Chords Poems

chords whisper-TSF

strings hum
fingers drum
notes soar
echo roar
heart beats
soul meets
night sings

wood sings
tone rings
air bends
sound sends
fire glows
warm flows
life swings

chords leap
dreams seep
eyes close
spirit knows
hands play
tunes stay
time drifts

music flies
stars rise
strings dance
hearts glance
joy swells
song tells
world wakes

Premium MemberIn the depths of his soul, the gentleman keeps chords of silent harmony

In the depths of his soul, the gentleman keeps chords of silent harmony,
each key a secret, a universe of sounds that will not be uttered.
He carries in his heart an orchestra of dreams that need no stage,
for true art lies in the silence between the notes, in their unplayed state.
Like a magician of silence, he

Premium MemberJust set me free

All I have to do 
to keep loving you 
is to play that game 
like you always do.

You hide your love 
cause you were hurt before,
so you measure our love 
like a game to score.

You stood by my side 
till you took me for a ride 
I couldn't have imagined it so,
You told me that

Premium MemberSoothing Chords from Angelic Lullabies


When days reflect like the veil of nightfall,
once bright eyes, like somber stars fail to glow.
World looks so big, but your soul feels so small,
as deep sighs mimic heartbeats breathing slow.

Before the storm absorbs my spirit's hope,
I search beyond weeping shadows of clouds,
counting my blessings to help weak mind cope.
Faith always finds me when I'm

Premium MemberObstreperous Vocal Chords

I am lost, my eyes wide, and my heart quivering.
My legs are paralyzed, and I have no memory.
I stroll silently, my consciousness wandering.
I am alone inside an unexplored territory.

I would wish the room to be cold and inviting.
I envy our heat vitality to come from within,
trusting that it won't be an errorless meeting.
I simply wish

Unison

All human are equal,
Sex, faith, mind, skill, treat, mood, feet;
In "Homage" state,
Where we belong, live, controlled, undisturbed
Like chords.

Stranger, are we not equal?
Odd.

Premium MemberFreedoms Chords

Who would lend their essence to such words
Uncrumple them ‘midst fading sense of truth
Sharpen dull edgeless rusting swords.

Shouted once from blood stained creaking boards
Muttered by those grown “long in the tooth”
Who would lend their essence to such words

Whisper calls from echoless fjords
Spur the interest of our failing youth
Sharpen dull edgeless rusting swords

Challenge them to run

Premium MemberComposing Songs

Which key should I put this song in?
I sing in G Ionian/major comfortably,
Likewise the relative E Aeolian/minor scale.
Plus those guitar chords are easy as sin.

I could choose a scale that’s more exotic -
D Mixolydian has the same notes and chords.
Hungarian or Roumanian minor, Spanish Gypsy.
Or another scale derived from minor harmonic.

Keep it simple – let’s

Songs That Have Harmonious Chords

Songs that have harmonious chords
uplift and woo the ones 
who listen and delight in their worth,
while they are taken beyond
our beautiful planet Earth;
let all hear your song played
with a thrilling sound!

God smiles down on us and his breath
is the gentle caress of the wind;
what pleases Him is our shining faith,
let's keep on singing aloud!

Songs that

Light of My Reason

The chords of wind plays
another song of dawn
each stroke a painting
behind the clouds,
slumber in my eyes
feel of dead throat
swallowed my last lyrics
Shall I ask for an encore
for the light of my reason?
