Until Gone

Old memory written,
new words to a song

Forgotten, remembered
—sung once and then gone 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2019)

On the Radio

on the radio; 
are songs,     my love, not words 
to bridge     this rift
you are     exorcising 
memories     of love, but why?

Singing the Mortal Coil

Dancing the words to lance the boil
With grace and style but no toil
Watering the soul’s thirsty soil
Poetry sings the mortal coil

Premium Member Angel's Songs

A word can be a sharp-tipped arrow
  Its marksmen uses for good or evil
Gentlemen target angels' songs
  Scoundrels aim for the devil's

Premium Member The Unknowable Ordinary

What's happening

And not happening

Simultaneously

Is the appearance

Of the ordinary and

Is unknown and

Unknowable..the

Ordinary unknowable...

Premium Member Boggles the Mind

Paradox

Boggles the mind..

The boggling is 

Fixed in illusory

Separation..so

There is no mind

To boggle..but

This story may 

Resonate as 

Freedom...

Premium Member Happy Piano

A happy piano plays on, fingers dance across the keys. In school I took many lessons, keys danced happy piano. Happy keys make for happy day, keys playing Happy Birthday.

Avatar's Love

There is a song I know
It's a poem in its own right
I cannot describe it to you
Without the melody sounding trite

I have no way to say it
But to you I implore
Listen to the Avatar's Love
And stay with me forevermore

To Adorn

The words better naked,
  the song better clothed

My feelings stripped bare,
  my lyrics exposed

I flash and I streak,
  the melody warms

Now fully unrobed,
 —my song to adorn

Premium Member Life and Death

Life and death

Seem separate

But also may seem

Simultaneous and

Timeless..

Understood and

Beyond understanding..

Life may seem 

As searching

For a resonance with

Such a canvas of

Life and death...

Premium Member So say nothing

What is This?

nothing can be said 

apparently

no time and distance 

for figuring This out~

language opts out

without subj and obj~

nothing makes sense 

nothing to explain

so say nothing

which is everything~~

Premium Member The Words of Her Song

The words of her song
    remained on his lips
  duties of the heart with
    which he'd not come to grips

  The pain that he felt
    as they tormented his soul
  spurred him on to repentance
    renewal of vows ~ marriage whole

To Laura Nyro

Escaping myself,
  I ran into the wilderness

Escaping myself,
  I ran back through the dawn

Escaping myself,
  my shadow had vanished

Until capturing myself 
  —in the words of your song

Premium Member My Song

I 
Will Send
All I can
To reach your heart
With a gift of joy
To know you are smiling
Across snow covered mountains
Nothing can stop my messages
Just as the birds are singing their songs
My song will replay my care, forever

Words Forever Young

As my body stoops with age,
youth lulls upon the page

Where words forever young,
cry willful to be sung

As daylight quickly passes,
I greet night a friend at last

With memories deeply grained
—reborn in verse again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)

Muted Sirens

To recite it in a Poem,
  or sing it loud and strong

Their union an espousal,
  one by measure, one by song

Division casts adrift,
  as muted sirens fold their wings

This moment reinvented,
  —words and melody one thing

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

Turns To Song

The words all come together,
their meaning front to back

Like birds of common feather,
they follow the same tack

Existing for each other,
alone their context gone

All strength inside their union
—where memory turns to song

Filling My Words

Filling my words with music
  the moment took off and flew

All heaven to await its arrival
  the Angels and Sirens in view

Filling my words with song
  their spirit released once again

The devil to cover his ears
 —the past and future in sin

WORSHIP WORDS

WORSHIP WORDS

What meaning is in the message I hear in the psalm
Emotion and euphony both possess a certain charm
But underneath it all one feels a rhythm of existence
A firm pounding beat, with its distinctive resonance
In ancient times it was a song of praise that was sung
Now they are hymns, after the church bells are rung

Premium Member 2026

I’m fighting sleep like Muhammad Ali
Was up so late that it was early
Was listening to music new and old
New Years Eve filled with glitter gold

I was drunk on piano melodies soft
Guitar solos lift your heart high as loft 
Song words like hors d oeuvres for my ears
Eating feeding my soul through the years

2025 has left the room by moon 
2026 is like a red flower bloom 
Opening my eyes with anticipation 
A year of hopes and toasts celebration

Imperfectly To Song

Like me,
 my Poetry is far from perfect
  —a verbal oxen gored

Like me, 
 my words are often frail and broken
  —still crying to be heard

In me, 
 the message has found its student
  —to humbly expound

In me, 
 the truth can accept a birthmark
  —for a promise more profound

Unto me,
 the burden is left to finish
   —my life to pledge headlong

Unto me,
  the words now free, unsentenced
    —change imperfectly to song

Premium Member Does It Matter

Does it matter?

If every song must have an end
does it matter what song I send?
If love's a thing words can't reveal
does it matter what I feel?

If where's not what I want to know
does it matter where I go?
We know loves rarely coincide
and unshared love we all deride.

So, if who and when and where and how
do not matter then or now,
will it matter at the close
what my heart most feels most knows?

But in spite of all, I send to thee
this song of love from here and me.
