chords fret as trembling waves
triggered afar 
die on these rocks
a sextet of sorrows
his strings arouse

it's like a singer
performing on stage
without vocal chords
his words fall
hushed in silence
like a deafness
upon ears
that hear

Staccato Roots

Surly songs 
Played by hungry men
Plucking staccato roots
Spotted chords of dried dearth
Cleansed in strummed pots of boiling verse

Premium Member Vengeance Is Sweet

Vengeance worms in its way
after art of submission falls prey
Bass slap riff and chords ring funky, 
beats that warm the brass monkey

Voiceless

The words rumbled inside,
Lingering at the back of my throat,
Entangling my vocal chords
You have made me voiceless again.

But I do it still

In the dark

Letting the desk’s dust settle on my vocal chords

Vibrating in a quiet moan

arthritic hands search the fretboard
finding chords that hurt the least
the old guitar brings a toothless grin
then we sneak a sip of whiskey

Window To Your Soul

Words, thoughts and
Images are
Chords of dry wood
That kindles through
This red brick oven,
In your mind
The mind is this
Window to your soul

No sweeter air then after the
penance of a piano note,
cascading chords and the fate of Atlas.
Tears of a warrior
How does one caress delicate

Singing In the Shower

I've got no choice
I've lost my voice
My vocal chords lack power
So rest sweet neighbor
'Tis but a favor
I shant sing in the shower

pleiades

Colors intensify
Cross-hatching achieves depth
Chords support single notes
Cadence provides focus
Charisma opens doors
Credibility counts
Clarity, my life's goal

Play ballerina notes
Press of staccato keys
Performing thousand rhythms
Poignant and sweet octaves
Pristine tinkling of chords
Practice bass and treble

Chords  upon strings are played with finesse
bringing forth celestial  songs
As angels their slender strings caress 
 A symphony of harps played by heavenly throngs
soothing the soul  while they bless

Stormy Encounter (John Heck's No-No Nonet Challenge)

Around fires of desire -- danced she
Dark-eyed beauty captures his soul
Castanets and stormy feet
Flailed to fiery beat 
Encountered heart tones
Chords--Unrobed heat
Guitar strings
Kissed by
Song
