     my frayed heart-strings like Chopin;

Tall birds grouped higher or low,

And no opera for for he,
Each day he would play
His pianoforte,
Note perfectio his only way.

Pianist's fingers trill the room
 while the ghosts of Liszt and Chopin loom

A tenant farmer strummed one note
That some would argue Chopin wrote
Neighbours heard that sound
And plowed up his ground
Monotony sure got their goat!...

Proud sound, soft tracks of voices burned
taming crude souls their virtue earned.

Inspired from the ''Pianist'', scene of Ballade No.1 in G minor Op.23 - Chopin....

We all hear Rachmaninov and Chopin
Plus Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven, and Schumann 
But it’s unfair, I say
That no one will play
That great composer who’s just known as Stan...

Pianist who is blind
Performs at train station
Pressing keys to play a
Perfect piece from Chopin 
People were moved to tears
Piano prodigy
Played Bach for the new king!...

My feet could not reach the pedals, yet
I read music at five years old
I played in competitions
I practiced everyday
I loved Classical
Chopin, Mozart
Piano
Still Play
Now.

Winter Peace

An old branch brushing against the eve 
Rhythm of rain on the window
Wood burning low in the fire
Chopin soothing the soul
Memories awake
Soup simmering
Love’s own hand
Safe now
Home...

what is this
   a surprise?
a welcome
       return:
my heart 
     flutters 
in
anticipation
joy
   wells
        within,
overflows
    in tears
drowns
the past..
     with love

inspired by clip of Chopin no 2 op31...

To breathe is constricting
to walk is now strained
My passion is boundless
My power has waned

  The music demands 
that I keep up the pace
so much to do,
when I look at your face

  I see hope rekindle
I feel I can try
to put down this opus,
this work,
ere I die....

~~~~T H E   W I T C H ' S   H E A D   N E B U L A E~~~~~
The Canadien Seal Hunt by The Humane Society


Warmingly, a seal

pup, heedlessly, greets strangers

who clubbed it to death.

quietly
        tenderness
              descends:
peacefulness
arrives
        and stays,
interludes
               languish,
surround 
          my whole
                   being,
fill it with
             contentment
and
       shalom

Serenade me with Chopin
As you and the piano become one.


As his nimble fingers skim the keys
His music permeates my soul.


The subtle notes start tentatively
....soon building to a crescendo.


The air is filled with happy notes
... I feel your smile come through the keys.

it
    is
        so 
           peaceful..
nothing
       is
          moving,
           no 
              noise
           no
               sound
just
my beating heart
and
      your breathing
so
close
to me..
       will
          you stay
or leave...?
please
say

Inspired by Chopin nocturne in E flat clip...

Attended a poetry reading 
    on a cold day 
in Gotham
A pianist played Chopin Scarlatti and Debussy 
   Heard a lecture about Anti - Facist poets 
of the 1940's
       Along with other poets
and a humorous piece about Trump 
    I got up and read my verse 
Six poems to some applause 
    Read a limerick that I wrote 
about Middle Earth 
All in all a nice day!...

THE kiss of cold
--ness froze my soul
a tin can kicked
beyond winter's road

Hands in pockets
did not abate the shiver
ice-shattered thoughts
as I walk alone down

My cobble-path stones
across the way as I walk
and through a golden lilt
window-soul I hear

Chopin playing on air
My friend-soul I'm told
kissing my footfalls
------------as I go

Lovely ebony and ivory
Together in harmony

Packed in wood
Sounds so so good 

But before melodies can be heard
There must be a pair that are unencumbered

Yes

A talented two 
Definitely will do

Gifted fingers that are light and feathery
Swiftly across the keys rendering a sweet 
melody

Chopin and Tyner are gently on my mind
Beautifully tickling the keys, oh so sublime...

Black moon... It is my heart...

Shards of night pierce my tearing eyes...

Her scent still looms like tiny flowers drifting in the summer wind...

Chopin plays softly from the corridor, as grief grabs my hand...

It gently touches the funeral wreaths and flowers ever so numbly...

My world is black without her... 

I am but a vacancy in a dark suit...

Black moon... It is my heart......
