Long Soundtracks Poems

You made up a wondrous, precious melody inside me
If I was sober and less numb, I would’ve felt it, baby
Sick with that same ol' love flu, you know?
But, this love flu isn’t contagious or for...

Maude’s Last Stand 

(Rage, Rage, Rage against the dying of the light - Dylan Thomas ) 

They put me on the second floor
Now uniforms pass by my door
Starched and stiff they bristle by
Sometimes I’ll catch...

Chromatic
Voglio chetu sia mio
Ibi locutus sum
J 'espere que je ne le
regretterai pas
Na ia jeg takkle meg
selv
Daar is geen skeuring 
tussen jou en my nie
Es un honored haberna

Great transitions became part of human experience
after we gave up on daily nomad lifestyle,
perhaps too bohemian
to have ever actually existed
out of nutritional nurturing choice

As contrasted with necessity
of drought,
floods,
pestilence,
famine,
chronic wars,
climatic absence of healthy peace.

Great transitions
are choices,

Freedom foremost, and the will to fight
to keep and protect our natural rights.
Nightclubs, jello shots, disco balls
mechanical bulls, beers cold and tall!
Baseball, football, and basketball games,
crazy rodeo riders on horses untamed.
Books by the millions, more...

A swinging sixties chick was I dressed head to toe in Biba
Miniskirts my mother loathed and free love too, so I was told
Music of choice was Motown and Soul that played upon my radio
At weekends...

at 16 he was in a hardcore
band, the vocalist who
screamed a lot & often
shouted---
a neighboring community 
college was offering singing

When you are not present I am
A fragile glass rose,
Deformed by cracks
From the wind’s careless handling,
Precarious 
And about to fall.

Suddenly  you appear out of nowhere,
An innocent child saving his dear mother’s
Cheap chinaware.

And with your...

A silver brick, or maybe plastic bright, 
The Walkman held our worlds in pure delight. 
With headphones perched, a personal domain, 
Where music flowed, escaping every chain.

A cassette nestled with a gentle click, 
Our chosen...

What a darkness it is,
that as the planets rotate miracles
with cosmic power bestowed,
The Fall of Lightbringer
deadens the bleeding branches in Spring
as a requiem masked by your skin
paints onto the sun in a cloudless sky
The Stranger.

Mike drop!

Just because the thought you have ran into overtime
You don't have to play as if rhymes do not rhyme
Thrill without skills
Techniques with out beats
Beds pulled down access with out sheets
Beat hold up repeats
Devastated as...

How I wished, free flow of wheels
No words to tell , "how it feels".
When vehicles swish
Well, well, well!
This is what I relish.

How I missed, the rumble and rush
Noisy Wide tyres! are my first crush
Fizzing of...

There’s children growing up that believe the stars
sound like crickets chirping,
for their only exposure to these sources of wonder
are through over-exposure to blue light and radio waves
and soundtracks overlaying simulations.
The night they know
is bright as...

Pursuing a solo career turned out to be a great choice.
Laura was gifted with a strong alto voice.
From upstate New York, this fine lady came.

There's so much I want to tell you,
yet I can't seem to spit out the words,
you come and go like I walk away
and then you bury me in the dirt.
Reminiscing on those nights,
our sleepless talks-

A frequenter of concert square
A consumer of ecstasy 
Thus was how I begot my teenage kicks
A cocktail mix of pills and beer
On a Saturday night 
Bound for club
To dance away
Human traffic
Writhing to the soundtracks of...

the soundtracks of my youth ramble
through the back alleys of my mind
bygone feelings in a scramble 
stirring old childhood memories

cerebral meanderings in kind
thrust my heart into a shamble 
dulcet escape from daily grind

old melodies as...

I discard the other
And everything he believed
I whisper wrath, continue to laugh
I’ll never be deceived

A wakeful statue
A devil of my own
I reflect my lies, steal their eyes
So my face is never shown

I dream a reason

By duskfall, I cruise with the sky, 
throwing life’s pebbles unto ripples
of yearning… and she lifts her veil against
the moist air fondling the blue of night

unto my pale meadow…she whispers
before an interlude, refreshing my senses;

Once upon a time ago,
An act of marriage was made so.
Film and sound both intertwined
And made a movie when combined.
At first, colour was not in sight...
Merely greys of black-and-white.
Ceremonies made in silence
Without gratuitous sex or...

Mother tongue held in such high regard, not only words, tone is known.

Beating chests signal the end, well maybe in the mind of the ignorant.  

Broken glass, and sweeping rubble make for the coldest...

If it was not for words
there'd be no poetry.
Can a veiled muse survive,
unable to release
poems that make us thrive?

If it was not for words.
Can we cope being mute
when hearts have to suppress
reasons behind sorrows,
teardrops cannot...
