Xenophobia Empowers the Weak

Auditory dementia envelops upon a grandeur scale. Skepticism dilutes the 
experience, painting an abyss of soul in-cognizant. Xenophobia empowers the weak, 
imploring a dissonant decadence awaiting....

Time To Write About Charles Ives

Ives was an influential composer
He wrote about the question everyone faces 
What we all want the answer to 
Made a bundle in the insurance business
Dissonant American sounds 
Dissonant American sounds!...

Political Platforms

Ongoing
          discussions
upon change:
boring
dissonant
often incoherent,
disjointed,dislocated
off-the-cuff
promises.
centrepieces
of tomorrow
built with lies...

merely a means..
to
    their ends...

Why Does the World Weepw

why does the world weep?
when crashing waves kiss crying skies
and songs of dissonant angles ring
As fearful mountains spew their rage
And humans are replaced by beasts
if never were we allowed to dream
why does the world weep?...

I AM

I am nobody, nothing more or less 
than a pathetic line of symmetry.
In this paradox of existence,
a listless, feeble entity.
I am nothing more , and nobody
for the universe to see.
A dissonant heap of dust,
and never a beloved priority....

Yin, Yang, Big Bang

  Where my yin meets my yang
    I hear a dissonant clang

  My physician traced it back 
    all the way to the ‘Big Bang’

  Seems I hopped aboard an asteroid
    went for a wild ride

  Hit my head on a comet
    blasphemed, ‘God damn it!’

East River Thoughts

In the chaos of youth lights
          dance without exhaustion
A ballet on the river
          dissonant music in the city

An agitated psyche absorbs
            the brilliant skyline
A bridge sprawls and intimidates
            perpetual motion in the city...

The Gift

Doleful tenaciousness,
dissonant outrageousness,
in contemptuous mist,
forlorn and dismissed.

Early morn my sensibility,
recaptured tranquility,
solitude my quest,
undeniably blessed.

Forbearance and fortitude,
visionary interlude,
a sonnet, an epistle,
a tenet, a gift....

Mystical Matrimony

When fate decides to bring you love
Blithe portents ferry on snow white dove
For two, unseemly hands weave master glove
Then twain bodies will one soul share
Twined hearts will alternate beats square
Free spirits will in harmonious chorus flare
Dissonant minds, other's thoughts instinctively pair...

Order of the Drafted

Suborned to serve without recourse
Bonded to fight in dissonant force
Branded as national material resource
Sanctioned to bridge political discourse.

Constrained to go on amorphous mission
Commanded to kill with cunning precision
Ordered to sacrifice without condition
Feted to die in lowly contrition....

Big Snowstorms

If you were a guitar I would play you
My fingers would waltz on your strings
And the notes that came out would without any doubt
Soar to heaven on their own set of wings
The chords would be major and happy
No minors or dissonant thirds
And together we'd fly to the ends the sky
All the way serenading the birds...

Forsaken Soul Serenaded

Quintain of: sorrow, despair, agony, misery, lament scoring 
pain
Dolesome drum o'er jaded psyche taps a dark, palling 
refrain
Hamstrung harp bridled soul with dissonant chords 
enchain
Shrill flute a dreary, eerie melody wafts o'er drifting 
swain
Melancholy tenor of wailing violin doth all availing hope 
drain...

Deep Muse

A poem relies on words
in a communal way
that a song need not
explicit languaged lyrics.

Great communion loves
rely on compassion's voice
in a polypathic way
beyond life's primal need
to share polyphonic feelings,
rhythm
patterns
tone
harmonic and dissonant
music,

Often silent
yet synergetic, 
fused,
unconfused,
amused
musing....

The Conductor

Once I knew a man

Said that he should lead the band

I thought that it was grand

He was willing to take a stand

He conducted the high notes well

Really made them swell

However the music …it was dissonant

As the bass was so un-content

It seems to reach the heights

That man had lost his sight

All notes must play a role

For the music to have a soul...

Shofar

Wake up, Wake up
  You who slumber and sleep
    Wake up
    Return whence you came

  Jarring, dissonant
  The ram's horn bleats
    thirty, forty, one-hundred 
    unencumbered blasts

  A simple device, no frills
  the breath of a ram
    caught in a thicket
    magnified through its horn

  It is the voice of Abraham
  The cry of Sarah
    The breathing heart of Isaac
      ~ It is the cry of a Jew...

The Circle Is Dead

Babylon doesn't weep anymore
her gypsy, violet skies anger the god and his child
she's got the flesh on her side

Cool on the perimeter...meet the night
private sorrow...i won't spill again

Shed the audience, no mistake
The clowns were watching...and now i am the more distant in my movement and thought

I don't need you
i'll break our dissonant union...anonymous

I am now the hidden
I trust you not to follow...

Wish List

a love 
that's tempered
soft and gentle
sturdy as gravity
transcendental
a love 
vast as the ocean
always secure
even in draught
will endure
a love
like music
dissonant or in tune
floating through the sky
like a hot air balloon  
a love
rooted garden
natural art
tended with care
hope and heart

but most importantly

a love
with a voice
speaking kind words
even in loneliness 
a love 
always heard....

The Dance - Denouement

Sifting through shadows of lost innocence heaviness weighs chill eroding hope's gilt skeletons wrought of protracted suspense whisper pierce dissonant symphony's lilt lifting vague reminders of dreams unbuilt on shores of sanity. Love lesson learns over broad spans tumultuous yearning burns deep rumbling blunt warns solemnly heeded quite sensibly calm maturity earns tender strength soul protection when needed.

Dissonance Nirvana Tribute

Dissonant guitar 
and hiccups of angst 
drip golden licks of Nirvana;

Scream, follow me down 
for a time you know
that everything will be okay;
 Because it isn’t;

Rage with an anthem, 
clipped patchwork storm blew;
It grew as it moved inside us;

A lethal virus,
contagious it morphed;
Never easing, just kept spreading 
taking on the world;

Strong new variant 
much more infectious,
dissonance has no remission....

Dissonance a Forked Tongue in Cheek

Listen to poem:
You sound like a fingernail
dragged over a blackboard.
Every word cast as blackmail
from a forked tongue in cheek.
Bathed in the vile, bile of diatribe,
masticated to be flung as dung expelled.
Your snarled words reek with 
the dissonant cadence of discordance.
As your eyes flicker
from side to side with lies,
you look away, unable 
to face me, eye to eye,
unmasked,
unshielded,
nakedly exposed,
in tune tonality,
truthful....

Carpe Diem

THE POETS AND THE HIGHLANDER

A highlander stands alone 
on the crest of a high hill
quietly playing the bagpipes
stirring the tree branches in the mist of fog
The sonorous dissonant sounds of the pipes
create a melancholy mood over the open field 
the lone figure stands tall paying his respects
to the fallen poets
Poets no longer alive but their words
written ages ago ring loudly today
still piercingly proclaiming
we were alive are you?...

Chord In Minor Seventh - Sequita's Blues

She's enigmatic jazz
Duke's "Sophisticated Lady"
An original, unrepeatable moment
Ella's scat
spontaneous, extemporaneous
Melodic variation
Rhythm like a pulse
Miles' s dissonant resolution
Ornette's free-form come to life
A nuanced persona
informed by her own harmonic base
Billie's smoky ode to Miss Otis sans regrets
Like Bird when he drenched his sax with sweat
as he set the air aflame
Like aural combustion between us
too hot to be ever put out...
