Virtuoso Take The Stage
Artistic impressions with timeless appeal,
Diving into the ivory with an ebony appeal,
Masterful and refined, passionate and elegant,
This prolific child would forever stand the test of time.
Innovative and refined, like a glass of cherry wine,
He pushed every boundary, giving a glimpse of his life..
Smooth connecting notes, a trill, an accent, a chord,
A silent yearning to

Virtuoso
A tune that’s doused in giocoso
will leave listeners with a full heart;
It bleeds with a rhythm staccato;
Fly guitar that’s not born to follow
joins forces that act like a kickstart;
A tune that’s doused in giocoso;
Sangere holding a melos with flow
throws that lyrical poisonous dart;
It bleeds with a rhythm staccato;
The message is kind but not

Virtuoso - Crater Wrangle Minichu
On specific night, the moon shows part a story
With sliced light's slant on key rock,
By at odd interests' solarity—
The cold rock fires back
Through lumped scars mixed in as minerals;
From behind, dark side's show, light lack.
Haunted angles
Sun spangled
Rankled
On specific night, the moon shows part a story
Through lumped scars mixed in as minerals,
Rankled.

Virtuoso
Carnelian dawn reflects red sun rising,
Mirrors glow of vermillion flycatchers,
With scarlet plumage, so mesmerizing,
Dawn’s songbirds – virtuoso stature.
Flight song resounds through the still morning mists,
Woodland thickets embrace the day song,
Artists on wings with bright feathers flame kissed
Warble sweet aves on garnet birdsongs.
Vigil for daybreak in tones cinnabar
Matins’ maestros in morning’s sung prayers,
Amber strains

Skin Virtuoso Charm Remains
Written: June 26, 2023
______________________________________________________________
You, lovely! How you have matured!
A vision of grace, so enchanting and so manured
But alas, Pretty moved out and vanished from sight.
And a youth, too, was kidnapped in the dead of night.
Now that age resides within your once beloved abode,
She has forced your hope chest bowed.
Leaving you feeling betrayed and alone.
Oh, how

A Virtuoso Also a Caposo
Refuse I to believe A Virtuoso
Is also A Most Dreaded Caposo:
The man dealing with us: Hot Petito,
Three times Award-Winning Maestro
In some quarters “Another Castro!”
Cud simply chewing while faking invoice
That would ring true in the falsest voice…
Petito: Just as he big sums deducts
School Children with Heavy Escorts abducts:
Wonderfully Christ’s Fellowship conducts,
A thousand

Ethereal Virtuoso
“Ethereal Virtuoso”
keys passed
from tongue to tongue
strange kisses dealt
token time turning
gone
useless words written
below whispers
backward facing
closed minds
gone
feathers without quills
dance in silence
fall on breath
beating life
evanescence
drawn up
into unseen arms
you are worn
as gossamer silk
they speak light
without words
anima universal
here
you are unread,
you are the notes
playing in the music
a new metronome
to write a new life
a true

Bartolomeo
They knew with a name like Bartolomeo Cristofori
This charming boy raised in the hills of Italy
Would be destined for grand things
They saw Bartolomeo forging his destiny
Tinkering with the sounds of strings vibrating
Throwing a tiny hammer for melodious resonating
And so it was around 1700 the piano was invented
For centuries refined through innovation
evolution and technological

THE OBOE VIRTUOSO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check my avatar, a tiny little rose you'll see.
Well, a fairy left it there for me with an invitation.
Did the RSVP bit, got all dressed up, I did agree.
A guest I was allowed, my Leprechaun sensation,
The one who read a note, the Queen had left for me.
The Fairy Queen, of course, was a

Violin Virtuoso
When he played his violin magic took place!
A sense of serenity shown on his face.
A lover of music so gifted in art...
A teacher to many, known for his sweet heart.
Poetry would become his passion, his need...
A master of poetry in the words that he freed.
The strings are now quiet with music no more.
Still students recall

THE VIRTUOSO
on stage
see the picket lines
row after row
and the far vault
gone any dress discomfort
just him
brilliance fame?
presence expectation?
not a concern
just him alone
and how does his part begin?
