"capella" poems
Sweeter than the song of a nightingale  Gentler than the whisper of a spring wind Quieter than the murmur of  summer  grass  Softer than the symphony of hyacinths  Hypnotic like the splash of blue seas Tinkling like a stream that flows  Mesmerizing like the cadence of rain  Enchanting like the hush  of snow  Like the faint breath of a scarlet dawn  The rustle of clouds on a turquoise high  A duet of  night and an ivory moon A Capella of  stars in the sky A hymn, a chant, a choir of angels  Singing  on a rainbow of time  Celestial is the serenade of love   A tune and a note divine.

A Serenade Of Love
The chao phraya river song by: David Wayne Clare Down by the River (echo-ee, a Capella) Down by the River (echo-ee, a Capella) Down By the River, don't dive in, them sharks are real-damn-mean but, that's where you'll find me... along with buzzards, ******** and kumoi dope fiends... Chorus we love that ***** water ... oh oh oh Bangkok, Thailand; you're my home ! now... oriental Asian Ladies, Thailand's **** Siam queens I dig them slant-eyed ****** them sticky cat-faced chicks on Soi 13! (Miami Hotel) cause they love that ***** water ... oh oh oh Bangkok, Thailand; you're my home ! (Harmonica Solo) You'll find me trashed one morning (smashed!) Iced-down in China Town; all crying alone... One day I'll never leave here (Lord!) Unless an Esan Girl might claim me for her own... 'cause I love that ***** water ... oh oh oh Bangkok, Thailand; you're my home ! Refrain Chao Phraya River, Chao Phraya River... Chao Phraya River, Chao Phraya River... Buddha!

Chao Phraya River
buhay natin ay ano nga ba? kung walang lagyo ang musika kagaya ng isang A capella ang bawat simula ay may kataposan ngunit sa bawat kataposan ay may panibagong simulain isang prinsipyo na di kayang tuldokan isang nakaraan na di mapaparam sapagkat ito ay binantasan ng tandang pandamdam! kaya naman halina kayo SAGLIT samahan ako sa pasakalye ng aking DALIT dahil tulad ninyo...di ko rin nais na wakasan itong himno ng aking kaluluwa na di ko mapigilan mailapat sa papel ng aking hapag sulatan at marubdob na papangyarihin ang taos-pusong koalisyon ng aking Pag-asa, Pananampalataya at Debosyon sa pamamagitan ng aking Isang Libo't isang Awit na pinapag-sanib ng samot-saring kudlit at kuwit hanggang sa aking maabot ang liwanag sa dilim at kayo ay aking handogan bago ang takip-silim

**"His mind would never romp again like the mind of God." The Great Gatsby** Does he fret, Does he sweat, Does he pay his bills On Time, Even tho his personal stash Of anything, Inexhaustible and He bills himself? Is he lonely, So when he romps, His greatest pleasure is Inventing new kinds of pain? Does he like to watch butter Snowmelt, Does he turn the honey jar Upside down Because viscosity is A turn on? Is he lonely? Of course he is, Is that why he endlessly Tinkers with creative destruction? Does he put strawberry jam On his watermelon? Salt on his wounds, Caramelized onions in his Cologne and parfumes? Does he watch reruns? The bombing of Dresden, Hiroshima? The shaving of the heads of the French women? What's his fav. late night host, When he can't sleep And. his damaged dreams Become our unfortunate realities? Acting childish, a métier, So he can scold himself? Does he keep score, Ever say no more, Contemplate suicide, Or just murdering his sons? Did he kiss Shakespeare's lips, Or just his fingertips? Does he sing a Capella With Holly and Cooke, Let Beethoven play rock n' roll? What is he best excuse For playing with Tormented souls, Making so many wonderful things Forbidden fruit? Does he worship regularly at the altar? Irony his faith and skin his vestments? Are his twisted straight, His late, early? His order disordered and when bored, Does he just close his eyes and Let us live in peace?

