*************
Close your eyes—
let the music find your feet,
let every heartbeat be a drum beneath the street.
No need for light when rhythm knows the way;
the night has learned the language of your sway.
Reach for the sound—
let it circle, let it rise,
feel the thunder blooming softly in your hands.
You are not lost;
you are the motion in the song,
and every step says: I belong.
I play what those-in-the-know
want you to hear
On my drum-and-fife
I tap out the stars-and-stripes
I’m the paid piper
Yes, I’m the paid piper
(Can be sung to the music “Trees,”
Lyrics, Joyce Kilmer)
I thought that I would never see
a bicycle to ride with three!
Back in the forties, I was pressed
to get on board and meet the test.
With mom and dad, one sunny day,
we took a ride on it for play!
The three of us in summerwear
and a warm breeze blowing our hair!
Six legs, as one, spun round and round,
as rubber tires whirled on the ground.
Oh, what a fun and happy time!
Our bicycle for three- sublime!
If only new words
Fresh minted
In the mind of God
Would rise up now
To help describe
Music light love
Aura that surrounds
Silent in my mind
This angel light
Far away so near
Lighting my life
Never-ending
Warmest love
I’d sing a song
To make angels weep
With the joy of you
For now, beloved,
Creaking dour English
Must suffice to serve
A mission far beyond
Words and sounds
Christopher M. Swan 2011
I woke in a cheer toned embrace.
Enthused by the bubbly hold,
I wished to spread its hugging sound.
Joyful feel emotively
played jolly, jingling, jangling notes
on a gleeful tambourine.
Why is it you hide?
Anonymous popster pride,
Neutral of game plus private shame
A flame eternal
None shall extinguish—
A fire reborn from ash
Who is Bez Boi?
A private prince
His hoodie of chintz
Lyrics; blends of cherry mince
Fans wishing for a glimpse of—
The Banksy of Reggaeton
~ From "The Sound of Music" ~
Roaches on rye bread
with spiders and fixings
Vomit plus cream cheese
blending and mixing
Dogmeat and monkey
Plus dark raven wings
These are a few of
her favorite things
When the skunk farts
When the bear fights
When the wasp bites
and --- WHEN the bee stings
These are a few of her favorite things
JUST A FEW ~ of her favorite things!
I sing your songs to this day
and get excited when your songs play
You died tragically and too young
A songwriting hero that was unsung
Your gritty voice I recognize well
and I still fall under your music's spell
You were an amazing Christian Artist
who talked about Christ first
You are missed and new artists love
recording your works because they fit like a glove
Like time has not passed at all when life spins on a dime
Because you are the greatest of all time

I found a bone
By the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream
By the old canal
I gnawed that bone
By the factory wall
Dirty old bone

As I live, I like to learn
and learning's fun for me
Music, science, Physic's
Math and History
Art and Language Are most fun
I love Geography
But lately some new subjects
Have really challenged me
Looking at my cell phone
I have just one more wish
That in time I could find
A way to speak Spam-ish
Chorus
I really am sorry and I don't mean to be rude
But until I learn this language,
There's only one thing I can do
I know it's not very nice
And surely that is true
Cause it seems I have no other choice
I'm hanging up on you
Looking at my cell phone
I have just one more wish
That in time I could find
A way to speak Spam-ish
~ To the Tune of 'One More Night'
by Phil Collins ~
One more write, I gotta do just
one more write, there’s gotta be
just one more write
left in good old me tonight
Babe, without you I’m so lonely
but what moves me now is only
One more write, I gotta do just
one more write, for you and me tonight
RIGHT BEFORE THE DAWN-
Right before the Dawn
We arrived awaken
In consciousness
Something from our slumber
Just before the dawn
We would walk hand in hand
Arm to arm praising in
God, Hallelujah
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond, the stars
The stars
Right before the dawn
We would arise up
Reach up beyond the stars, the stars
