GUTS and GAIN

When only hymns of old memoirs and faith starred,
as I lift my eyes, black! Blue is the sun and moon,
will shadows be my frown and sins my ground?
(Gone are the days of pleasure and days of sleep...)

Anxiety escalates clogging the wise thoughts flow,
light saving courage, bravery where are you?
Let your whispers hiss amidst these dreary earth,
stillness the loyal choir escorting my shuddering nerves,

strum! Strum of strength and speed on two heartstrings
nudge like that of a dove, pure to drop: dash of love.
Spin and turn, crash and burn tests a true heart
though no medals, no points there to earn.

Ah! Mercy... within dreich woes is a distinct voice
handing a probable answer blowing mists of confused
An instinct. An impulse, should I believe or not? 
I … listened but only a true love call casts our viscera to churn

sensing the tunes, steps ain't easy but I patiently learn
to taste the essence, I let my lips sway in liftless dance.
Please lie still yet moan on strums~ strums of my tips,
"Maiden, forbid me to go..." Trembles, trembles run echo:

one tenor, one alto, various pitch for evanescent tones
with a passion drenched within warmth of sheer ecstasy
the blend of love will spark, heating eternal flames
and if the world brushes darker shades of light--

consent our tomorrows to paint  a canvass of life...

The Late Val Kilmer

Because of Pneumonia, he couldn't survive.
Val Kilmer has died at the age of sixty-five.
He starred as Batman in "Batman Forever" thirty years ago.
In 2013, he starred in "Ghost Ghirls" and "Palo Alto".
In 2011, he starred in "Blood Out" and "Five Days Of War".
He was a very talented actor who we won't see anymore.
In 2006, Val starred in "Moscow Zero", "Summer Love" and "Deja Vu".
He made an uncredited appearance two years later in "The Love Guru".
Millions of people loved Val Kilmer's performance in "Top Gun".
I'm being precise when I say he'll be remembered by everyone.


[Dedicated to Val Kilmer (1959-2025) who died on April 1, 2025]

Alto Adagio

He wished not to speak
until it was time for him
to sing. It bout a certain
grandeur to the show....

Ah  he say love
then those say who
one would want to know
does she love you too
wasting your time
thinking your in love
is ah trivial thang
that makes the soundest
into fooles
easy to deceive
and make one to believe
we're vulnerable to want
some wish to gain your trust
using the appearance of love
to get what you want
crazy is the word
when you know it's ah front

What do lovers say
when they're in love
how do they speak
what are they thinking of
how do they go on
if it's only day to day
what do lovers speak
tell me what do lovers say

Am I in love
or is it just a moment
gather my composure
do I really want it
Am I in love
can it be
 maybe it's just different
time I have alone
when it's it's with you
I want to spend it
Am I in Love
Am I in Love

Sempre a Sua Vontade

Na vida 
nos negócios
Sempre a sua Vontade
Acima de tudo! 

Domingo,
Sábado,
de segunda à sexta: 
Sua Vontade seja a sua guia,
É o mínimo que te deves.

Sua Vontade seja a sua guia,
Nunca a alheia vontade, 
inda que grata, 
Cumpras como se fosse própria. 

Sempre seja você:
Manda no que fazes, 
Nem de ti mesma seja serva,
Só de ti seja serva.

Sua Vontade seja a sua guia,
Creia: 
Ninguém te dá quem és, 
Portanto: Nada te mude. 

Seja sempre você:
Teu íntimo destino voluntário, 
Teu íntimo destino
ainda que involuntário.

Sua Vontade seja a sua guia,
Cumpre alto. 
Seja filho. 
Seja filha.

Writer from Within

The less
I move my lips at my 4:00 am Saturday morning sessions
The more
These words are trees standing still beside a racing river

A long way away
Freight train bores the night
Moon without light

Its alto horn
Projects from nowhere entangles everywhere

Uninhibited
By barren maples and icy roads
Abandoned homes and snowdrifts
A shadow walking his dog under planets of street lights
All powerless against the elk’s forlorn cry

The long sigh reaches me in my living room
Like a rope
Or an armored snake
That takes its slithering life with such mangled ease

Iron bolts
Shackles jolt and shudder to the lumber spindles

I have no name but I am story

Clack clack
Clack clack
Clack clack

I count the halved steps of thunder from the mysterious miles
Waning afar

As the Rolling Stones once sang Love is like our music
It’s here and then it’s gone

I am magician
Make things appear and disappear
Conjure things to move
Erase the past and future with Bastami’s ink baton

I am startled back to life

Perfect quiet

Train absent if it ever was.


