Premium MemberSince Rap Replaced Tap

           
            Ever since ‘rap’ replaced ‘tap’

               Talent has taken a very long nap


Premium MemberSearching for Tempo in Desert Sands

                In Arabian singsong, the dancer began
                   Searching for tempo in desert sands
                Torso twisting and turning to the rhythm of time
                    With a toss of her head and a shake of her mane

                 Tambourines rang, spectators clapped
                     the dancer transformed, shot into his lap
                 Wriggling her belly and lighting his fire
                     she struggled to control her desire… 

              … At the end of the night, slumped over, frail, spent
                     too many years barely paying the rent

Premium MemberAutumn's Breath

Summer breaks, it goes to bed,
The sunburnt country is no longer red.

Autumn’s breath begins to creep
Across the plains and gullies deep.

It plays an eerie, thoughtful tune,
Beneath a warm and amber moon,

Whispering amongst the majestic gums
To warn the scrub the season comes.

While the changing leaves don't hit the eye:
Bursting gold appears beneath the southern sky,

Bright wattles along the dirt track
To push the longer shadows back.

A flock of cockatoos takes flight,
Screaming at the angled light.

For me, this wind is pure relief...
I find no need for any grief.

Premium MemberTo the wounded heart

Love is a complex melody
a most divine soothing remedy

Premium MemberCall It a Wrap


	Whatever happened to ‘Rap?’

            I think they’re about to play ‘Taps’

Premium MemberCarry my bags Sandman

It’s night time I hear white windy breeze
Making a song with pines blowing trees

Likewise I hear a siren far away
First responders on the move to save

Life of someone in critical need
Listen to there cries and heart beat

Or maybe a baby is being birthed
Good and bad days for them at work

Strange enough the cicadas are quiet
I guess it’s too cold even crickets are silent

Not hearing music or many cars at all
My muse is fast asleep as soon I shall fall

Carry my bags sandman if you can
From under brown eyes in tan hands

Fighting the urge to write until five
When morning birds will sing of light

Premium MemberDream Destination

If there’s really no limitation 
Heaven is my dream destination

A place where all the best people are
The beautiful ones and our Father God

You get to meet people from all times
The greatest souls with the best minds

And all the animals who you love
That went to rainbow bridge above

The music there would be so sweet
Melodic and smooth unique of peace

I imagine the gardens so plush and green
Flowers and waterfalls clean pristine

No sadness there nor sickness at all
Everyone there happy having a ball

Premium MemberThe Spirit of Memories

Sound as loud as a whisper or as quiet as a scream;
music weaving in, weaving out, and weaving in between every dream ~
dreaming is the most beautiful thing, 
I see your spirit as delicate as sculpted Ming,
there in your favorite place upon the piano bench
as if the melody you play and play again could quench
the love-sickness left within my soul at your departing~
No! It’s whispers loud and screams of quiet the memories are ceaselessly imparting.

Premium MemberViolins Lift Heartstrings

  
     Violins lift heartstrings       
        soar on sentient wings

     Evoke dawn’s majesty
        hint at evening’s tragedy 

     Fiddles tease out playful tunes
        Violins arrange the heaven’s moons

Premium MemberHuman Euphony

We are a soft echo in the sky,
A lilting whisper on the water's flow.
Our moments move like light across the rye,
A gentle melody that helps us grow.
In every heart, a sweet and mellow sound,
The lovely, living music of being found.

Premium MemberAlways Remember or Well-Tempered Clavier

A clavier who, his temper loses, 
suffers from discordant bruises.

Premium MemberLife's Flavor

     Music gives life its flavor

        magic moments ~ forever to savor

Premium MemberMusic of the Night

Our sleep song ends as night swiftly retires...
into sunbeams through which our dream expires. 

Premium Member1410

against the cold backdrop of a monochrome sky
resplendent music permeate from a blackbird's sigh
