i have moments when the words
are failing me
or they are lost in some dimension
the screen is white
wanting to dance in a black medley
that becomes a concerto
as attention wanders in a beginning
i feel your hands on my shoulder
i close my eyes in ecstasy's touch
a light touch of lips
to the head
the blackening begins racing
in other moments, i am in sweet labor
where memory dances me in a vortex
a rapture of your presence behind me
quiet as a church mouse absorbed in prayer
i pause before the leap forward
look up to the window
black in the night
gathering in what the world sees
in the window's reflection
they see a room where i sit alone
and i am in a moment of sadness
the world is denied by the Thomas
your loving presence
God would never leave me alone
where you meander in every atom
this room can hold
muses are a human construct
the veil is real
and it sometimes gives way
the sweet breath of love waiting
as hands light upon my shoulder
a kiss brushes the crown of my head
where myth evaporates into reality
neither the demons below
nor the angels above
can ever deny me my beloved Lenore
God would never leave me alone
the veil ceases in every thought of you
hands upon my shoulders
my head falls backward into your lips

"From the time you were very little, you had people who have smiled you into smiling. People who have talked you into talking. Sung you into singing. Loved you into loving." Mr. Rogers
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
from Celine Dion-The Power Of Love
Songwriters: Detmann Wolfgang, Applegate Mary Susan, Mende Gunther, Stern Heidi
When you came floating on my dream,
I saw a butterfly flitter in my garden,
and with strands of sunrise splendor
you weaved the tapestry of desire
to design the lattice of love
in me
to design the lattice of love.
And when you came dancing in summer rains,
I saw a fairy descend from the clouds
of my sky drizzling molten yearning.
You collected all the colors of rainbow,
painted the picture of lust
in me,
painted the picture of lust.
And when I took you in my arms,
I sensed the rapture made in heaven,
and it rippled in my heart
with the rhythm of ardor,
and reached the edge of eternity
in me,
and it reached the edge of eternity
in me.
When you came floating on
my dream
my dream
my dream
my dream.
(Followed the structure and cadence of the song " The first time ever
I saw your face" by Roberta Flack)

It is six minutes to midnight
I have been drinking Red Bull for three hours.
It usually inspires me.
Nutbush is going around in my head,
but it has been done.
By Tina too.
The deadline my songwriting partner gave me
is one a.m.
She knows that I have an avid belief that
my muse has her best ideas at night.
Especially from midnight to two
I eat a bag of Lay’s
Barbeque Potato Chips,
for ideas.
Crunchy. Scrunchy. Bunchy enter my head.
Too silly, even for me, even for 12:34 which it is now.
I call her and beg her to give me another hour
2 a.m. is what I was aiming for in the first place she says
Knowing me not half as well as my muse,
nonetheless knowing me.
It is now five minutes to 2.
Will she be mad if I call?
Especially if all I have is
Crunchy? as
I already threw out ‘scrunchy’ and ‘bunchy’.
I chuckle at myself, wondering if my muse
is asleep, or merely dead.
Changin' the weather
I've got sunshine on my mind
Yeah, changin' the weather
Baby, I've got you girl on my mind
Changin' the weather
Gotta get away from the storm outside
I wanted to call you up, darlin'
Just the other day
I couldn't find your number tho'
I thought it blown away
I'll face the wicked storm
I'll fight the hurricane
I have to get back to you, my love
Before I go insane
Chorus:
I know we fought the other day
And I said to you "Good-Bye"
But the minute I turned my back on you
There were tear drops in my eye
I love you babe, and you know that
You are my only heart
So what do you say, we get back together
And we make a brand new start
Gotta change the weather
Baby, I've got you girl on my mind
Yeah, gotta change the weather
Baby, I've got sunshine on my mind
Let's change the weather together, baby
Let's get away from that storm outside
I'll brave the wicked whirling winds
to the mountain top above
I'll brave the wild blowing rains
Just to be with you, my love
Churus:
I know we fought the other day
And you said to me "Good-Bye"
But I wondered, when you turned your back on me
Did you have tear drops in your eye
Did you want to call me up, darlin'
Just the other day
Or did you through my number out
And let it blow away
Do you still love me, baby doll
Am I still your only heart
I hope I know, you love me, so
Let's make a brand new start
Changin' the weather
I've got to get away from that storm outside
Changin' the weather
I've got sunshine on my mind
Changin' the weather, baby
I've got you, girl...on my mind

i am still at times, in shadows
watching you in the world
stealing glances
when the world has drawn you away
there is a beauty i can clearly see
when the picture is devoid of me
meeting for lunch
i step back from the canvas
pause in the servers' din
shelter behind the flora
drink in your essence
holding that moment
my life with you has been as such
like a glass of fine wine
the aging intensifies the allure
oh i know well why
you never let the magic perish
one of my greatest joys
i never had a clue
so i sit back and watch
as her magic unfolds before me
and for all of my sleuthing amidst shadows
i have been bested by a master
that silly smirk she wears so well
adore fails to grasp the fullness
my eyes behold a path
the bewitchment therein
where dwells the beautiful soul she is
poets know these things

