Inspired by the Black Cat Moan song of Glenn Hughes
Like a black cat moaning,
I long for my home,
for once I get back there,
never again shall I roam.
My sun is going down
down down to the ground.
Sky is illuminated
and I sit without a sound.
I look at that sun
and sky the crimson of
the blood of my sweet Jesus,
yearning for His love.
I’m moaning on the inside,
but I’m not afraid to die.
I want to bathe in light divine.
May I vanish into sky!
I need to slide behind yon hill
with the sun that had me awed.
Sun, though you sustain all life,
you shine not as bright as my God.
Inspired by Glenn Hughes song "No StrangerTo Love"
The sparkling dawn lights up
my heart’s ebony horizon,
spreads the sunburst colors of yearning
in the fervent garden,
blooming with my love,
swathes the facsimile of your floral face.
In the valley of my mind,
contoured by desire,
I carve the channel
of longing to reach you.
The fervid cloud of craving
melts in a compelling torrent,
makes my limitless love
a cascading river where I swim.
Suffused with the diffused drizzle
of my love in tarnished twilight,
you disappear out of my sight
beyond the garden of blooming delight.
Your footsteps trample my emotive flower,
its crumbled petals make a wreath
for my broken heart.
I collect the shards of my life,
strewn behind the door I’ve crossed,
with love enfolding the slices of heart.
I want to tell you,
my dusty guitar gently weeps
the tune of my melancholic passion,
I hope it will reach you.
Losing the remains of longing
in the debris of my broken heart,
I saunter with sullen feeling
to the silent shore of sorrow.
My emotions swirl unbound
like the dislodged rolling sand
in the tide of remote time.
On the sighing sea of despair,
made of billion drops of tear,
descends the somber shadow
of the nostalgic night’s slate sky,
split asunder by the cobalt cold flash
of the tormenting thunder,
fading in my memory
in the horizon of oblivion.
I live now only to seek you,
for I walk alone in the wasteland.
You’ll take me to the blooming valley,
my longing will turn into flower for you.
Our future will be tinged by its hue,
my love will evermore embrace the spring time.
(Inspired by Glenn Hudges song " Shake The Ground")
I look out for you in emptiness day and night
for a long while you’re out of my sight
my heart throbs with the tune of yearning pure
my essence embraces your graceful allure
Your attracting footprints have faded, but I follow
to the fervent destination of desire I know
where with the ardor of my love I envelop you
to turn into burning ember of craving anew.
I feel I’ve plunged into fathomless void wary
while the broken sky falls around me
but I see your charisma the new sun rays bring
make for me the colorful collage of longing.
In the sunburst horizon drenched by hued shower
dreamy dawn blossoms like the spring flower
the golden aura makes the diamond dew glow
that flashes like your smile in my meadow.
I’m submerged in your love, I want to tell you
I float on cloud nine, you’ve no clue
I’m not tired of wandering in wasteland so long
your love for me is forever, don’t get me wrong.
When I look at the depth of your eyes
my heart pulsates with a new rhythm I surmise
my soul absorbs the spirit of sincerity
saturates my senses with the feeling of ecstasy.

******************
When the night gathers myriad faces,
and ghost syllables trouble spirit,
remember firs sift darkness,
while moss mantles every stone.
Though your mind maps
fractured constellations,
moon follows milky white tones;
no mist mars its silver throne,
no sorrow seals the inner spring.
Some voices flourish in darkness,
some forge kingdoms from smoke,
yet forests speak older syntax:
fern hymns breathe under twigs,
owls pour solemn vows.
Hear streams smooth stubborn shale,
fox footsteps fade into silence,
folded fields await dawn's fire,
dawn unspools from frost to fire.
So do not war with thoughts,
not every echo is worthy of belief.
some leaves simply answer fall,
some rain rehearses mercy call.
May silence find you moss-warm,
shelter rather than bare halls
may feel soft and silky as you sleep
under aromatic mist veils, deep.
Beneath the fractured welkin,
your spirit guards its spring;
no winter masters rooted things,
no darkness drowns inward morning.
When nameless forms surround you,
let dawn answer with song through;
let courage rise through tremors,
and name what survives within.
Even beneath heaviest haze,
when sleep feels like betrayal,
when cyanide tunes turn inward
snakes were always scorched
became roots beneath your feet.
Their winding shadows hold you,
their darkened coils became anchors,
and fear learned how to root—
the roots that hold you f i r m.
~Glenn Miller~
(acrostic)
G-lenn Miller, his music is so wonderfully sublime, enchanting.
L-istening to his "Moonlight Serenade" makes me think of love so tender.
E-ndless joy, in my heart, his music always brings to me. His given
N-ame was, Alton Glenn Miller. He was born in Clarinda, Iowa, U.S.
N-otoriously, performed the trombone.His Glenn Miller Orchestra is divine.
