"allegro" poems
At an unknown time of night at our cottage in northern Michigan… My younger brother and I heard strange noises coming from the beach again… We looked up at the ceiling and then the window… As the voices from outside, in a lively allegro… Grew softer and louder in repeating crescendos… We skittered out the door and stared in fascination… For what we saw must have been our imagination… The door closed with a creak as our feet hit the grass… It was at that moment we got a look at the mass… Of stubby foot, hunchback creatures from which the sounds had amassed… There was about six of them chanting like a choir… They danced and paraded around our burnt out fire… As we looked on, we saw our fire raise… It got brighter as they lifted their hands in waves… As light betook the blue beach night… A crowd of colorfully masked gremlins caught us in their sights! Their feet slowed to a stop and they quieted down… They stood still as the fire flickered off their weird wooden frowns… One reached out his hand in a come-here motion… They seemed to stand and wait with an encouraging notion… As the fire crackled and the waves tumbled onto the beach… All I can remember, is for the rest of that summer… My younger brother and I served as the drummers… For that quirky marching band of lake sprites… With which our burnt out fire we’d reignite… At an unknown time of night at our cottage in northern Michigan…

At an unknown time of night at our cottage in northern Michigan...
Tempestuous longings from behind the screen of life’s moving picture You stare back at me, in a glimmering, shimmering afterthought Laid low by foregoing passion In a moment’s torrid glimpse from our hollow reflections Fragrant evenings during seasons of filming Solemnly captured and revised then experienced The all encompassing struggle with context and setting Abides a steely night, in the rustle of autumn branches Requiem for an unremitting beloved! Sung in the valley between piercing peaks of sorrow She floats through the scene as distinct aura and vague essence An embrace from the trail of vapors and misspent gestures All emanating from a glass of cider beneath nostrils Gracefully, you embank on the wind of time’s shadow And nudge my cheek with impetus and vigor Lashing out at my skin in ambivalent revelry As if my follicles were vacuous caverns Catching the callous moments which flutter the ***** of hillside tents The unearthly gusts of banality extinguish the projector’s gleam While nature embodies your beauty furthermore Toward the end of the pathway And the credits of the film And the allegro of the score And the solitude of eternity And the rustling of the branches

I’m lost in Rome, all the roads have brought me here. I’m searching for home, Holding a picture of it near. I step into the metronome, I enter with an identity in my pockets. I speak to the garden gnome, He’s asking if I’d like to buy a silver locket. At a legato tempo, 10. The metronome keeps ticking.                                                                 My lips only stay chapped, Simply because I won’t stop licking them. “I’m looking for the Lucky Fix. The Shaved Jaguar told me this is the place.” The Gnome haggles me up in my face, “Oh please, I know all the old tricks! I now control your brain stem. You have a long way to go! You’ve been trapped!” At an Allegro tempo; 20. The Metronome keeps tocking. On the stage, The Kangaroos are still kick-boxing. Breaking free of their cage, The only price is to make you dance. “I seek to barter for some potions", They want to know, "So Why have I been cursed?” The Hooting Owl, offers them a grand notion. “Keeping thinking that and you might just burst.” 30.The metronome stops on the off-beat, . “Where is the Lucky Fix?” I began to grow impatient! “Don’t you first need your feet? Your priorities need to be layered bricks. Your addiction to gratification will lead you to defeat! You can find the matches in the Fire Station. I know some of the tricks. That’s a good place to start.” The Goblins are looking for the heart. 40. With a Presto Tempo You must reset the Metronome. TJW 2013 .

Symphony No.9 in d – minor, opus 125 Allegro ma non troppo The silence gives way gently to quiet tremolos rustling beneath the beckoning call of distant horns. A melodic cell, nascent in violins, spirals down to the somber depths of cello and contrabass. A sudden cataclysm shakes the hall like thunder heralding our universal birth. Gales of sonic force splashed like turbulent waves against the rocky shores. Drifting sans glass or sextant on a sea of expanding mystery, we gaze to the heavens in hopes for a glimpse of our father’s aetherial dwelling. Molto vivace With hands intertwined, we dance in a ring to the capricious airs of the laughing gods with Zeus himself on timpani. So pass the wine and kiss your neighbor and fill your glass to the brim! For today is yesterday’s morrow and tomorrow’s history. Adagio molto e cantabile There is no greater and more healing light than the candles that shine in the eyes of a friend or loving spouse -   tenderly lighting our paths through the storms and fogs that cloud our lives. Peace abides in a friend's embrace. An die Freude Against raging storms of strife and sorrow. we hear a healing voice A calm cello hymn - that migrates up to higher cords of violas and violins - breaking into joyous song sung by trumpets, winds and drums. Casting all shrillness of discord aside, a baritone lines out Schiller’s ode - and sings of Elysium’s daughter.   Quartet and chorus enter in proclaiming hope for the human family, A tenor raises a stein to valor in the company of his friends. The quiet pulsing of horns and winds ushers in torrents of ecstasy. Arms clasped in communal embrace, we gaze to heaven on bended knees then rise with a majestic fugue that illuminates our souls like a blazing Alpine dawn. In a cyclone of passion, Schiller's words and Beethoven's notes entreat us to restore what custom has rent apart that each of us may live our lives as brothers in heavenly sanctuary. May 25, 2007

