Nov 28, 2006 ~ MUSIC

So I decided that I'd rather not be a car,
some toy with wheels of shiny steel,
really won't take you all that far,

Maybe I want to be some star,
a heavenly body not so shoddy,
yet without me shooting you'd be off par,

But, to be...

superstars behind speakers in a car,
what's better than jazzing at some bar?
yodeling that resonates from valleys afar,

travel through eardrums by hands and guitar,
killing me softly delightfully bizarre,
"listen for awhile" you'll become a czar,

 

 

 



MUSIC

I want to be like music... like..
the music heard year after year,
when singing it passes from ear to ear,
in mourning chanted brings cheer to tear,

in...
measures of variation no change in station,
phrases so innate will captivate,
movements frenetic abruptly aesthetic,

I'm just a dotted half hanging by a moment,
Da capo al fine,
back to the beginning and through til' end,
Dal Segno al fine,
show me some sign before the bend?

Nov 02, 2006 ~ Rainbows

There's something beautiful about being able to feel rainbows on cloudy days. To know a heart still palpitates with a blue liquid life while resting inside the pot by one pole. But not everyone can see the midnight blue hue of the vibrance within a heart, instead most see just a mask of mundane, maroon mush, nothing alluring lively and lush. No rush, what cannot be seen immediately can only be experienced in time by those with the curiosity, capacity and courage to climb steps highlighted in imaginary spectrums.

Take a swerve, then cruise across the curve- with enough nerve one will discover the purpose I serve.

xian zai ni yi jing kan bu dao
yu hai mei ting ni jiu cheng san yao zou
shuo ni you xie you yu
ru guo, ru guo, guo hao yi zhen, ni hui bu hui hui lai?

Oct 25, 2006

Out of Sight and Out of Mind

I remember the day... a while ago...
shut my ears, eyes focused on an escape and ran out...

ran down this dark road I was unsure of, but I'd been down ages before.
kept running and wasn't thinking, dark yet safe

safe and out of sight,
I slowed down.

looked down and saw a snail ahead.
passed it up and was determined to leave it behind to reach my destination

the path was barricaded with fences and construction signs
still proceeded and over hurdle-hopped

then the lane came to a drop.
I had wasted all that time trying to take the shortcut escape where no one could follow me...

yet the lane was no longer connected.
now just an old deconstructed walkway...

so close, yet such horrible timing
sighed, eyes turned down and retraced my steps

and I saw him again, the snail, locked in place
I made it back the original way where I would be rediscovered...

every day en route home, through the window, I glance over my right..
to see the newly constructed bridge replacing the walkway from my childhood

and I often wonder. what if I had walked that bridge that one time...

out of sight, out of mind.
i can stop wondering now, I'm walking that bridge forevermore.

Sept 10, 2006 ~ Incoherent poetry spawn on a Sunday morning before dawn...

If we teach a flower how to grow,
we'll find its brilliance quite no-show,

it'll wither its leaves,
get stung by bees,

but then could it still grow?

If I teach a flower how to grow,
I might find myself its foe,

snap open its trap,
fall off of my lap,

just how could I have known?

If you teach a flower how to grow,
don't protect it with Scarecrow,

just watch it soak without a croak,
bask by the oak- please don't poke!

maybe then you'll see it grow...

but
just
maybe
...

If I want to see you grow,
I'll just perch down really low,

to wait for your story,
soon hear your glory,

After tribulation in exaltation
"Holy tarnation what an incarnation"!

tell you that I'll leave you be,
to thrive and grow to infinity.

before you go without my plea,
cast me a shadow before you flee...

then I could follow through your hollow,
and have one gulp less big to swallow.