M-usician, arranger, composer, and great band leader in the swing era.
I-n The Mood", is onother one of my favorite music pieces of his to this day.
L-ittle Brown Jug" "American Patrol" "Tuxedo Junction" and so many more, his
L-egacy is filled of of so much dancing and romance under a moonlit and stars.
E-ntertaining the troops was something very close to his heart. Glenn Miller,
R-emains one of the most famous and recognizable names of the big band era.

Author's notes:
My humble poem tribute to one of the greatest and most
unique bandleaders of the big band era, Glenn Miller.
One of my very favorite band leaders I personally
love and enjoy hearing the most.I listen to his music
for many years now.And I believe that theres no one like him,
his music can never be duplicated by anyone.
His beautiful music just transcends time and space, forever.
(Born March 1, 1904- Missing December 15,1944)
Years active 1923-1944
In 2003 Miller, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
His plane dissapeared while flying over the English Channel.
His remains and that of his crew has never been found.
Miller's status is missing in action up to this date.
Long live the King of Swing!
The contests started slowly
all in appreciation of Glenn Hughes
Only a few would enter
using inspired words so eloquently
But in due time the Glenn Hughes contests
caught on fire
and everyone was scrambling to enter
The contests filled up so quickly
I as judge had to breathe deeply
to concentrate
It came a time I didn’t have to remind people…
“Remember, we all love Glenn”
And then came the blogs
detailing the excitement of the chase
But people would cry
if they didn’t get first place
as the trophy was designated
for only the best Glenn Hughes inspired poem
Now if you have gotten this far in the poem
you may be asking yourself
What the heck did I just read?!?
You read Love for Glenn
The Voice of Rock
and about the poems and contests that support him
So without further ado
if you haven’t already
find a Glenn Hughes song that inspires you
and enter the latest contest
YouTube awaits you and maybe just maybe
Glenn will be watching
“Music is the healer” — Glenn Hughes
My one goal is to write more poems
inspired by Glenn Hughes songs
It could be new songs or ones I know
to touch more heart where they belong
A poem a day would be a nice goal
so soupers can enjoy the words spoke so loud
I write next to my blueberry bowl
and send the words out to the GH crowd
You can share this goal with me if you like
because everyone loves Glenn so much
if not just go take a hike
as we don’t need your crybaby fuss
So perhaps tonight I’ll begin my goal
just look at my poems and you’ll surely know
that I love Glenn like some people love gold
and I don’t think I’m being too bold
(Inspirational Glenn Hughes song : When I Fall (Album Resonate)
In my abode of desire
I have hope to rest
My heart full of longing
Pulsates love within my chest
I have promise to keep
It is hidden in my mind
I want to realize now
Before it flies away in wind
When I rise again
It will be the beginning
In the depth of depression
You find your life bleak
If you embrace my passion
You will be on joyful peak
When I rise again
It will be the beginning
I’ll try my best
I don’t want nothin’
Need to keep on risin’
Only you will be in my heart
Till the end of time when I depart
I know you will surely be mine
As long as in my sky stars shine
In nineteen sixty-three, May twenty-eight,
three youngsters in a Woolworths five-and-dime
sat down and asked for coffee. This was war.
In Jackson, Mississippi, way back when,
outrageous things like this riled up the pack.
The photos still exist. You feel the hate.
To ask for coffee, then, was such a crime,
so unacceptable to local law
that men (look at the photos – they’re all men)
could not restrain themselves. Attack, attack!
With ketchup, mustard, butter they went straight
to smear the interlopers with their slime:
what else are coffee-grounds and soda for?
The heroes (in the age of Colonel Glenn,
the Right Stuff mattered) took down from the rack
more gunge. These sons of the Magnolia State
poured vinegar in solemn pantomime
(one wiped molasses on the young man’s jaw).
What caused this ritual? This zoo-like zen?
The guests had the effrontery to be black.
Inspired by Glenn Hughes song “So much love to give”
The sparkling dawn lights up
My heart’s horizon of longing
Spreads the sunburst colors
On the fervent garden green
It blooms with my love’s flowers
The fragrance flies past your face
In the mind’s valley of desire
I’ve traced a trail to reach you
The fervent cloud of my craving
Melts in a torrent of emotion
Makes my limitless love for you
A cascading river where I swim
In the sparkling span of my sky
You glow like a slice of moon
I sink in the silken sea of its beam
When new sun rises in hued dawn
My desire is tinged with multi-colors
I paint the portrait of love for you
I live only to love you
As you walk with charisma
On silver soaked beach of the sea
The waves bring strings of pearl
On your ivory feet they curl
Make my love adorn you
An angel treading my dream trail
Face radiates through stardust veil
Your embrace takes me on a flight
My heart pulsates in rhythm of delight
I’ll carry my love to the end of time
For you to know
I live only to love you
