Soulful chorus
wistful cries,
guitar strums
last goodbye,
bereaved ears
melodies speak,
breaking hearts
rhythmic beats,
lyrics rain
mirrored skies,
shattered tears
brittle eyes,
as sombre
mourners sing
Please place patience upon my palms,
and put much Madness in my Heart.
Stir in my Soul, a somber song-
(Truth in Mind ere I depart)
My course is forced; what woe- remorse!
Thus from myself, at once divorced…
A sojourn at every turn-
and at my door, a Trojan Horse!
If I listen to this song
I won’t cry the night long
For the mood I’m in
Has such regard for old sin
But the song wants me to sing
And have the happiness it will bring
So keep playing while you can
I know crying will not make it go to plan.

If this is another melody
A song of the sad and blue
It'd do no good to feel sympathy
The same really goes for you
My head is spinning softly
With words I can't comprehend
Thoughts I don't recommend
Memories I'd love to lend
My hands are moving swiftly
I just want the song to end.
PRINCE OF SWEET SONGS
"Prince of sweet songs made out of tears and fire......" ( A Ballad of François Villon:Envoi-A.C. SWINBURNE)
The prince showed up in the terrace
Looked skyward a bird falling down a shooting star
The prince called his lyricist and a hangman
Listen to poem:
in the dance of moonlight
a serenade comes to mind
a mellow longing that persists
a melancholic sway that heaves of ache
a craving that refuses to subdue
a calling of the heart felt to the core
a yearning that begs 'Play Misty For Me'
please won't you please 'Play Misty For Me'

‘did you hear it’, he asks me in a dream.
‘I haven’t stopped listening’, I say.
‘I wish I could hear it, just once’, he says with a pained smile.
‘the Ode to Joy moves me to tears’, I say.
‘I wish I could hear my sobs’, says Ludwig ruefully.
‘I wish I could see my tears’, I say.
He laughs a laugh he cannot hear.
I laugh too,
my eyes brimming with tears,
that only Ludwig can see
Form:
just drifting along
repeating my life's mistakes
refrains in a song
endless lyrics of heartbreaks
memories of what went wrong
mind singing the blues
sad emotions, falling tears
noticing the clues
admitting the end is near
deciding which life to choose
notes leaving the head
music vacating all thought
releasing the dread
that was pent up in my heart
new refrain, "at last it's dead."

Soft moonlight
Reflects off my guitar
As I wait for you 'neath your window.
I spy your shadow silhouetted by a light.
Taking a deep breath, I start to sing and finger my guitar;
An air of unrequited love, and the sadness of life in the shadow.
Title # 3
In awe and angst, my Mind exploding-
Near to truth, but nothing knowing!
In Sadness sought, my Soul is sewing;
Weaving woes my Heart bestowing
Exhausted brain, too drained for thinking,
For in Wells of Worry I am sinking...
I might as well just keep on drinking-
And all around me, Poets singing
Songs of old and tunes of yore-
Words that torch me to my core
One more draught, dropped to the floor,
And I can hear their Hymns no more...
