Grosso Poems | Examples


Reserata Carcerem Xxv

beauty is not the spell of sight;
airy alakazam mars might
la-de-da leases passion prunes
bounty bewitchment urges glued

neither is beauty smeared music;
crumbling crescendos pruning panic
moaning melody, rustic riffs
concerto grosso feelings prick

beauty is all but tampered fate;
generous nature smooth sketch creates,
nor beauty is an apt asset;
blue business - innovation's crest

beauty is a coin of two sides;
seen and unseen - one's got masked might!

Note: of bias beauty.

Reserata Carcerem Xvi

lanky love's a sassy spell;
airy alakazam, wit's nest
callous cauldron oozing nectar
wanky witchery, salient bicker

its features foil hankering hoists
masticated moaning churn coils
dark dirge clothed'n rustic rhythm
crisp crescendos, masked melody

its reeling riffs are worn to trail;
etched'n concerto grosso - pored pain
throbbing thumping - its hampered hymn
bounty blitzkrieg, lame, bruised lyrics

love has no worth until it's a trade:
partners banking assets they've made.
         '20:06:09:10:23

Note: of lured love.

Music Met Madness

callous crest grows
into crumbling crescendoes
lost bounty balance
to moaning coda
wielding wanky melody -
smoldering mystic symmetry

punctured contractions pianissimo
bleeding concerto grosso
drowning dainty diapason

sour lyrics smirks
squashing salient thirst
jumpy jazz jerks


music met madness
turbulent twain wedded.
'20:01:22:05:25

Note: Dedicated to artiste like Nigerian Naira Marley, who fixes s into beats in the name of music.

Pulsing Pear Blushed

pruning pulpy pear
tactic tier's there 
passion pasting prayers 
fostering fallible fair 
felon figs belched 
contractions cobbling crest 
 
whooshing wind yawned 
tucking tainted flaws 
owed to draws 
 
then a coda 
mystic melody murdered 
concerto grosso clustered 
 
pulsing pear blushed 
leering lanky lust.

Melody

It started on D - flat, 
succulent & succinct 
soft & rhythmic
loaning hearts pats. 
the wail of the piano
caressing the voices' glissando

riffs tampered with the tune, 
notes trailing tracks of crest, 
demisemiquaver pruned
by the demigod crochet:
parts of belts

accompanying baritone, 
baroque & tormenting bass
nursing decrescendo, 
an atlas

And then clef, 
embellishing the melody, 
encore spill the best, 
swift fortemente

Hearts lured, 
esophagus of the musician
shifting. Pure
steps moving in pleasure, 
as the lyrics complimented
the melody

A coda:
a flat accompaniment
severed the passion
as the keys & notes did melt

tumult in rhythm, 
sundry languages inflected
the lyrics. 

like concerto grosso
of courante on 
bagpipes, accordion, 
harps, obeos & paino. 

now we're stuck
in the maze of this music, 
no virtuoso could make meaning of
the tune, lyrics or melody

but we're moving our bodies, 
till those that gets weary
goes to hear death's string.