I can still feel your touch Your kisses You...... You play my body to A perfect consonance Harmoniously plucking chord sequences out along my shape Sweet music singing through my conscious as you take me on this mystical journey Exploring my form with practiced artistry Softly strumming my senses into an allegro of exaltation A hedonistic fusion of bass notes felt deep inside, pulsing, stroking, pushing me towards a sublime cadence Quietly holding me in adagio while A delicate symphony plays within my skin (C) Pixievic

Cried the navy-blue ghost Of Mr. Belaker The allegro ***** cocktail-shaker, "Why did the **** crow, Why am I lost, Down the endless road to Infinity toss'd? The tropical leaves are whispering white As water; I race the wind in my flight. The white lace houses are carried away By the tide; far out they float and sway. White is the nursemaid on the parade. Is she real, as she flirts with me unafraid? I raced through the leaves as white as water... Ghostly, flowed over the nursemaid, caught her, Left her...edging the far-off sand Is the foam of the sirens' Metropole and Grand; And along the parade I am blown and lost, Down the endless road to Infinity toss'd. The guinea-fowl-plumaged houses sleep... On one, I saw the lone grass weep, Where only the whimpering greyhound wind Chased me, raced me, for what it could find." And there in the black and furry boughs How slowly, coldly, old Time grows, Where the pigeons smelling of gingerbread, And the spectacled owls so deeply read, And the sweet ring-doves of curded milk Watch the Infanta's gown of silk In the ghost-room tall where the governante Gesticulates lente and walks andante. 'Madam, Princesses must be obedient; For a medicine now becomes expedient-- Of five ingredients--a diapente, Said the governante, fading lente... In at the window then looked he, The navy-blue ghost of Mr. Belaker, The allegro ***** cocktail-shaker-- And his flattened face like the moon saw she-- Rhinoceros-black (a flowing sea!).

Four in the Morning
I am a musician. I do not write. I compose. I can tell you the tempo of my heart And how it shifts from adagio to allegro When I see your face. How the crescendo of your smile Creates a symphony in my mind. How the lilts of your voice are melodies I will never forget. I am a musician. I am not a poet. I cannot compare thee to a summer's day But what I can do is compare you to a piece of complete harmony And consonance. I can tell you the names of the chords you strike through my veins When you look me in the eyes. I cannot turn words into poetry or love But I can sing you love songs until my voice runs dry. I am a musician. I cannot write. I can strum you like a guitar and make you hum. I can make you sing sweet melodies when I run my fingers down your spine. I can tell you how cacophonous my life is without you. I can tell you how the melody in a monophonic composition feels When you're gone. I can feel the syncopation when we are in a fight. I am a musician. I am not a poet. I cannot put into words how I feel about you. But I can sure as hell try In this word sonata of thoughts.

I Am A Musician
Silken ribbons lacing dainty ankles toes snug within slippers in first position she nods her head for the music to begin  breathing a deep breath, ready to audition    Vibrations dance through out the floor her frail body flows with such grace with an arabesque she looks into the crowd hides her nervousness, with the smile upon her face   As pirouettes sync with the allegro tempo into a grande jete she soars through the air though her leg gives, she falls with broken pins an elegant bun lands as unraveled hair   Breathing deep breaths, her heart beat races while seeping into the floor she rests her head on are the tears of failure forming a lake  around the broken winged beauty, a fallen swan   Her shattered dreams unlace defeated slippers for she has cried out all of her ambition to be a prima ballerina, now never to curtsy with ankles chained in fear locked in first position.

