Short Allegro Poems

She, poetry has:
      the melody of the night,
      that's why it's seductive...
      The sweet chant of the day,
      that's why it's allegro festive...
      I have been listening carefully,
       I listen to her whenever
        she sings...!...

A leap ... jete
a turn ... fouette
in the drama dance
of ballet.
A pas and then
glissade again
choreographed
by the danseuse
in her slippers
steel toed.
Balanced on tarsi strong
beneath her stiff tulle tutu,
she vaults
in an allegro passage
to soar
and interpret the tale....

Bach Cantatas in a morning rise
Allegro adagio crescendo
Violin serenades on moon lit tides

Scared of you, lost in you
You make my heart shudder
Life is different with you

Trusting again is hard
My heart learning to sing
Slowly, you make me feel whole
Your symphony touches my soul...

the symphony of dawn
                  contrasts with idling
                  of the finale of the journey...
                  In the morning,
                  colorful flowers
                  in allegro they sing...
                  at dusk,
                  dying flowers,
                  in prelude they cry...!...

The gold and green draping
Shines on thee amazing
As thou dance allegro
It reminds my era
Difference between us
Half generation thus
Yet it’s understanding
And the bond withstanding
Blessing to be blessed
With twin kids greenly dressed
Thus, one will bear my name
The other has thy fame
Golden being their mien
And an emerald green..!...

Across great plains, in rich soil valleys
beneath breathtaking, bold painted skies
amber cobras dance on graceful stems
swaying to refrains of flowing rhapsodies

Mariah plays for them on a whimsical flute
whistling notes float along on wind songs

hypnotized by her gentle rhythmic breezes
they bend and dip in choreographed allegro...

Your presence
compels me smile
radiant
for all
the pores...!

My heart
for you it pulsates
in a contagious rhythm,
...constant allegro...!

My imagination
when it hears you,
tastes your
words with
special savor...

when i notice you
I light up
out and
inside...
I realize that
it's happiness...
 in most
charming way
that I conceive...!...

perfumed hair and velvet kisses
plum colored satin sheets
heart beats Allegro, as fingers dance
caresses slide, Andante, like silken 
scarves searching sin-flushed skin
eyes locked in silent urgency
upstairs in a distant world
surrender brought forth victory
while, downstairs, in a lace curtained room
a vinyl disk went round and round...

und Mozart spielt das klavier...

Under cracked ceilings and calloused hands
My pen does a waltz to invisible bands
A clever allegro and ink covers white
A lithe ballerina on premiere night

The bare floor is spattered 
With the pattering feet
Of my words wooing rhythm
'til the page is complete

Watch this step, read this twirl!
And with a tip of my pen
A new line is born in verse...
And again!...

Hold on, stand up, and enjoy the sound
Move in, jump off, just don't sit down
The floor gives way, rewind and replay
Listen to the drum that our love plays
An off-beat number at an allegro tempo
Tick-tock metronome, clock unstoppable
Sensations of vibes coming deep within
Rhythm integrates into my soul & blood
The waves cascading across my eardrums
Drowning my mind in some melodic flood...

Why were you afraid
of unknown ?
I am washing away
the whole truth in the vicinity
of discrepant nouns.
The words will articulate
the body overrun by rough
handling of the golden triangle.

The arrival does not stop
the allegro.
Claustrophilia enslaves you.
You start a new journey
towards a non-space and non-entity.
Was there anything beyond the naught.
I have come faraway.
Will not return to numbers.

Not long ago before
parting from me forever
more.
You sang to me a
beautiful song.
I loved the resonated
altos
of your strong
voice.

I listened intently
your non-wavering
allegro
tones.

Would have listened
capturing your
syllables
more careful.

Spilling forth
your beautiful song
you sang to me.
In minds-echoes
you sang me a
song today.

Tears swell and my
Eyes closed and
Held you close....

Winter has come
Allegro non molto plays out
And instantly, I am back to that day
Nebulous clouds of soft misty rain
Gently saturating my resolve
It has been a fortnight of misery
So I take pause as,
Adiago-Presto plays on
And the vanguard of my thoughts
Runs the amorphous path I have manufactured
Through the briar of thistle,
I struggle 
As Presto dissolves 
And another sun, sets...

Music And Love
The Allegro 
With its lively quickness 
Will accompany the young lovers
As they ride their bicycles
Along the winding country roads

The Adagio
With its tender seductive melody
Will accompany nascent Love
Sumptuous harmonies 
Will caress their heart 
As they embrace and kiss

The Vivace 
With its spirited vibrant momentum
Will take their passion 
On wings of love
To soar the azure sky
