Short Crescendoes Poems

The music laughs 
piano thoughts
the tiny bird alive you caught
skitters wild across the keys
I hide within your satin sleeves
crepe and crinkled fragile soul
crescendoes gather and enfold
mesmerize me and infuse
a scherzo written by a muse...

           Ah, endless crescendoes….
           Golden soft harps, I hear.
           Musical scales of love, no fear.
           Songs, gold mementoes….

hoisted hankerings puke
nauseating vying view
lofty lust yawns
puncturing pulpy lawn
twain tainted tune
mystic melody prune

rusty riffs blush
under octave's touch 
callous crescendoes' crush

smirking pitch pitches
gaunt glissando clinches
birthing sumptuous A6


tuning atmosphere tenses
malady melts music.

tactic theories tamed
by moaning brain
callous crescendoes' bait
airy acumen craved
felon feasts fostered
hoity twin triggered

rusty rules reeled
raging rumple reek
punctured politics' spree

dark dances dribbled
saucy syllables scribbled
did curves cripple

lanky lust birthed
vying veil's verge.

The glowing light 'pon sparse clouds
Radiates a golden glow
Orange marmalade sun tips the far
horizon and waltzes slow

Light changes slowly to clear bright
The birds' chorus crescendos
Joined by the whirr of a hummer
Mornings sung in tempos  

The plural of Crescendo can be crescendos, crescendoes, or crescendi

The plural of Tempo can be tempos or tempi.....

Do not of the past, think its gone!

Listen carefully to the lyrics,  still playing.

The crescendoes satisfy your deepest cravings.

That poetic soul of yours constantly playing a song.

Mother singing you sweet lullabies.

The orchestra at your wedding, when you danced all night long.

And at incensed funerals, heavenly chanting went sweetly on.

open window's symphony
rain falling softly, lightly
crescendoes, pounds
then again, diminishes 
each landing, a note
- plip - on balcony's slate 
- plop - on wooden rail 
- ping - on metal roof
- paapf - on leafy tree

bird's flute sweet-swirling
an octave above the rest
meter drawn from distant church bells
- clang - clang - clang -
cars passing - swisssssssh -
their wake the maestro's flourish
thunder's deep rolls
sforzando al fine
sleep...

callous crest grows
into crumbling crescendoes
lost bounty balance
to moaning coda
wielding wanky melody -
smoldering mystic symmetry

punctured contractions pianissimo
bleeding concerto grosso
drowning dainty diapason

sour lyrics smirks
squashing salient thirst
jumpy jazz jerks


music met madness
turbulent twain wedded.

Note: Dedicated to artiste like Nigerian Naira Marley, who fixes s into beats in the name of music....

Humming Sorrow 

(Replaces 'a' with 'q') 

Seeping smogged smithereens in mqrrows, 
Cqllous pqin hums hymnql sorrow:
Junk jive embroidered with crescendoes, 
Rough rhythms in reefs grow
Qs the offshoot red glow. 

Eqrs fqr qwqy heqrd
The music crescendoes bled. 
Into pity, heqrts moved. 
Sixth octqve,  notes improved. 

Teqrs trqiling trqcks, 
Pqin pqsting pqts, 
Music melting mqss. 

Music fqdes. 
Then cqme,  

Wqils.
