The moment I became a toy, the moment I became a sick doll
Set to be used at will and discarded without being given a second glance

Those sad violin tunes...

Birds singing to dawn's delight
 Sweet songs in the morning light
 Balmy breeze, and the elm sways
 Treetop tunes on summer days
 Blooms blush where gardens grow
 Red roses in sunshine's glow
 Butterflies fluttering by

Why have my guitar
strings turned into spaghetti?
What a saucy mess....

The melody of summer grips 
The soothing sounds vibrate the soul 
Its rhythm tingles to the tips 
The melody of summer grips 
Bringing a smile to once sad lips 
It frees the mind and makes you whole 
The melody of summer grips 
The soothing sounds...

Gren's Evergreens (Golden Oldies) # 2 
Sponsor: Teppo Gren

I chose song #2: Unchained Melody:

Oh, my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love...

My fingers played the piano

                                     running over ivory keys.

I long for the music 
whispers of beauty hum, 
smoky flares of red summer days, 
man on fire lifts from brewing flames. 
Sun over dark river propels 
layers of colored light, vivid streamers, 
and story white pages. 

Morning bliss comes in 
between the first true...

1.  Inevitability

The rain will come
and be rude.
The wind blow away
all quietude.
Erase it?

Debase it?
You have no power
and when it's
your hour, you'll 
go, you know.

2. Drowning 

My foot tapping time, O sweet,
he cannot know he echoes mine.
He's not in this world, but I am.
Take me there!...

Dancing moonlight 
Flitting gracefully across the water's surface
Music stringing by in ribbons
Blending into an exquisite song
Above the sky they climb on and on
Music, Moon, Water, rejoice I have come
Silent Shadows watch in marveled awe
As the spectors continue their performance
Through the night I live, I learn
Over...

You almost have to be from New Orleans to understand
the mixture of the music that wails throughout the city,
It's zydeco, jazz, Cajun, classical, rhythm and blues
any combination from which you can pick and choose. 
 

Fats Domino and Huey 'Piano' Smith live down the street

In Vanity, They Sing Hollow Tunes

Shall we march: into nights so darkly bound;
And within storms raging the foamy seas;
Rests the power of dark fury unbound,
And desperation in the Fallen's pleas.

Bitter sweet the glories the gods have sent
Small solace unto man's eternal quest,
Wherein the stones dropped...

Listen to the rain falling down,
it sounds as you are playing the drums.
Listen to the wind blowing,
it blows straight from your heart when you play the saxophone. 
Listen to the music of the snow falling, 
It's the winter sonata performing on the right stage.
A right...
