Ostinato

Grace Pickard
Constant
From the cue of entrance
Through the chaotic ink splashes
And the measures of rest
A part of us keeps this rhythm
Strung clear and precise
Mysteriously, wandering throughout
We pass around the chore
Until the final chord is drawn

But we survive
In the minds of our audience,
Forever trying to grasp hold of
Our fleeting orchestral heart beat:
Ostinato
An entrance cue in orchestra would be a breath. I like to relate music to life/the human body, in this poem my body is associated with an orchestra because orchestras preform as a single unit. Also, an ostinato is a repeated rhythm... Which in this case is my heart beating.

He touched her soul
oddly making her
feel whole

Her dreams fulfilled

The gentle breeze
reminding her of
his caress that teased
across her body

Beauty
blossoms
within her

Yes, dreams fulfilled
as her ghost lover
whispers
of his love

THE LEARNING
 Nov 2014 e

I LEARNED TO RUN WHEN I WAS YOUNG
FROM A WORLD OF EVIL, AND THEN SOME
THROUGH WICKED SKIES THAT STAINED THE NIGHT'S
I TORE THE FABRIC TO PEEP THE SIGHT

GATHERING SHADOWS WATCHING ME BLEED
FLASHES OF PHANTOMS WHO LONG TO FEED
WITHIN THOSE NIGHTS MY SIGHT WAS FORMED
WITHIN THOSE NIGHTS MY HEART WAS TORN

Always,
Find a reason,
To love,
To laugh,
To be kind,
For it may not,
Add years,
To your life,
But surely,
Add life to your years.

Make your life,
Worth living for!

NIGHT POET'S
 Nov 2014 e
Traveler
Have you ever seen a ghost
Home alone at night
Have you ever seen the world
Through clear nocturnal sight

Have you ever peered through darkness
To see the other side
Have you ever felt such acceptance
Beneath a moon lit sky?

We define things which others cannot describe
We hear the whispers from the other side
Restless voices
Spirits in the wind
So safe and sound
At least we pretend

The days shall we rest
The nights we shall roam
The creeps be no longer creepy
The night becomes our throne
Traveler Tim

I know
a man
with dirt
on his clothes
that
people avoid
wherever
he goes
he carries
a shovel
and everyone
knows
whenever he
digs
an epitaph
grows.

I am not fragile
But I am vulnerable
Loving makes me so.

Fear is a foe
That only those who truly love
Will ever really know.