Saiba

Sabia? 
Os Sonhos – os sonhos são radares e orientadores do coração
Os sonhos fazem os projetos da vida ter sentido. 
Os sonhos nos permitem ser...
Os sonhos nos permite ver aquilo que nunca fomos
e nunca vimos. 

Os sonhos nos libertam! 

AH! A Imaginação: a imaginação é o que liberta a ação.
Sonhe com o mar e planeja a navegação.
Sonhe e Veja o alto das montanhas, 
para caminhar sem medo nas planícies.

Inspire: 
nunca viaje só,
não existem pessoas de sucesso só. 
O que existe são pessoas que lutam pelos seus sonhos, 
imaginam a os passos 
e 
inspiram as pessoas a fazerem a caminhada.

Perfeito

Perfeito

AH – Perfeito
AH! Perfeição 
que belo presente seria, 
Ver tudo perfeito
Na vida 
e
Nos negócios.

AH – Perfeito
AH! Perfeição 
não te alcanço,
mas eu te vejo.
 
Vejo a perfeição
 em sonhos ardentes, 
Cantando ao ouvido
 em voz baixa 
que ainda assim irrompe do peito! 

AH, Perfeição – 
Que não posso prender! 
Nos fios da perfeição
o ideal e o real são tecidos 
E vejo a perfeição 
em algo de alegre que ao céu fica bem. 

AH – Perfeição, não te alcanço,
Não paro de buscar!
Ergo a cabeça e estremeço ao ouvir 
O rumor da subida
Do sonho ardente
Irrompendo do peito
Cantando alto ao mundo.

AH, Perfeição 
Que não vejo e não posso prender!

Porta Aberta

Deixe aberta a porta...

Nessa segunda-feira
como todos os dias 
deixe aberta 
a porta da sua casa d’alma; 
para não esconder o horizonte, 
nem empurrar o olhar para longe de todo o céu! 

Para ficar rica, 
próspera 
mantenha na vista 
o sentir para ver.

É tão natural como 
sentir o calor da terra 
no alto do verão 
e o frio da terra no alto do inverno...

Vamos manter a porta aberta
Use seu tradutor
Vamos mudar a mentalidade
- Ver Mentes e não pessoas. Ocupação e não emprego! 

Assista ao filme que muda a Índia...

De Capo Musicia

Andalusian Cadance
--------------------------------------
By: Kavaller Baritone


Fach, I refused to speak her name
the aquiver of her acceptance of me
halted my ability to reposition myself
to center my own ambitions.
I faulted where I should have been more
Concerned to the complications of task.

The competitive posturing between both Alto
and Fach was legendary due to the quality
of there works.Positive tensions gave way to
the male like cockiness which only inflated the
already huge ego's of both these divas.
I still needed to recreate the sounds which
would be sound to the octaves that these well
renowed divas would perform to.

The males were as egotistical as the females.
Keeping there personalities separate from doing
there work. From negation to a successful negotiation, I had agreed to keep separate male and
female, due to past histories. The Fach and Baryton -Martin were lovers who couldn't define either engagement or Betrothalment, due to other people's
lack of interest.

Disconsonance and a lack of involvement had us worried that we were spending to much time on the lyrical side when the sound needed to be made perfect . The Ostinato needed work and our conductive-mastroistic positioning ,had found himself overly concerned  over watering down a successful product rather then soothing edges with better quality stylings and musicians that wish for successful interactions. 
 Trying to sound saged, someone spoke of people's commitment to success, caused a heated discussion about things that had nothing to do with our togetherness.Til completion might we be professionals!

Pancake Key
Devine love is not unconditional: but is recipacal:
fortune and fame are viewed as a blessing, not as a
random twist of fate
Neither of personal  worth annd devine favor
for wealth to lead to complacency and hubri
that weath is not condemned but maybe a personal trap.
wealth and love are fine when pursued with ethical
 integrity.
