Symphonies Poems

Breeding and for that matter breathing has taken over the spluttering world

Retroviruses conduct symphonies for nostalgic post-apocalyptic mindfulness

Entropic madness gathers its pace as fast as loo roles escape from the shops

Xenophobia implicates the roots of all epic evil as derived...Read More

conjure cumulus frost-bitten clouds
curious billows sporting fluffy shrouds
zeniths growing, burgeoning powers
forming glorious looming towers 

hyperboles design brief distortions 
comic sketches of monstrous proportions
cotton confections silvery might
splendiferous altars vestal white 

cryptic vaporized icy smoke
cumulus clouds lure sky-gazing folk
hewn works mimic stunning...Read More

Canticle of Two Stars

I hear the two stars singing
In daylight valleys of never ending tears
And through deep deserts of rushing storms
At midnight;
Companions on my journey,
Duets,
In perfect harmony,
Daystar at the dawn -
A light unto my feet – a morning song -
North...Read More

Here's the Good News, our world is awash, 
in wonders and beauty life cannot quash;
Like laughter and love, kind words, Turtle Doves,
Bar Mitzvahs and birthdays, baptisms and first dates,
Promotions, Grand Openings, healings and yodeling!

Still more Good News...
Our world is awash,...Read More

A billion blazing Suns that shine for me,
One heart beats within their symphony…
My eyes expand to the morning glimmer,
For sorrows fade a decrescending dimmer…

Splendour is their shine of Eternal Elysium,
Fulgor fusion fires of hydrogen into helium…
Luminosity lusters of a beacon...Read More

A bird flaps it's wings as it soars high above the sky..
Below the clouds..
Above the clouds..
And beyond..

The sweet taste of freedom..
Is expressed..

Trees in the forest breathe..
As they surround us all..
With their loving oxygen..
They spread their love on the whole..
Other trees..
Us..
Lovely...Read More

In Silk and Dreams, breakfast at Tiffany’s 
nights of lavender lace, mornings with dew 
a highlighted garden of mysteries
waterfall wishes, windblown thoughts of you

In a playground of desire, succeeded
candle flickering a flame, whispers true 
a familiar song-  Just What...Read More

Most of the music I’ve written will never see the light of day
I guess it wasn’t meant to be heard here
But that’s okay because still I persevere
Driven by a sense that it’s not for nothing

That there’s an eternity coming…

Where the...Read More

Creepy, quiet, mellow, velvet night,
The hour that my love shines bright,
As moondrops fall from above;
I'm in the arms of love.

Like leaves that whisper on the trees,
I hear love's symphonies;
On the streets of Italy, London, and Paris, France,
Lovers chance to dance.

The...Read More

And we danced,
To that song you love, the one that starts out slow,
A solitary violin, singing soft and low,
A flutist swells to join the strings, and your fingertips meet mine,
A sudden decrescendo, anticipation in your eyes…

And then we danced
To sudden...Read More

Dream Weaver

The weaver sits before the threshold of the daystar  
Upon a carpet dyed in ebony spread across an alabaster porch, 
Hidden by a cape of ivory shimmers,
In between twilight’s caress and the palest blush of dawn,
To gather from...Read More

The Porter’s terms
Are highly irregular today
It’s Theo Chocolate nibs
Playing the stark domme fuhrer role
Submitting this docile subject
Into crazed tyranny
Only appreciated by the gullet
Impatiently waiting for its helping
Scores of thieves
Affixed in parallel thoughts
And steely fortitude
Look to match the ABV
Doled out like...Read More

KNOWING LESS THAN BEFORE…

That whisper of the night before struck me powerfully, 
It affected me more than I intended to admit
Hades—stupid Hades, a follower, loyal enough—
But nothing to compare with the suicidal, lovely
Red glow of Death’s betrayal— and to ME!...Read More

i BLED for you-
from my anorexic soul,
it craved nothing and everything
so that you could stay safe and warm

you BLED for you-
the only way you knew how-
sighing sated sentiments for solitude,
never knowing how flawed your veins were

i CRIED for you-
the deepest...Read More

Obsession
                      (Spenserian Sonnet)

     You came with songs of love’s gifts to bestow
   ...Read More

There is depth in every tune composed,
no matter if your soul is open or heart closed-
an abyss of entangled metaphors brings hope,
lyrics of loss make me starve for affection.
O, I must admit…music has taught me to cope.
With each song sung...Read More

My beautiful girl...
  How sweet her soft symphonies,
  My love... how she makes me swoon;
  when the moon was full...
  and love was in her eyes

Too tender her delicate embraces,
  as I if to meld...Read More

i see your silhouette 
surrounded by an aura of light
all purple and green
magic sparks off your skin like current from within
and your eyes glitter with the shine of galaxies
everything you speak sounds like symphonies
and casts a spell on me
i'm caught...Read More

Silent symphonies surrender the Nazarene night,
Where empty hearts splendor within the white…
A child is born amongst ambient Angels alight,
Where all adorn within a manger of starry bright…

The Nativity of the grotto graces gleaming gold,
Holy Spirit does bestow as we wonder...Read More

Sitting on our porch at night
looking up to the sky
a lonely moon and antennae
of gold against our souls
only our rebel hearts
and stormy parts
you take the lead
i'll take the follow
which one of us is more hallowed
You got your wings
I got my...Read More

Locusts and crickets rub their legs like mad
   Their summer night symphonies uniformly bad

Yet when chill breezes still these musicians' strings
   I long for the return of their discordant wings...Read More

Judgement
You light the fire, then play the victim.
It's not my fire, yet you let it burn.
Rage and pain drive you insane,
creating a parody of hypocritical lies.
Judgemental eyes ignite in fumes,
ignorant to another man's shoes.

Silent emotions
They say he shows no emotions,
yet...Read More

For some, ignorance is their strength,
taken false providence to all its length.
To know and not to know, conscious of complete truth
while telling carefully constructed lies to sooth.
Is that the revelation we want to hear,
while overwhelming motions are the tragic to...Read More

Rainbow leaves have begun
Their carpeting of the earth’s floor
Leaving weird-looking naked branches;
Their abandon nests no longer with tenants.

As their waters approach crystallization,
Pond populations are on the decline
And what use to be thick blinding forests
Now yield visibility to once hidden curiosities.

No...Read More

Thinking back on my all White
but One,
all Right
but One,
classroom learning experience,

I can see why
many of my straight white male classmates,
especially those with early varsity team excellence
and above average grade point systems
tipping toward future capital-valued employment
might feel disappointed,
sometimes angry,
about what feels...Read More
