Short Preludes Poems

When  king  Sun outbreaks,
  preludes immense cortege:
   rays, lights,  heat, colors ......

Restful energy collecting
With moving visions that come,
Lite within easy reach,
Single purpose in mind.

Preludes and overtures,
Contatas and riffs,
Scores of passages lined
Inlaided and veneered....

Weak audible creaks from a faded pub sign
Preludes a visual crash, combed by critical eyes
Though the structure was sound
The worn brackets were faint
Flaking words curled and dropped
With the tired peeling paint....

Porcelain keys create
         Passionate sonatas
         Pitched in dulcet notes through
         Prewritten preludes that
         Piercingly vibrate when
         Pianists softly press 
         Pedals to enhance tunes...

Heart shaped Opal ring
Preludes deadly destiny
Stripping away dreams
Closing forever the eyes
From illusionated bride

There's fireworks in the sky
on this midsummers night.
Fiery paintings on blue canvas 
mirror a poets words upon his page. 
Crescendo brings on the dusk, 
that preludes the moonlight.
It cues the stars to enter,
and bring their show to centre stage....

Alone for a moment
 measuring
sound
Frozen pieces
in a
particular way
to wonder 
about
myself
To relax for hours
 as in
a childish dream
and revolve 
in
all directions
this prolongment
of self
limp..lonely..lost….
then
instantaneous
three pieces in form
with picturesque preludes 
I open my mind
 notice

I listen to the rain’s soft music
of preludes of notes over deeper night
refreshing the venial air
which kisses the
zenith of my
sidereal heart
your hands besiege
my wax body
painted slowly with
drops of rain
my skin
water flowers
pink snowflakes
purple butterflies
you take the rain
& dress me as your queen,
the solstice kiss
and the silence of breath...

Shadows of the pre-dawn night
Of thee I fathom what's to come
Fear not the shades of hopeless strife
Thy will preludes the strength of sun

O'er prairies filled with downy haze
Your power seeks to forge a path
That follows rainbows all the way
From lightning strikes to calm at last

Of thee I fathom what's to come
'Till sundown, battles will be won!

Imagine: hearing the scraping as nails harsh against, their walls
Creche preludes sensing this foreboding; crawling, past these veins ?
Sanctum sanctorum and macabre's, man-of-war his abomination peering
Stepping-stone hallucinations; intuitive marked it's beast ? Ancient's, six'pence....
Monere, a child's eyes prophetic tides omega: hideous, standing where they ought not....

I believe we had more fun,
When I used to sit and wait.
For you to sneak out again,
For a nightly moonlit date.

Those were the good old days,
That my heart happily longs for.
The summer days at the ocean,
Slowly kissing by the shore.

Now that we’re fully grown,
You still give my eye a twinkle.
Marriage is good but can’t compare,
To the preludes of love and wrinkles....

God's goodness, gifts me graciously
with wondrous ways.
I'm blessed beyond belief because
He heralds hope.
I know His kindness keeps me safe-
my faith feels firm,
as prayer preludes my plans each day-
I sing soul songs.
My lasting love for God lifts life-
above all ails,
and deep devotion directs me
to tell the truth-
God's goodness, gifts me graciously!
