To the beat - rhythm and blues
Beauteous - the cleft notes with a fling
Birds are silently chirping in sync
Relentless - Prominent thou that they sing
It's a rendez-vous - awe in glamor of awe
Then thou the beauty of the bewilderment
The calling - silent whispering in key
Singing proud the voice screams a soprano
And the pride of the inner solemn soul flatters me
I see - still having some rhythm
And at times Beauteous be blues
Dawn - The breaking point at most
The significance of morning blunts the dews
And the glamor of the rendez- vous
In my precious mind - in my head
I glance and the calm of the soloist
Reckon whispers sweet nothings in me instead
Sing - Sing proud and that of out loud
The voice is heard within my aura indeed
My soul perplexed by the beauty of the chirp
Internally awakes me planting seed.
Free me from this bold transgression,
Random words without expression.
No clear thought from them unfolding,
I’d rather listen to a scolding.
My plead is this, if not profound,
Please mute thy instrument of its sound.
For better yet it’d surely be,
If some message the reader could not see.
Please add some rhyme, or at least a rhythm,
Expound on something, begin with a given.
They say that the wind as it rustles the trees,
It’s only a wind ‘til one calls it a breeze.
Chaos will come with no rhyme or reason,
To thy own words be true, no need for treason.
No rhyme or reason just jotting words down
could I put them together for a thought profound
Sometimes it all comes together
sometimes not
Read and read them over
nothing close to plot
Crumple the paper toss in the trash
think it over possible to rehash
Out of the trash smooth to read
wrinkled words mocking me
Then eureka how could I not see
just let them flow and speak to me
No rhyme or reason does it need to be
just random thoughts flow into poetry.
No rhyme or reason, this prolific verse
Comes flooding forth, least none can be explained
By blows to head, nor tumor sprouted, worse,
No courses in linguistics entertained.
Commencing with a rather simple dare
To cut the snark, to soften it with rhyme,
Yet in the midst, longing discovered there,
With lilting phrase, to scale the sweet sublime.
The recent shift in target audience,
to Bible tales for precious progeny,
Left higher forms arrested in suspense,
And made it crystal clear for eyes to see;
Though unbeknownst, forsythian sprang the muse,
Of late, I fear I channel Doctor Seuss.
----------
I think this was one of my first, back in '15 or so... At this point, I have no idea where 'forsythian' comes from, other than it is a prolific, flowering plant possessed of the proper number of syllables, lol.
There is no rhyme or reason to what is happening in the Zodiac.
I understand the confusion, having orchestrated the flex myself
Many astrological signs are irritated and consternated, annoyed even.
They are not air signs, so do not understand the full beauty
Of shaking things, up and dancing naked in the moon for no reason
There is a levity waking up the cancers, who are the most irritated
Leos try to take over, wanting things to be changed their way
Virgos are horrified, being ardent rule-followers
Taurus tries to bully everyone, which makes the Aquarians laugh.
Other signs come by to visit but do not stay, being more passive and fearful.
You will never have me again
I trusted when you held me
I felt connected when looking into your eyes.
There are some things that should never be
all thoses tears fall from the lies.
You will have to live with what you did
if the bones in you care for me at all
my heart was priority I thought
but you made me a joke afterall
Everything I believed in you was a lie
fighting is what you thrive from
my love was never to be alive
as I was clawing up from the bottom
I hate you.
You have made me see who you are
weak inside a tree of a shell
never to defend me, or love me out loud
a ghost, a secret and shadow is all I was
betrayal was all I found
my life with you of mistrust
I am done with you.
There is no rhyme or reason
Why that day you had to die
It was that cold winter season
When you got your wings to fly
You are up high where the Angels live
Where passed loved ones have flown before you
Though you still had much love to give
You left me alone and feeling blue
Missing you more as each day passes
Time not easing this grief
I now see through eyes covered with dark glasses
Will my heart ever find relief
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Suddenly someone makes this life so bright
Sweet, enchanted melodies you hear, it seems
Eyes shine with so many desires and dreams
I felt the same the moment I saw you
For eternity I wanna be only with you
Once again your thoughts run through my mind
Wonder if you would love me too in this life time?
Dreams for future my eyes see
Every where love is now around me
With your memories, my heart is filled completely
Your words on these papers never let me be lonely
In the middle of the night, I sometime used to think
For you, I’d do this and that and million other things
What is it? Love or just an infatuation
I have no answer to this puzzling question
Even today when I am ready to move on
Your love is in my heart so strong
My love will never need any rhyme or reason
It will be there for you like a faithful companion.
