Legato Poems

Sung By Puglia

ono una ruota che gira sempre
senza una destinazione o un rullo

Sono una trottola che gira sempre
che gira finché non mi fermo
Signore, cosa devo fare?
Allora cosa devo fare?
I miei mondi in un vortice
Dammi amore o speranza
Solo una cosa a cui aggrapparmi
Mi fai girare in tondo
Ohh in giro
E in giro vado
Sono legato a te
Per te
Ohh, ooh, ohh
Sono un orologio senza volto
Con speranze senza tempo
Che non si fermano mai
Signore, quando mi sento così
Tu conosci la mia anima in cambio
__________________________
una piccola cosa a cui aggrapparsi, ah
mi hai fatto girare in tondo

The Headliner

             Dolce
By:Sonidos de Baja Frecuencia

Infatuation is blind to problems
wishful thinking and careful
considerations
True love requires and fosters
a sense of security
and a feeling of trust
the blind sense of security

                   Legato
By:Ritmos Románticos
             A style
cantabile and sooth flowing
it echo's even when the song is over
it moves your emotions
and causes you to think
it can create sessions of conversations
where many people move toward
looking forward to certain things
love enhances a romantic feel
the right sound and situation
a genre rich
crossovering perfection
rehersted, restyled
and of pitch and perfection
that close to perfect directing
guiding and leading the way

Premium MemberSequined and Ambrosia

On wayward ivy 
 calyx in woodlands

       a spruce-blue butterfly

sparkling rustles 
       of 
   sweet wind chant
       swings in the ethereal morning light

    legato lilts silken waves
in 
   sequined ambrosia shades

crimson undertones 
   on 
 oyster weaves

moonstone 
& 
damask 
   mist hummed melodies

   a list of nostalgic queries
 collude to bind

metamorphosis of spirit 
   and 
personality 
   through social awareness

 referred
    to self and to you

  harbinger
of 
  love and light

   sparkling
 through tonight's sky

Mulatto the Alligator

I've heard him sing: The Mulatto:
By fat hotter than Roberto
Like Pepper is to Pimento;
Lost to him, too, one Alberto:
The boy friend of Fine Talatu...

Alto in all shows he goes to,
Even when beats are Staccato
Or long remains The Legato...

Yes, A very Good Contralto, 
Overly fond if Sweet Potato
He would eat with Mashed Tomato...

Harsh words for Irish Potato;
Yet harsh Teeth of Alligator:
In anger bites in their ghetto!

Sonata For Christmas Eve Rain

SONATA FOR CHRISTMAS EVE RAIN

I.	 I sit in my friend’s armchair,
waiting for her to get ready for church.
Pianissimo, the raindrops fall in quick, staccato rhythm 
on the windows, the roof, and the pool.
I imagine the circles they make on the water.
expanding in echoes only angels can hear.

II.	We drive through the valley’s empty green pastures,
to the old country church in Academy.
The raindrops run down the windshield
like notes connecting in smooth legato phrases
made by a piano’s pedal.

III.	A fire crackles in the church’s ancient woodstove,
joining the outside rain in an animated duet.
Lead by the antique pump organ,
we stand to sing, becoming part
of their Christmas carol.

Premium MemberSinuous Melody

                          Your face
                        is a love song 
                     of exquisite and matchless appeal

                Your eyes 
              a duet of violin and cello
             sonorous, deep 

          Your hair 
         an orchestra of euphonious instruments
         playing in cohesive harmony

           Your smile
             a fantasia 
               of unearthly delight

                   Your teeth 
                    a legato line of 32nd notes
                    in a concerto played to perfection

                  Your hands
                a conductor’s baton
              emoting wordlessly

          Your voice 
       a rhapsody
   of supernal joy

 Your heart
a sumptuous lyric
a poetic paragon

  Your soul
     a sacred oratorio 
      set apart and holy
 
      You are a sinuous melody 
    I can’t get out of my head
 …nor will I ever wish to

Fifth Symphony 1

a sweet legato melody fragment
pithy and memorable violin
giving way to pounding heart
atavistic relationships of
attendant focused forces
i do not love you except *
because i love you

sweet battles of the long war of love
articulate measures of lust
superseding the insidious invasions
fleeting moments of sorrow
i go from loving to not loving you

motivic relationships minor versus
major..thorns of the last war
my love moves from cold
to engulfing infernos
[from my epic long poem 2222 line . fifth symphony}