Locked In First Position
Movement no.1 Andante con moto Farewell. I am leaving you with the sweetness and the sadness of every creature on this earth draped over my shoulders as a shroud We rest now before the final struggle looking down upon our lives from a precipice The wind calls up a faint sound a song of healing as resignation So bring forth the dirge let dogs and oboes cue the horns as we embark upon a tender struggle We are whipped back and forth between grief and glory in this life an indifferent life lush with raw power But thankfully at the end of every day there is sleep. Movement no. 2 Im tempo eines gemächlichen Ländlers. Etwas täppisch und sehr derb. Dance returns and goes mad Who could lift a leg that high?   Not I. The music careens off the walls in a dissonant minuet of the hours The clenched teeth of each and every minute grind here as if time itself took heel and made a sparkling trace across the pines of this exalted floor of dance. Movement no. 3 Rondo Burleske: allegro assai. Sehr trotzig. A music major's delight. Fugues against fugues. Dense contrapuntal figures and sarcastic counterpoint shouting out from the back of the class. And then just love confused perhaps but real love indeed. Movement no. 4 Sehr langsam und noch zurüclhaltend The violin noblest of instruments takes its place In bitter sorrow life soon lost the fruit of the tree is extinguished the promise of green days burned by drought All is withheld. There is peace at the end but no joy the abyss is only silence and a taut string connecting us to eternity.

It is you whom I love today. I love you with all my loves. Frida Kahlo screaming gold and exulting light I betrayed the sunset today still life without promises the city there comes that tone again in the storehouses of flesh where life dreams itself you’ve colonized me with hate and desire unstable tempo my eyes blind like a storm without wind I disfigured some light today its unpretended beauty no paradox not even a surprise I fall for these wounds, your burden the taste of failure the panic of not knowing the trembling of your feet no need for signifying something for an ending or a touch there is love without desire desire without love you can call me crazy if this is all you can say at the end of the day

allegro ma non troppo
Dancing on the stage bathed in ultra violet is a dripping young honey making me ultra-violent. My three stooges become scrooges using ***** useless excuses to not be Zeus's and noose the spruce for their collusive abuses. I leave the troupe, loop back, snoop, try to ****** induce some juice, a little loose chartreuse The girl looks down from the platform, eyes vacant and hollow Ten years of this storm full of snake-pits and sorrow No glow but the glint of a nose speckled with snow Her heartbeat allegro slows, lower tempo - adagio For she's hooked to the pole by an IV of ******* and circumstance I regret holding the cash and stealing her glance. It falls from my hand, not that thats exculpatory and when I next catch her eyes, it's merely to say, 'sorry'

it is done
I learned all about paralysis when I found myself waking, cheek pressed against the wetness of a blank journal page, aching with the stifled screams of my unvoiced muse. Perhaps it was the cold hand of my nightmare that shook me awake, Vulnerability- who carried himself in vain and laced his gaze with the severity of a thousand swords bracing for impact, framed with the familiar mask of the Joker- whom I have become. Crippled by a force almost demonic which hovered my thoughts over paper close enough to almost feel them come alive, yet distant enough to watch them disintegrate from the rooftops and collect as a *** of torment stuck permanently in the part of my throat I could not bear to swallow. To unravel like the peel of a summer tangerine, lying exposed- cool air breathing under naked skin I have taught myself to shelter from the judgment of bitter eyes and words put together only to criticize. but in visions I see a girl, dark eyes and charcoal hair spilling over paper covered in pretty penmanship and she is fearless- hand dancing along to the symphony of her thoughts, staccato beats and Allegro! her passion encompasses more than just ink on lines, you can see them echo and reverberate fragmented poetry through the channels of her veins and it is so evident- she is free. and for her, my dream expands further and I begin to unravel words stuck trapped under thick orange skin and invisible walls designed to shelter, exposing myself to him- my nightmare, and the retinas coated effortlessly in judgment and I am reborn today rather than tomorrow, eyes a little brighter and this time, I awaken to the aroma of new beginnings.

Crippled by a force almost demonic which hovered my thoughts over paper close enough to almost feel them come alive, yet distant enough to watch them disintegrate from the rooftops and collect as a *** of torment stuck permanently in the part of my throat I could not bear to swallow. To unravel like the peel of a summer tangerine, lying exposed- cool air breathing under naked skin I have taught myself to shelter from the judgment of bitter eyes and words put together only to criticize. but in visions I see a girl, dark eyes and charcoal hair spilling over paper covered in pretty penmanship and she is fearless- hand dancing along to the symphony of her thoughts, staccato beats and Allegro! her passion encompasses more than just ink on lines, you can see them echo and reverberate fragmented poetry through the channels of her veins and it is so evident- she is free. and for her, my dream expands further and I begin to unravel words stuck trapped under thick orange skin and invisible walls designed to shelter, exposing myself to him- my nightmare, and the retinas coated effortlessly in judgment and I am reborn today rather than tomorrow, eyes a little brighter and this time, I awaken to the aroma of new beginnings.