The phrases “the eyes are the window to the soul” and “I can see it in your eyes” certainly sound poetic. Many singers, songwriters and writers have capitalized on it. But it turns out that the eyes really might be the windows to the soul.
Google the above and you will discover the Science poets knew millennials ago.
By the afternoon I was back-on-my-toes.
Almost every night my roommates and I sit around a low table in the common room of our suite, crossed legged, on cushions and do our homework. It’s less claustrophobic than sitting in our rooms alone and we usually have some music on, lowkey, in the background.
We’d just heard “Love Story,” by Taylor Swift.
“I like songs that make love sound easy.” I stated.
“Oh, because it IS easy,” Anna says sarcastically, “grab yourself a physicist and make a TikTok song.”
“Hey! I’ve got a beef with TikTok artists, I said. “At first, they release these stripped down, intimate, acoustic songs that feel personal, and then, if a song hits, they put out a new version that’s totally overproduced.”
“Right.” Leong agreed.
“Oh, yeah,” Sophie said, putting her hair back out of her face with a comb, “and some artists' voices are suited to simple accompaniment and the newer versions just don’t hit as hard.”
“I think Phoebe Bridgers is an example of production done right.” Anna said. “Her material continues to sound intimate and stripped down even though it’s no longer just her and a guitar,”
“On Tiktok,” Lisa adds, “when a new song works, I feel a connection, like it could be me recording a song with my guitar - so, I support them.”
“Don’t get me wrong,” I updogged, “there’s a place for overproduction but sometimes the instruments don’t even sound real, like when they go all out electronic - then they lose me.”
“The big-music might drown-out the artistry we liked,” Anna opined, “but maybe that’s how they heard it, as songwriters, in their imagination, but they couldn’t afford it - the new version rectifies it.”

back-on-my-toes = feeling back to normal / back in the game
updogg = when you add your two cents to an ongoing dialog.
As time passes by, your heart touching mine
Joy quivers deep down in my soul
Whispering inspiration, hope
Everything that knows
Love that is alive
Our love
Moments pass into days, days into years
Time brings us sweet memories
Writing a memoir of our dreams
Desires that have come true
Love that is unconditional
Gives fully, wholly
Emotions prick my conscious, so honest
Feelings that have taught me to believe
Coloring my world with passion
Vivid arrays of bold crimson
Dancing across my spirit
With loving opinions
Love that lives
Singing gently
Love that lives
So intently
As time passes by, I feel deeply
From my heart and soul
Passion so intensely
Feelings that thrill
Sensing
Love that lives
Sensing
Love that lives

“Your Life will be Filled with Magical Moments”
Now what more can be said except that anything is possible at any given moment. Probably the greatest example of something from nothing comes from the songwriters Galt Mac Dermot, Gerome Ragni and James Rado when they penned this fascinating ditty.
“Gliddy glup gloopy nibby nabby noopy la la la lo lo”
“Sabba sibby sabba nooby abba nabba le le lo lo”
“Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba”
“Early morning sing a song”
Yes, ‘Good Morning Starshine’ that light hearted pop song featured in ‘Hair’ (1967) rose to #3 on the US charts in July of 1969 and hit #6 in the United Kingdom in October. Over the decades, it has been covered by 16 different bands, performed live by top artists like Diana Ross and the Supremes, and featured in countless television shows, commercial ads and movies.
Proving that, with the right magical timing, even gibberish can leave the world ‘Feeling Groovy’ man. So, no matter how dumb people think your words are, they might make someone smile and that’s enough for me.
Don’t listen to them
they swore it could not be done
man will never fly
I always think of you on the first of May
Recalling the New York Mining Disaster
What a tragedy it ruined my holiday
For whom the bell tolls expressed the broadcaster
Recalling the New York Mining Disaster
Stayin Alive would have been a miracle
For whom the bell tolls expressed the broadcaster
Immortality? Guess I am cynical
Stayin Alive would have been a miracle
My secret love died that day; now I’m alone
Immortality? Guess I am cynical
If I can’t have you I don’t want to go home
My secret love died that day; now I’m alone
Such a heartbreaker! Forbidden love so right
If I can’t have you I don’t want to go home
You should be dancin’ right here with me tonight
Such a heartbreaker! Forbidden love so right
What a tragedy it ruined my holiday
You should be dancin’ right here with me tonight
I always think of you on the first of May
