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 a brief glance - nods and closes his eyes,
baton in hand and a flick of wrist,
an oboe penetrates the silence,
violins trill and bass begin to roar.
His empathy connects with each note,
as his wand moves to the tempo,
conjuring symphonic magic,
softly then dramatically, 
as emotions ebb and flow,
like waves weaving solo tones.

Spectators lost in imagination.
Gradually the melody flows faster,
as trumpets and trombones blow.
He feels a sharp pain in his chest,
as his pores drip like little rivers on his lips,
but he still guides the harmonic mood
with precision and clarity.

As the horns blare and percussions echo,
he loses grip of his baton - falls onto his knees,
clutching his breast - the music stops,
pianist plays her last key - audience gasp

he falls to the ground - curtains close.

Emergence

Amy Lee's long, dark hair was worn like velvet shadow. She wore a dress of lantern grey, blue and green as she approached the lantern and the microphone panel.
She inhaled and breathed like fire of all the refreshed repression she had been administered. Halloween? Heh. Life!
Her thoughts were of that nature that her idols of darkness would one day rape her belly naked of its jubilant features of virgin antiques. And with that, does she linger? No, she trembles a bellowing roaring cry of "My Heart is Broken" and "Wake Me Up Inside", for she was now Evanescence, something more than a god....! A goddess of light, imagining. 
Can this be a whisper? Can this be a whisper in the depths of Hades, neath her befriended Afterlife?
No. It is a warning; a message. Thou shall not be caught...DEAD...without...percussions.
Thou shall NOT be my witness, my maker, my sleeper, my undeserved bringer to me to Life.
This Hades Pluto, tempting her in her life, her wake, and in her dreams. 
Bring ME to Life, Your Reaper, Charon--Fate--
For WE are VIR-GUNS, too!

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 and petal ears —
classicals, swearing oaths of
mellifluous assembly...

Calm rhythms hasten to the
ears of Beethoven —
summon him for a serenade,
lest the dark shelter of a
decrepit day strips this solitude.

Anodyne hisses among
this hidden threshold,
curing and healing the weakness of
Clepoatra's hair, dampened with
the venom of haters of vanity.

Classicals,
rid us now of this grief of mundane
dances...
Even in death, Stravinsky hails solitude
on notes of the keys.

From the clarinet,
the bimetallism of barter —
the platitude of life and death
(symbiosis of percussions)
epitaph to the aftermath of
inveterate tradition —
now and forever...

And the clarinet looms.

Premium Member 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, let them sing, let them sing
Let the voices sing
Lets let the praise begin

As I stand before the Lord;
Holding my hands on this guitar
I strum a tune
I praise you all day and all night long
So I strum..

Let the voices sing
Let the voices sing, let them sing, let them sing
Let the voices sing
Lets let the praise begin

I strum a tune, I praise you loud
I praise you Lord, I praise you Lord
Continually my voice, my voice this is my choice
Shall shout out hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let the voices sing;
Let the praises begin
By and by forever and ever
Let the voices sing
Let the voices sing, let them sing, let them sing
Let the voices sing
Lets let the praise begin

Let the bells ring, let the percussions beat loud the drums
Lift those voices high we have overcome, overcome;
Let the voices sing;
Let the praises begin
By and by forever and ever
Let the voices sing
Let the voices sing, let them sing, let them sing
Let the voices sing
Lets let the praise begin

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
words that didn't relate to the subject matter

" love what do it look like
and what does it want me to see"
" concern for all people
who has such concern for me"

What is love that you wish that of me
what is the conflict when i ask if
you love me?

than in retrospect one must ask one's self
Love detail's what: especially when
you have someone else.
Than that love is unseen but felt
it involves things in return?
No the voice inside of me say's
Love often involves no return.

I love you Groovey Sounding Orchestra Song
that makes people jump from there seats
I love you Orchestra grooving song
That makes people dance to the beat

your Percussions and strings
when they "Whoomp" with the horns 
Description of the strings
they are created and formed
groovin'- groovin' yeah
that's the one!
I love you something song
those lyrics are right on!

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 
In silence I cry out but my voice reaches no one
Though skilled this drummer can’t make the Djembe cry
No matter how hard he beats the drum he can’t make the Djembe cry 
And my voice is cracking with a painful cry 
In silence I cry out but no one hears my cry 
My pulses are percussions, I feel the vibrations of their sound waves 
I play them harder hoping these vibrations would cause an earth quake 
Though the earth shakes no one questions the reason why 		
In my silence I move the world but no one seems to notice 
My silence is as loud as the African drum

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 building, circling.

The chorus nears ending,
night's creatures settling.
What was twinkling and bright gives way.

Dawn brims the horizon, swelling.
A crimson kiss, placed with loving,
upon cheeks of clouds.
Longing, awaiting

Wondrous, her canvas.
A magnificence not to miss.
The warmth of her gaze comes.
Darkness dismissed.

All is anew in our turning
Light's creator soars high, burning.
Her goal set on day's presenting.

Before the world wakes and scurries,
I wish to enjoy this spectacle with you, my love.
Whose beauty is rivaled, only,
by the blood-soaked skies above

As sunrise adorns with golden beams of healing,
Your brilliant aura astounding all witnessing.
Without doubt, they must behold you—truly,
The art of a master's finest working

Simple are some of life's most precious gifts:
Moments made into memories, never forgotten,
Forever etched upon my soul and into my heart, a carving

Premium Member 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 the harsh odor of the atmosphere would nauseate my nose,
And the courage of a people despite our impose,

I hear the splashing of the Tigris as I kneel to rinse my hands,
And how it felt to think that nothing’s promised, even on promised lands,
From wailing sirens and the buzz of the Phalanx at night,
To the popping of shots and the whooshing of helos in flight,

From the honking of horns and roads without lanes,
To swishing through traffic and the jingling of chains,
I hear the whispers of prayer being broadcast through the air,
And the murmurs of locals and their unwelcomed stares,

To the thuds of percussions from bombs in my chest,
Detonated afar but still rattled my vest,
But of all that I remember, I’m fully aware,
That I've left a piece of me there.

Swaying

"seen" is through notation
more apparent to our senses
more palpable through
 physical sensations. 
cog rattle the percussions instrument
a modern take on sound
what inspires might to
create
the invention of
make music visible
visually represent music
attempt to visualize sound waves
in the village of Blatten, was the Birch Glacier
the debris of the crumbled Birch caused the
Lornez to flood
a prolonged period of an elevated mood
they seemed unmoved even through the differences
seasonal effective disorder
I heard one say it was more a 
amusia, musical anhedonia
They refused to allow them
 to narrate there condition
 nds of music shall please hte senses
where happiness can allow the moods
can mend the minds where folk
"can again construct on Gods land"
spoke a fella near the situation
structure and stabilty
the notes shall make sounds
visible sounds
"what a sight to see"

Globi and Hanswurst in Swisserland
Inverse Kinematics
swaying to the sounds of music

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 and her and her;
we were like a row of skittles
and we all went down with the lifeboat;
the infinite chain of being is.

When you hit me,the Fall spread across the world
Now there is no Vertical
All is undivine and graceless.
By the Rod it's ruled

When you left me,I left myself,the world,the rocks,dry land
I weighed down sank to the ocean bed
with coral eyes
gazing.

When you struck my mind
I became an instrument of a foreign power
Singing a song I didn't kmow.

When the glass was smashed
the splinters flew into all our hearts.
You didn't know what we couldn't see.

I lay on barren ground and gave birth
To my own Creator in the desert.
He was not dead at all.
But you killed him.
