...sleep

Alternating Major and minor
Sitting
Being cloud-tossed
Emotionally abused
Heart-struck!
I will myself never ending amused
Deeply    purposely used
How that poet knew    how well
That Ravel...

hark
   is that 
   a thought...
yes..
once more
it
is
    there,
slowly
it
calls to me..
to
reflect,
to
consider..
perhaps
to inspire...
...maybe

inspired by clip of Ravel Pavane Infante...

so quiet
      here
just me
   & the sound
of
me,
      with
      my

appearing
  one
     by
       one...
..creating..
     ....contently

inspired by Ravel Piano concerto  theme clip...

silence
       broken
voices
events
of the past
            awake,
memories 
          surface
          before
          my
          eyes..
lie
   before me
as
  clear as
    yesterday

inspired by Ravel piano in G clip...

I wandered round my dome
unable to get my pen down
I looked in the sky
It was clouded to my sight
I racked my brain
It was busy snoring
I looked at my side
but saw nobody
not even my shadow
my mind was silent like the dead of the night 
my ears were deaf to my snorting 
I forced my lead down but got stand still 
I decided to write out of nothing 
for the mood of a poet brings out creativity....

THE MOST ELOQUENT SILENCE

Two mouths meltingly in mad kiss
So feel this, a good kiss knock off stress & bring peace.
A kiss seals two souls for a moment in time.
Ravel in the mo' with a passion unfathomable, it's no crime
Eyes closed...this won't cost a dime.
A kiss is a silent statement
So have your say in this moment of enjoyment.

The facade of your election;
Brings no accolade to the nation;
Your ambitions lack honesty;
And your actions are a travesty.

You travel abroad to collect honors;
Yet you ravel the region with horrors;
Some describe your style as canny;
Yet all ascribe your rule as tyranny.

With only your candidacy;
We have the ascendancy of autocracy;
We lack the decency of democracy;
We observe the supremacy of idiocy....

MUSIC

walking one night
i heard the same dirty sax
i hated
when she walked out on me
at club sleezy


fiddling unafraid
on fifth avenue for experience
the whores    pickpockets walking by
taking a bite
of the big apple


sam
at the steinway grand
cocktail music
for love or misery
or both


one hundred
on stage at the philharmonic
the audience
rich and poor alike
fused as one by ravel

In the darkness of the night
As I walk through the city,
I can see the light
And all its pitty.

As I ravel in my coat
And trip out the door,
I lie there in my coat
Broken on the floor.

With all my fury
I grab a knife;
And with the word "dearly"
I end my life.

Now as I climb the stairs
The gate is locked,
I go where no one dares
Where life is mocked.

As that once bright light
Starts to dim,
It goes back to night
And life turns grim.

And now I'm done.

Listen to poem:

C lear your slate
O bserve the universe around you
N avigate the seas and stars
T ravel the lands and galaxies
E levate your aspirations
M itigate the risks and
P acify wanton fears
L et them not define you
A spire to boundless heights
T ranscend false limitations
I llusions meant to confine you
O bliviate these nagging falsehoods
N urture what’s godlike within you
