Long Harmonise Poems

“Only from the Heart”



Only from the heart
can you touch 
your Blue Sky

poems -
short sentences,
sometimes long

why do we write?
only the shadow inside
knows why we harmonise

contrasting dark and light
some verses like 
ancient parables
 
in dusty tomes

Music and romance are camarilla comrades,
just like poems are my shield and arrows.
But not all lullabies of lovers,
harmonise like a street choir of angels.
If love resembles the weather,
then poetry is like a snowflake.
Its fragile abstract...

Spare the noose - let one live!

Just moments and life's gone,
for the lives one hack
and for it never to come back!
Isn't justice flawed with 'glee' to adorn?

The noose has a strong say
and so do the...

paint me a face,
paint me one so blue that I can barely laugh or coo,
paint me till the colour of my skin no more exist,
but all you see is the gloom, 
 peering in sympathy...

Every song has a story under our big sun
Our song we sing forevermore from since a note begun

Let us roar from our core, powerful with might
Mighty might with delight for others to unite

Singing songs in...

Buttercups are dancing to singing daffodils
King Neptune, with his trident, is surfing down a hill
Rabbits playing hopscotch with rainbow coloured frogs
Snails with sparkly spinning shells slither along gold logs.

Wolves in sheep's clothing are bleating nonstop,
Four...

In years to come it might be said,
‘I never realised this is where it led,
It just crept up, I just went with the flow 
Nobody told me how things would go’.

Nobody explained what I took...

Poetic Licence

I've been granted my Poetic Licence,
Which allows me to write as I find.
Exaggeration here, embellishment there,
A free spirited open mind.

With vivid inspired imagination,
I see clearly the world around me,
Never letting the truth spoil a...

HEADSTONE SONG

May my gifts spread across the Blue-Green 
Globe when I return to Sky
May my smile ripple in your open hearts
When I dance on an orange horizon 
May my healings remain remembered 
Balms and my...

I used to sing on the school bus, 
Harmonise and everything, full blast, 
Most of the others had strong voices, 
And I would wish mine was cast. 

Geoff the driver would put Radio Forth on,...

Woke up to no sun
it was just the darkness of dawn
on my own in a world I had created
birthed by my own thoughts
characterized by the sum of my fears and desires
through the manifestation of my...

Tim Remembers

Tim is a member of the club of life
	        with all its nonsense vagaries and beauty
pitfalls up-shoots conflicts contradictions

Dismembered or conjoined he has a choice

Dream catchers chime in the wind,
like soft tones of a xylophone.
Melodic melancholic rain,
is free flowing,
but morning birds still arrive,
sitting on wet window sills,
singing about their desires.

In daffodil daydreams,
the breeze resonates like a flutist,
gently swaying bluebells...

Speak the truth with intent to be helpful
Praise more, criticise less, with smile beautiful 
Reach out often, rekindling past moments colourful
Empathise without attempting to weigh or size
Accept loving gestures in childlike surprise
Desist from declaring we...

Still solitary and Alone 
  But glimpsed I

Took me thru Love's fierce triple flame

A dense fog envelopes the valley today
The scene seems supernatural, 
straight out of a fairy tale
Even as Nature's song plays out... 

A light breeze brushes the bushes
and rows of roses regale with their refrains, 
Lilies...

A long needed break


Away from the crowd,
somewhere above the cloud,
where only peace prevails,
Where I can shout aloud,
I wanna go.
 

Tranquillity within I require,
to blow off the burning fire ,
where no existence exists,
to censure, the task...

A brand new day in my home town dawns
When innovative ideas imbued with empathy strengthen bones
To afford the vulnerable occasions to fete
Events in rents, scents and tents that uplift their fate. 

A brand new day...

The day that will rise tomorrow,
In happiness, misery or sorrow.
With the whispers of faith may I face it with courage!
Either in peace, pain, shock or rage!
Be as quiet as a sea rock:
As merry as a...

What makes a poet?

I might be curious how the world function, but in that case
it is better to be a scientist or a cook, don’t underestimate,
when alone in the kitchen while the broth brew he...

I 
had 
realised
that 
the 
size
of 
the 
ice
was 
nice,
but 
the 
price
didn't 
recognise
my 
sacrifice.

So,i 
had 
to 
compromise
the 
ice
for 
some 
rice;
to 
minimise.

But 
some 
spies
came 
to 
join 
Me 
In 
my
 rice;
promising 
to 
buy 
some 
ice
after 
the 
rice.
But 
In 
Their...

The vibrant colours of a Venice day
Are muted now, and drained to sombre grey,
As huddled shades of countless long past years,
Sharing their tears and ever constant fears,
Silent, intangible, diffused, now roam,
In tones of dank, primeval...

Ferdinand the frog was as mute as a swan
as his friends hopped to school one by one 
he would sit on the rocks and silently cry
as the rest of the frogs sang a sweet lullaby

I want to write a happy song.
A catchy song that's not too long.
A song like Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
Zip-a-Dee-Day.
Uncle Remus sang long ago in his day.

I have the urge to write something that will cheer.
Most things in the...

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.

Ecclesiastes 7:10