A Scarlet Response

I unlatched the window facing the Ivy frontage
The two trellis shutters went to play with the lights
The crimson waves of your full barrage
Inviting me to the velvet hilly heights

Brenda Chiri looked from the far west
Relaxed in her white tuberose fragrance
'No one can do romance like you', she stressed
With delight the two teacups closed their distance

I looked at the light playing on her angelic photo
In the left hand upper corner of the compliment
The morning sea in the violin and viola in legato
The pink hilltops laugh with green agreement

I turned my neck at the sunrise window
When she came and stood there, I didn't know

On Tour

On Tour


To dive into the world of the great barrier reef would be enough
assimilating into the tranquil environment somewhere in the Capricorn
looking below while leaping merrily from a bluff
Like a babe in earth's womb, I am reborn.

Like a dart thrown on a map, may it land in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco 
Among the snow-capped peaks, I'd breathe the air of eagles, frozen in awe
Wind whistling with legato, birds beneath quietly chirping their song in pizzicato
I would like nothing more than to remain here in this place, a place to withdraw.

Before I bounced from this terrestrial ball I'd have to party in Spain
One last hurrah flying first class to Ibiza 
One last adrenaline rush, amped with red bull, taunting bulls with eyes bloodstained
One last expression from this American, perhaps a spending spree with a visa.

When the night has come and I should travel no more
Take me back home and bury me in earth's floor

Soul Deep

as the tide calmly came
and the winds sang
he played
six strings 
ardently
his fingers stroked each note
touching her innermost
leaving a glow wherever it flowed
her soul's anecdote
is what he told
legato
slow
so she would know
he wanted to take his time
to find nuances of her mind
hidden in intricate designs
that twirled and twined
brightly
igniting the mind of his eye
inviting him to come inside


and she sighed


because he played like he knew her
and she felt like she was newer
and that's what drew her
so she drew him
into her
and she drew him 
in purer
strokes of color
his hues
she painted the grays and blues
in rhythm, in tune
to the resonance that brewed
in his soul into
every fiber of his being
was being viewed
as though he was nude
..she saw him too


and he cried


so as one they painted and played
as though it was love that they made
heated exchange
souls engaged
singing the same refrain
giving off identical rays
warming
soothing like beautiful rain
and both became 
changed
in waves
and in they fell... 
soul deep

Music

Music, music, it’s in the air,
Here is a list of what I hear:

A B C D E F G
(1 e & a) (1 2 3)

Rhythm, beat, timing, and tempo,
Fermata, rest, and accelerando,

Forte, piano, half, and whole,
Quarter, dotted, and staccato,

Sharp, flat, and natural, too,
4/4, 3/4, 6/8, and 2/2,

Measure, scale, and arpeggio,
Chord, seventh, and legato,

Major, minor, and decrescendo,
Crescendo, seventh, and ritardando,

Staff, spaces, lines, and strings,
Sixteenth, in-tune, and fingering,

Woodwind, brass, position, and trill,
Treble, bass, mellow, and shrill,

Percussion, composer, style, and key,
Quickly, lively, somber, and freely,

Triplet, tone, tied, and up-beat,
Pick-up, slur, eight, and down-beat.

You may hear music here and there,
But I hear music everywhere.

Birdsong Serenade

Birdsong twitters
Sunlight flickers in and out of clouds
Weaving messages with light
You resonate with sound

Chirping virtuoso
Eco vibrato on a pleasing wind
A melody to serenade my ears
As wings glide legato 
Wings flap staccato
From bird’s eye view
Your chorus chimes

I beg reprise ...

If Languages Were Instruments

If languages were instruments,
English, the language of my own America,
Would be something like a piano.
Each word is clear and sharp-
When we sing, the note does not waver.
But I suppose it's more fair to say that
English is something like an electronic keyboard
With two hundred different modes because English
Has so many different versions, 
Adaptations of other instruments,
Emulations, or imitations, however you want 
To think of it; there is no accent that cannot 
Be reconfigured to be
Played on keys in distinct shades
Of black or white.

Arabic though...
Arabic is more like a violin.
The sound of Arabic
Flies up and down the scale
In deliciously smooth legato,
Stopping to linger on vibrato;
Poignant