Some Haiku
It was raining really hard, I’m standing under an empty shed And the sky wasn’t starred, Seemed like all the lights were dead You came under the umbrella, With your face neither happy nor sad I looked up hoping to see the Capella, But still the sky seemed mad Slowly, I glanced at you, I caught you staring at me Then the wind hardly blew, The freezing rain fell free Suddenly, the shower stopped You smiled, I blushed Overwhelmed, my gaze dropped, And everything around hushed Then lights started flickering, I thought they were the stars But no, they weren’t shimmering, The fireflies were ours

friends of friends and an **** of mutuality every one ripe for the ******* until we greedily eat our own tails I find myself running low on chemistry with so little reaction left inside of me the water around the plug hole no longer spins, it only falls architectural wounds cannot heal beneath this razor’s murderous haste while the cognisant weak and a capella apes deform the silent comedy of a shared space once straight tempers and scorpion kindness highball an unhappy taste, leaving who to speak for the ordinary host? the functionaries’ short practice infects the martyr’s hurried hair between the principal route and the settling irons

Good Morning, Sweetheart
. I lay down on a bed of petals I lay down on the flowers scent I lay down on a bed of petals I saw my Spirit and where it went I lay down on a mossy carpet I lay down on the forest floor I lay down on a mossy carpet I feel my Spirit was here before I lay down on an icy glacier I lay down on the frozen ground I lay down on an icy glacier I know my Spirit can be found.

The Struggle (Cats and Dogs)
once when we were speaking candidly in the car or maybe at breakfast I told you how much I love the you that comes out at night in your room, the Bogeyman beneath your glasses who leaps out of the shadows and, like a ravenous beast, topples me over to devour my tasty flesh — you shrugged at my suggestion and I wondered if it ever occurred to you that your lust simmers so near the surface on those nights that smell so heavily of *** — when I asked if you noticed any Bogeyman in me, you only admitted that I become more “blunt”, not commanding, necessarily, but straight-forward and concise — it makes me think of those shivering nights without clothes when we haven’t made it beneath the covers yet as something like a ritual where we shed our daily roles and put on those of the beast and his master, where I conquer you and clean up your spoils, leaving only a slick orange sweater and a hasty a capella symphony, a prelude to sweet and somber slumber.

Science is the understanding that nothing is lost, But everything winds down. There is no beauty in science, some said, no art. I refused: Some, God, silent doctor waiting at the door- I refuse. There is only this tragic struggle: Your heart, carrying all the implications Of a watch left in desert, must eventually fail to keep time. *I would know why the stitches that wound our heels, Blossoms of Achilles, are the heart’s most desperate gestures.* I want to look at your heart, hearts. Aspiring a capella, The down-singing choir in my hand, your heart reveals. First, I must understand the laws of motion, Wave-forms, cryptic anatomy of silence and not-silence, Only in your mind, your body is a law unto itself. First, the Archaea, frustrating enigma that never speaks. “Where did you come from?” I asked. You smiled, as if I were asking *Who of us is more than water? Why aren’t the stars alive?* Selfishly, our endosymbiosis called its questions as demands. *How can this work? You look like someone I knew before… I want. You cannot leave.* I must submit to examination. The machine will tell us if my heart speaks in murmurs, But not if I am heavier than a feather, Not if we did or didn’t know what we were doing. You invited me in, and it was raining so I stayed. We violated the lens, spoke too longingly of light. You saw the defined spaces between the foam. In a tangle of bed linens, I dreamed of pulsing Farandolae, Paired for synapsis, migrating to the metaphase plate, Ripped from sound’s embrace by their reluctant roots. I will be vaccinated against harm, but not shadows, not time.

On The Great Lawn of my mind, The city's biggest dance floor, Upon its cushions, stepping lightly, The spring breeze, feeling its way, Making, reawakening, a thousand acquaintances, Absent parent kissing each long-lost babe-blade of grass Breeze takes each blade of spring grass: Cajoles, asks not, With windy hands, guided missiles, gentle/firm push/pull engage/ disengages, open/closes Breeze makes each one Neck, caress their neighbor, A thousand pas de deuces of fresh faced green children. All in all a triumphant processional, Cloaked in robes of sky blue velvet, Crowned by the sun's burnt orange kisses. At the middle school dance, The walls are portrait painted with the shy ones, The ones-who-don't-know-how-to-ask. Passover's children Needy for a Moses. Student of the spring breezes, This silly earnest teacher/chaperone, Grand-pa-rent will: Cajole, ask not, With hands, guided missiles, gentle/firm push/pull engage/ disengages, open/closes Under his tutelage, Every boy and girl A dancer, a blade, Each a Passenger on the fuselage Of his Spring Ballroom breeze. These are my spring rites imagined, Visions of my sight unimpaired, Present and future clarified. Soon we will teach our own Little Princes and Princesses, The shelter of dancing, Feel the embrace of nature, Under the mantle of an A Capella choir of tree leaves, We will lie side by side, Skyward pointing, Sharing our spring-sprung imaginings, Performing each and all Upon the breeze to carry away, For all to gleeful applaud!

