moonlight serenade
the fingerless pianist
forensic lyrics
the shriek of unchained love notes
clanking across endless keys

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....

And by all accounts the weeniest
A schooner* or two
And everyone knew
He certainly was the pianist

Agility flows
through the fingers;
gently dancing upon
those black and whites,
like graceful ballerinas
performing the music
of her soul.

Her husband was a concert pianist,
always in the limelight
When he passed, she was inconsolable and miserable
Until she found a flower on his piano
Red rose from heaven...

If words were music
I could be a Grand Master
A Concert Pianist
A member of an orchestra
A Cello-ist
A Triangle-ist
A Percussion-ist
Waiting
To insert
A clash of syllables...

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!...

Stienway stands proudly
Fingers on ivory 
Carressing, demanding, soothing
Emotion runs deep
Audience breathless, absorbing
Lost in the moment’s grandeur
Youth , with ageless talent.

  Mountains to climb
    Jungles to explore
  Species to discover
    Rivers to ford 

  An astronaut one day
    Generalissimo the next
  Concert pianist on Saturday
    Standing ‘O’ at the Met…  

  My bucket list at nine
    worked out just fine
  None of it achieved
    No reason to grieve

He Played Sweet Music



he kept following her path of petals of roses in the sand
when he met her v in the beach he called out the marching band
the pianist in him played a few moves
but it was his tuba that got her groove
when he left the beach a crescendo of cloudburst hit land

England's knighted ~ Sir Elton John
Singer of songs like the classic, Levon
Genius pianist, known for tabloid strife
Still standing with David, the love of his life.

I don't know who I am waiting for
Maybe I am waiting for the painter
Who turns the cathartic moon
Into carnation mist of healing
Or maybe I am waiting for the pianist
Whose fingers turn the daunting nights
To midnight seas of delightful dreams
Or maybe I am waiting for a poet
Who will turn me into a poem
With all new beginnings.

To my daughter, forever 14 and forever a pianist. 


What a beautiful instrument for a beautiful and talented young lady.

I smile as I see you there, hearing you play, composed and written melody. 

Then it hits me, I realize it’s my imagination, something surreal and unknown. 

I take a second glance, my heart aches, because there is an empty seat at the piano....

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 Pianist and the Senorita' 


 Of tobacco and perfume was her scent, 
 
 She of beauty without relent, 
 
 She of soul full-blooded, 
 
 In body and spirit, 
 
 My immortal beloved. 
 
 
 For her I compose 
 
 Sonatas and nocturnos, 
 
 In the hope my strings and hers will entwine, 
 
 So that my heart I may consign 

 To her, the Spanish seductress, comely by design....

music was her life until that fatal day
when that driver plowed into her

now in a vegetable state she lies there
a smile sometimes passes over her face
I see a finger move seemingly to tap
it is dancing to music we never hear

maybe she is back at her grand piano
playing to wide audience again
a concert pianist with music in her soul
she lived for music, now music keeps her alive.

I gazed across the room,
A portrait of friendship,
Parents of generations,
Young and old blessed with friends,
Gathered to dine and enjoy another's company,
The sounds of music in the air,
The pianist caressed the keys,
With an old familiarity,
Songs of generations,
Lively and enjoyable,
A cup of tea, complimented,
With delicious foods,
A goodtime had by all,
A portrait of friendship.
