Wherever you roam, in this great big land
Kooks are the happiest, they all have a plan
To shake up the planet
With joy, run the gamut
Kooks unite! If you're one, join the clan...

Can't stop, I'm driven to an extreme intense vision
Of power and control much like the guy on television
Lead the whole planet
To run the gamut
Making sure we're still here in our lovely subdivision...

MEADOWLAND OF BROKEN DREAMS

My heart is a weeping Willow Tree
Which cast a shade of gloom on me
In a meadowland of broken dreams
Where nothing is pretty as it seems
For the bluebird ceased his lilting song
To another lane he now belongs
While the mocking bird repeats its chime
Which runs the gamut of my mind...

Of all the masks I possess,
the happy face is the best
Hides all the tears
 covers those fears
 and a genuine smile projects.

Me behind the mask is a human 
feeling a whole gamut of emotion,
but my mask helps me gather 
more love, more joy 
laughter and appreciation.

from greatest joys to depths of despair.
the highs, the lows, the in-betweens;
the longtime married couple
have run the whole gamut
of their life journey.
despite hardships,
they still paddle
their canoe
across
creek.

Notes 
Pitch not properly

Beat
Has no craft

Tempo
Has missed out

Counter point
Has lost its point

Harmony
Never took place at all

A gamut
Has abandoned its order 

Rendition
Is not in tune with composition 


Why is this? What is this?

Though 
A lot of people 
Do not say categorically 
I say 
In monotone 
“That is life”

I am in search 
Of melody...

Sharing 
what we have in common or delineating our differences through the medium of wrought words communicates a compelling narrative -
Captivation of beauty, 
passion of love,
kindness of heart, 
joy of happiness,
tragedy of tears, 
hope of healing, 
wit of wisdom -
the grand gamut of human emotions wouldn’t be shared if not for the language and vocabulary of Poetry....

In me, the rain of wishes is falling firmly
On me, the breeze of poems is blowing firmly
 
The darkness of yesterday’s sorrow gets away
For me the dawn of pleasure is rising firmly
 
My heart is filled with excellent exuberance
Height of my deep thinking is growing firmly
 
A new brilliance gives me the gamut of notes
And a nameless sentience is singing firmly
 
In my mind and in my heart yearning flows
An epic of love my heart is writing firmly...

Sayonara, Arrivederci, Shalom, Aloha, they all mean the same thing, Right?
or 
Not?
It depends....
And whether you're experiencing "Jamais vu"
Or "Deja vu"- you will of course, have
a different reaction.
Emotions run the gamut--
that seems to be the attraction,
but underneath the skin, the veins 
it's in your blood,
your DNA,
there's an imperceptible something,
 absolutely something there
-ReaL-
you can't replicate it in a laboratory,
But it informs You: Who you really 
Are....

Listen to poem:

you won't see me scream
you won't see me angry
i won't stomp my feet
i won't raise my voice

just because there's no drama
don't think everything's ok

stick around
you haven't seen
my fifty shades of grey

when i'm disappointed or unimpressed
i can run the whole gamut
in every shade and every hue

if i was happy
you would know
if things were ok
you would know

just because there's no drama
don't think everything's ok