"I'll let you in on a secret. Will you promise to keep it?" He is... *The allegro of every moment's decresendo. The sense of deja vù, in a series de novo. The lyrics of my song, The right to my wrong. The notes in my music, The wisdom in what i believe. The reminders on my board, The message of these words. The image in a scenery, The metaphors of my poetry. The giggle in my laugh, The memories of my photographs. The smile in my tears, The courage to face my fears. The North star in my sky. The only truth in all the world lies. The flame of my fire. Every second of my hours, My very reason for living. The secret i held inside my heart. Secured away. Secluded. His presence-- Justify my existence.* (Don't tell him, what he doesn't know or he might...)

What He Does Not Know
Welcome to the Adagio of my Soul, Where that slow, slow, sad and sweet melody Drags me ever deeper and deeper below, As demons and monsters in panoply Frolic, full of cheer, in the blazing abyss. Salute, from the Allegro of my Mind, That dreadfully cheerful, quickening time; The one that comes when burnt bridges I find All around me, as insanity's rhyme Taunts me terribly, all my world's amiss. Enter the Fortissimo of my Heart, While it screams out loud, oh so silently, To its love, desperately wanting part, The slimmest, smallest of portions to be Returned in kind, brush of the lips, a kiss. End.  Pianissimo of my Body. Lost love, burnt bridges, demon and monster, Surround me. Overwhelm me.  Defeat me. I lay alone.  The music grows quieter. The song of my life, comes now to but this...

The Ruinous Concert of Life
Presto, with haste, bring forth the measure, striking sound to create. Allegro, with grace, flow forth like a river, beauty in God's eternal round. Moderato, with taste, medium to the greats, note upon note, slowly mounting. Andante, with slackened pace, venerable vineyard of sound, sing forth, no appeasement for the proud. Adagio, with measured blow, The Hammer on anvil, ring out your chord, the tonic repeats below. Presto, cantabile, homunculus, the human voice, Stradivari sings to us.

Presto Cantabile
I'm in love with a girl And she's summer Indigo, violet and mauve I'm in a romance A symphony Andante, allegro, presto I'm spinning in passion A mystery One in body and soul I'm on a journey A destiny And tears are Making me whole

She's Summer
The lights are dim, conductor bears the brunt, So now ten weeks’ hard work to entertain. Allegro molto at the starting gate, My tuning fork and pipe right here in front. But choir’s five songs are causing my descent. Their off-key pitch a momentary slide; So harmful do I find it to my pride That autoharp and banjo I will rent. If music I don’t wish to circumvent And tracks or melodies to take in stride, Then practice every day til I’m bug-eyed! Perfection is the prize self-evident. No tuba player’s yawn will stop the train, Nor second movement snores encores abate! The lights are dim, conductor bears the brunt, So now ten weeks’ hard work to entertain. Allegro molto at the starting gate, My tuning fork and pipe right here in front. © Lewis Bosworth, 2018

Deranged Musicale
Since you have already plucked my heart strings, let us make music together. Whisper to me at night, in syllable serenades that I will only half remember on waking. Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, until my tongue can stand it no more and I must speak in symphonies. Touch me delicately, tickle my ribs until they become piano keys, and play them until they cry out chords that spell your name. Let your laughter be trills in our cadenzas. Let the pop of your knee drive a march to my bed. Let me run my fingers up your spine, jumping vertebrae like octaves, from your tip to your toes. Let my every shuddered breath be but syncopation to the bass drum of your heart. Be quiet with me, let us play in piano, soft as silence or sleep. Stay there, linger for as long as the fermata holds. And then, let us raise our voices together, glorious crescendos upon crescendos, until at last we can build no longer, and return together to the tonic. Run your hands across my hips, play my longing in liquid legato strokes, effortless in your endeavors. Touch me again. Let our gasps play counterpoint to the melodies of our moans. Take what you will of me, fill me with song, write sheet music in my lungs, so that every breath I draw sings on its way out. Purse your lips and kiss me like embouchure. Give me every quaver, every semitone, every holy harmony. Leave me buzzing vibrato, kiss me con brio. Let me caress your delicate curves, as though you were a violin made flesh. If my temperament be just, then play on. And let us be of one form, sonata-allegro, until we must be jazz. And then we shall burn the world with passion, with chords no one knows but us. So, for the sake of recapitulation, I must ask again: let us make music together.

First saw you when you're in Music Hero You played your guitar in a way of allegro Your contact with the audience was remarkable Performance of yours indulge unspeakable Until I end up admiring you unstoppable Finding you more attractive was agreeable Oh, how I wish to see you personally But the reality hits me clearly I know, I may inactive fan often But your name won't ever be forgotten Louise, it was you that my mind seeks It was really your name my mouth speaks When my ears started hearin' what others say I wouldn't listen maybe I fall away Truly your the boy I admire from afar It was the distance that separates us afar.
