Short Art Song Poems

dusty was the scale, under the bathroom sink
all it needed to work, were two bare feet
 and it would tell the tale 
 and tell the tale true 
a bit portly, bending over just to see...

I am not an artist,
to paint dreams on a canvas

    I am not a dancer,
twisting gracefully, a leaf in the breeze

    I am not a sculptor,
breathing life into clay

    I am a poet,
spinning letters into tears of the soul...

I want to be blown away,
I want to be swept off my feet.
I want to be the one who makes it hard for you to breath.
I want to be lost in love,
I want to be a dream come true.
I want to be scared of just how s t r o n g I feel for you....

Sequel to "Fire Dancers"

A ghost at the window of my brain
Working me in the realm of wrong 
I wish I could cry out for someone’s mercy
But Satan’s dancer only sings Satan’s song
I bathe in the fire and purify in the mud
I’m destined for Heaven but Hell is where I belong...

This poem of mine 
it will rhyme 
it is only 
a matter of time 
A thought in the motion 
without any commotion 
writing is my devotion 
just an exercise 
Sit back and relax 
And enjoy the ride 
relax your mind 
and give me some time 
read my poem 
and enjoy the rhyme...

fantastical, comical
amusing, charming, enchanting
art, song, truth, joy
smiling, laughing, grinning
life, esprit
reality

FARAWAY SONG

           Fathomless
              Aureate 
                   Ritornelle
                        Awakens
                             Withheld
                                   Ablaze
                                        Yearning

                                        Synchronizing
                                    Oscillating
                                 Notions

The musician songster I so admire
will perform for us what they love for hire
while the music I make all for free
I am the only one who know of me
  
The dancer accomplish the stage above
a living they make doing what they love
although dancing alone my room at night
I am the only one who know I might
  
The respect and wonder I have for all
of whom talent on show does so enthrall
when alone I perform my act for none
the applause I receive from only one...

Some artists draw
Some artists paint
I break the law
I’m not a saint

Do you draw
Or do you paint
Break the law
Are you a saint

I draw and carve
I also paint
I never starve
Have no complaint

Some artists write
Some artists sing
It is so bright
The joy they bring

Yes I can write
And I can sing
I also bite
And that can sting

Do you write
Or do you sing
Can you bite
And make it sting

I say its time
I’ve got to fly
With this last line
“I say good-bye”...
