Zephyr Longing Concerto
Written: April 06, 2025, for contest sponsored by Brian Strand
****************
a luminous day is what I offered you
within the harbor of my spirit
you morphed into a phoenix
and soared in the sky of my desires
you flew in ecstasy
The pink sun bathed you with tenderness
you were unaware of my canvas
a

The Concerto Of Heart
Under the seamless sky of crystalline cosmic sheen
resplendent rays of the mesmeric moon embrace you.
On the sequined waves of the stardust surge I float,
see the luster of your heart in the patina of your eyes.
My dormant desires are enticed to feel enamored
your shimmering radiance in the moonshine, I adore.
Your ballerina

January Concerto
The first light I saw,
flashed in the first month of the year,
the epitome of rotational time transition,
and the harbinger of hopeful new beginning,
symbolized by the novelty of Jenus.
Born with the cardinal zodiac sign of intractable psyche,
an archetype of carnation flowering and perseverance,
prepared always to take discerned control of destiny.
Ruled by the planet

Swangadabe
I just wanted you to know
I bought this up to say
you put me in a bad position
see I have to forsake all others
keep other men away
don't think I am being jealous
or I just needed something to say
saw him winking at my Missus
a smirk and grin: I saw you smile
Said swig your wine and beat-it Mister

Concerto of Psychosis
“Psychotic hallucinations, whether they are visual or vocal, they address you. They accuse you. They seduce you. They humiliate you.
They jeer at you. You interact with them.”
Oliver Sacks
This is not an illusive myth,
this is my unspoken tale,
woven in infernal syllables of sorrow,
of how I lost my sanity~
once upon a blood moon,
exhausted by the

Charismatic Concerto
In bejeweled jade landscape
the topaz terrain rolls
on wondrous waves,
undulating with
the sculpted panorama
of pristine cadence,
entrenches in earthen frame
the sprawling shape
of a serene lake
sublimely sparkling,
the sapphire shining face
looks up
toward the cerulean sky,
entranced.
The southern zephyr
whispers enticing melody
to the rhapsodic ripples
intensely passionate,
spread in seraphic span
of self-centric rhythm,
slide on slithering shadows
of the

Concerto Of Clotting
Finally my blood began to coagulate,
and stopped to seep out of the slashed heart,
lacerated in the tempest of turmoil
by the sharp shards of your refutation.
In the memory meadow I found a crack split open
in the longing ledge of my hypnotized heart,
where the sole sapling of love bloomed in brilliance,
freed from the compelled confinement

String
Do you feel the chaotic concerto?
The cloaked and clandestine composer
Plucking at the ivory keys, exactly eighty eight
With even more ways to tangle those
Countless red strings of taut linear fate.
To be a being, we first must begin
To begin, we must be born, then torn
From the lively, slick, loud, and slimy link
Of mother’s umbilical cord, now
Cut.
Cartwheel your

Autumnal Concerto and Inner Symphony
10/17/2023
Along a winding lane of glowing orange
leaves, I leisurely strolled.
Thinking of years past,which, like a sudden,
strong wind, blew in cyclonic tunnels away.
Walking on crunchy

A Performance of a Brahms Piano Concerto
It is bitter cold crossing the Thames
to the Festival Hall,
now we are as warm as if in a local pub.
Hush now you people – who I shall never know,
or meet again anywhere,
Hush the endless calculations
of your tieless brains.
Brahms is adjusting his piano stool.
A fine performance.
Old, fat, cigar smoking Brahms
in the guise of a lovely female

Who Sang Concerto
when she found her husband and boss had made
arrangments in her name she began to seek help
with her faith.
She knew that what was learn had to be taught
and under who's influence
was her husband.
She worstened her fear with thinking
her womanish nature made her husband fear the security
of their togetherness. She found out that the arrangments were

The Cat and Her Cello
The cat with her cello sat on the street
To meet and greet folk with music so sweet
It was no surprise
She brought tears to eyes
With her ‘Elgar's Cello Concerto’ treat.

A Performance of the Sibelius Violin Concerto
She is a child of twenty or so,
a beautiful woman
if I were young enough to call her that.
The composer must have wrote this
for a girl with arms
as long as a Mediterranean sunset
but then also as ivory as a Nordic sky.
The music opens and I sense
that it will never close,
just as all our love affairs
play with

Attitude Gratitude Concerto and Cheese
life had written an etude in D minor and barely gave him a pass
D for defeat denial disintegration dour reprise of the inevitable
bottom of the class for society sang to its dominant song book
while he was tone deaf and kept quiet hiding a coarse inner voice
his internal melodies sounded like a rusty cheese grinder on
