virtual concerts
during the long lockdown days
the sound of music

spanish guitar plays
my favorite melody
musicians use zoom...

Close the blinds
stop the music
turn off  the 4th of July
concentrate on the
light show
behind one closed eye
in a ball in the
dark 
pain in endless supply...

Don’t freeze the stream of life, 
let it flow to the sea of ecstasy. 
Don’t stop the music of rhapsody, 
once it begins with grace of God.

Please my friend, don't stop
Don't stop the music of your mind
Don't stop the dance of your soul 
I will join you in love, together in unity 
In creating words bigger for the screen
In peace our words will be louder than screams...

I just want it to be quiet.
Stop the music, stop the noise,
Stop my brain from playing
With her everlasting toys.

But I must think this through. 
If I stop the music, stop the noise,
Will I stop my brain from playing 
With her necessary toys?...

place two chairs in a room
with three people moving around them

and at some point playing music 
stop the music

and one person will be 
left without a chair

looking for a way to get a chair
or will just disappear

you set the stage 
you caused the outcome

one nothing...

Dancing with the guilt queen
swaying in the dark
loaded lead and magnetized
with trouble in my heart
She won't stop the music
or let me catch my breath
She's told me it's a contest
We dance until the death
Spinning world is listless
My feet catch fire and burn
She dips me into tear pools
We turn, and turn and turn
Dancing with the guilt queen
a brutal thing to do
I am my worst enemy
I'll bet that you are too......

The music stopped, so did time
I looked in her eyes
Which I saw my eyes looking back
Her eyes in tuned with mine

The music a favorite to remember
Our embrace did not ease up
Please Mr. DJ play another slow song
Don’t stop the music, it’s only September

The music continued, I saw the radiance
A glow around her, I felt the vibration
The night was nearing an end, may I call again?
The call was made, we still dance in cadence...

Politely, you take hold of my hand
Together, we tried to be on land
You are leading the command
as we sway for some fun...

I catch your diamond stare
I did not see any glare.
Rather, I feel something flare.
Persons around, yells, 
"we could be a pair..."

We round-and-round unto the floor
Not wanting to stop the music 
Requesting for more.
My heart seems to sing and soar
For I  feel it right through my core...

as i sing a song of sadness
see the notes drop down like rain
such an overwhelming melody
that haunts me now and then

and i’ll never stop the music
that is running through my brain
keeping time with every heartbeat
living off eternal  pain

when i’m crying out the lyrics
and the lyrics never change
see i’ve got it memorized because
i’m screaming out your name

when this requiem is over
emptiness is all that’s left
always knowing it will start again
until it stops with death...
