Instrument 

Play it 
Play the tune 
Doesn't it take you, to the moon 
Imagine me a flute 
Play the note 
It sends you to a space 
Where do you want to float

Winter Sonata - POTD

Winter Sonata 11-29-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter Sonata

In grave allegro solo grey gathers,
Strings of winter fantasias
Brewing staccatos of frozen fall remnants,
Downbeats for the first movement
As shivering sleet wipes away bucolic barcarolles
Rocking on sapphire barges,
Harbingers of hoarfrost and hibernation,
When leafless...

between us all, we are still never here --
and then I move and your whole world

Let the Voices Sing, Let the Praise Begin

As I sit in front of the piano
I miderocricy created a tune
And to the holy on
For He's is the only one
The Holy one  the angel sings a song

Let the voices sing;
Let the voices sing,...

Moments Into Memories

Trinkets sparkling in the crisp night air.
Begging watchers' eyes feast on heavenly fare.

All is quiet, save soft symphonies of leg and wing.
Nocturnal notes, chittering.

Moisture from the stormy evening,
blankets all in tears, gleaming.
Diamonds dropping, splashing, 
Percussions...

Temptation's Touch

TEMPTATION'S TOUCH
-----------------------------
His palm soothes the ridges
Furrowed in her starlight skin
Her masseur, he replenishes
Each and every aching extremity
The chiming bells of his strokes
Ring again and again
Summoning her to his lair
Collaged in deep affinity
Her rock solid attraction
Draws...

Maestro

Composed, he walks towards the podium.
At first to applause, until a hush forms.
His heart beats like a water pump,
sweat drips - eyes fixed at his ensemble.
Audience anticipates,
as he stands at the nexus of musical creations.
With...

Piece of Me

I can still feel the weight of the heat colliding with my face as I first stepped off the plane, 
And how beads of sweat would tickle my neck the same as when it rained,
How...

A New Celebration

Interst he found it hard to stay
interested, probably due to his
lack of relating to the subject matter.
Things I had never seen

From the Clarinet

Late November,
and lonely resonance of harmattan
salutes this solitude.
A weaverbird's contralto, in one
gale-sweep, lays bare the lower balustrade
of a maisonette,
and the romance of the last seasons
shoots the long throat of the clarinet...

O'classicals, on wings
ye come;
leaf cusps...

With Coral Eyes

When you struck me,i vibrated like a kettle drum
then as smaller percussions and repercussions
echoing from all the glassy surfaces
creating a balletic geometry of sound tracks
in space and time.

When you knocked me down,
I fell against her...

Self Talk

Today is the day
To get things done
Come on girl
I know you have it in you
Roll your sleeves up
There's dishes to be washed
And laundry to be spun
There's checks to be written
And groceries to be picked up
Your...

The Djembe

My silence is as loud as the Djembe 
Calling on people to gather together in peace
My silence is as loud as the African drum
A skilled drummer is one who can make the Djembe talk

A Night In the Swamp

Alligators never blink
Bewitching their prey with stares
Creatures submerged in the night
Deep divers holding their breath
Easily hiding away
Fearing their discovery
Generations have wrestled
Hesitant charms and potions 
Investigating danger
Joking and trying to calm
Killing them before they kill
Left in...

Symphony of the Devil

Symphony of the Devil
(and yes I do play with fire 
on a number of levels... hehehe)


Drums of despair
Beating my will...
My Surrendered soul
Bleeding unrepaired

Horns of dissention
Devouring their fill…
My Surrendered soul
Painful comprehension

Strings of consternation
Branding their way
My Surrendered...

A Fortress of Solitude

Heed close, Heed well,
As I on a poem dwell,
It ends not here,
But in the gateways of Hell

In sound mind I evade,
The inevitable work through man's spade,
Percussions and thunders our state invade,
And roar like a lion...

Art and Music Boxes

Hanging in my living room are trees
And a seagull, God's gifts living free.

The trees are Van Gogh, cut off is ear.
Starry, starry night I've seen. It's clear

He was an artist as are the musicians.
Guitars, pianos,...
