Short Sharps Poems

I've written Sonnets in C Major key ~ funeral music to me

No notes on bars in flats or sharps ~ fingered morbidly sour on stringed harps

When no chance and that's well known,
Do not let hope.. do not let..
Avoiding sharps by fading slow
Do not give any shade of hope,
When there is no hope left.....

I’m a fan of that background sound,
the world’s underlying rhythm;
Life’s glass has a melodic rim
amplified with every shot downed;

To the sharps in the air I’m bound,
it’s who I am I’m cool with that;
The wallflower among chitchat,
still I crave the quiet sometimes;
In the moments that static climbs;
solitude can calm a hood rat....

While my sister performs
we play, Amy and I.

The other room fills
with sharps and flats.
Quietly we laugh and 
hope for an extra five.

I can here her talent,
envy and regret.
I do not need my session.

Stale popcorn and dolls
scattered on the green floor.
Eyes on the clock;
the hour has gone by.

The music stops.
Our time does too....

The hands
are quick 
to pick
the keys
to play
the tune
"Chop Sticks"
No sharps
or flats
Go left
Go right
Move up
and down
white keys
to pound
to make
the sound
of glee!
The blacks
are bummed
they missed
the fun
to make
a song
so bright!

They weren’t going to like me anyway
No one else ever had
So I gave them my sharps and my pokes and my sneers
I gave them my toughness. To let them know.
They were right.
I was so bad, no one could love me.
No one ever had.
And no one ever would.
Well, one had,
So I killed her for it.
Because I could not stand how wrong she was.
Everybody knew I was bad to the bone.
Why hadn’t she gotten that?
My mother had....

Black and White

Good, bad
Glad, sad
Moods shown
Through sharps
And flats;
Deep bold				
Sounds from					
The top						
Tier can				
Be heard
Both far
And near;
Soft C 
Scale sets
At rest
Till pressed
By soft
Light touch;
Black, White
Dark, Light
No hue
In sight,
But in
The mind
That’s blind;

Music touches the human soul;
conveying emotions through sound.
Vibes penetrate the subconscious,
fueling fragmented feelings.

As our bodies sway to the rhythm,
music touches the human soul.
And we dance, experiencing
a high only it can provide.

It can be like a tranquil sea;
or a wave, loud and expressive.
Music touches the human soul;
transcending talent and technique.

Sharps and flats have a unique voice
in this universal language....
