You are the best
Acing every single test
Your music, enchanting
Gets us dancing
So versatile, you are
Composing in many a genre
Incomparable, you are
To experiment, you dare
So much, you've achieved
So much, we've learned
Truly the Prince of Indian music
Proud I'm, to be a Harris maniac!

You are the best
Your uniqueness, hard to beat
Almost every melody, a lullaby
You make us feel happy
Whenever we're down in the dumps
Your BGMs give us goosebumps
Your soup songs, pure gold
Your music never gets old!!

You are the best
Those who call you a "copycat"
Are just jealous
Of your incredible success
Your music is here to stay
Come what may
In fact, your best is yet to come
You'll make us all beam
So, keep rocking and keep composing
May you live very very long!!
Dedicated to my favourite Indian music director, Harris Jayaraj.

My soul has lift off,
the slow tempo of
my breath suddenly
boundless

My drums perforate
surrounded by a
universal register of
beats and measures
rolled into a mysterious,
melodic constellation

Dashing across the board
my fingers feverishly frisk
for the keys
of
Mozart, Prokofiev,
Rachmaninoff

With hammers and strings
I scale the sounds
of perfection
while properly perched
in front of
Grandma's Pianola
pretending to be
composed
Childhood memories of my Grandmother's player piano

I had a dream and I was laying on the grass of a football field with a girl. we were just talking. I asked her who her favorite composer was and she replied "Mary lou Williams" I had no idea who that was and had never her that name before, I lean over and say "I have to check her out" she said, "Yeah, we can do that, you'll be in love", she asked me the same, I replied "Alexander Scriabin". She said, "I love his work, he was before his time and completely underrated" That was the first time I felt that feeling. You know that feeling when you don't feel completely different because someone knew what you were talking about... That feeling.

While sitting there, This guy walked onto the field and into the stands and asked if we could listen to him conduct and we said, "yeah". He puts his stand in place, raised his baton and began to tell us that people had called the piece "the Planets" but it wasn't holst, her and I looked at each other, looked at him then closed our eyes while he struck the downbeat to what reminded me of the StarWars opening mixed with Jupiter but Holst. She leaned in and I did the same. My heart was beating so fast... then my grandmother woke me up to tell me that there was still BBQ chicken from last night if was still hungry...  YEP