Drove 75 miles each way To see Colbie Callait, Somewhere in Connecticut, That was back In 2009, Maybe 2010, Maybe 2011. Enjoyed it immensely, Other than The only thing Older than me At the concert Was the building It was held in. And everybody at work made fun of me. Took my woman Downtown to the   High Line Ballroom A few years back, Edwin McCain, He sang I'll Be. It was fine, Other than I was the tallest person Standing on line. Last year Danced on a conga line Led by Pink Martini, At Carnegie Hall. Ain't embarrassed to admit, They dragged me from my front row seat, Kicking n' screaming, Hope nobody was videotaping! At the Beacon on Broadway, Saw Paul Simon and Straight No Chaser, And I would do it again in a A Capella second. This year, High up at Lincoln Center, Overlooking Central Park and My city sparkling, Saw Ingrid Michaelson singing, It's OK. She was giggling, Cause it was so fun, for her, To act so grown up. Her parents and sisters Even came to see her. Sometime ago saw Marc Cohn, singing, Don't remember when, don't recall, Walking in Memphis, Even tho both of us were at City Center on West Forty Third Street. At the City Winery, In NoHo Don Felder did Hotel California, Went to the backstage partee Cause I was around when he first penned it, When he was still part of the Eagles. For an old geezer, Born in 1901, I'm pretty cool, Despite the occasional mistake. But I know better than to go to see Justin Bieber, Way too cool for that, So those ticket to Taylor Swift, Ripped, Having never seen the light of day, I think I even pretended to Throw them away...

(A capella) The room's gettin kinda crowded I think they heard our sound check I can seem them craning their necks to see who's next they want a set that wrecks were happy to provide, come on step inside the light we'll take you for a ride and we're smiling like we're on trial for our lives it's a good day to die but tonight we feel alive (FUNKY **** and it's wild how they've got us chasing fires through the night in the absence of light with music, we search for sight they're reaching for the supreme dream the currency, the cream but we resisted the feeling and we rage against machines and we blow off ceilings "Lil c" and the Tree and me, we three teach with beats and melodies and bass lines we shine our light for those who are blinded and we raise our voices for those who stay silent dying to live so to live we're dying but to be honest most of these faces are two-sided it's the pride inside that won't let me hide my shine trying to find a sound in this town i can call mine but i'm feeling fine, waiting for my time just walking the line in the sunshine chasing a feline, this a summertime rhyme but i'm ducking rainy days like Cassius Clay Stinging like Ali, laying waste in this place today fade away? heck, we haven't begun to blaze today but maybe today's the day to light up the stage let me see, Tree can these people hear you slay (FUNKY BASS **** but just remember, there'll always be Haters in every pack they'd stab you in the back soon as they'd help you off the tracks whatever helps them stack faster, or puts their name on the plaque (map) but we'll be rockin til this all fades into black with bass...(FUNKY BASS **** and drums...(FUNKY DRUM **** and a kid on a mic (ALL THREE) we designed this curtain call for ya'll, we hope you like it (JUST ME) now listen to this beat hit just right to-nite (CRAZY FUNKY ****

the radio echoes noiselessly off lives lost too soon dreams left for dead people die everyday I only blink move on perhaps turn up the volume staring at blank pages they burn and twist taunting while the words won't come out and the women won't go out they scorn the piano player while dancing to the music it makes no sense no music no women they dance and dance each with their own set of teeth of claws only hope to make it out alive the door opens and the door closes it won't stay shut the piano player scorned in the corner while the women dance and dance and laugh while all dreams bring paradise just out of reach while the dead still die still die and the words won't come out the music cuts off and the women still dance as if there was no sound to begin with no sound no sense no music no women only blank pages burning and twisting and the piano player scorned in the corner and the words won't come out the words won't come out anymore

The Pods
Walked into the bathroom, expecting to see the room crammed with girls screeching, smiling at me, checking their foundation and wondering why hasn't he flirted with me yet? Instead, all that's left is the ten posters taped on the wall with stock photos of black skirts telling me the difference between wrong or long. Yeah, there are no more mornings of waking up to the sound of A Capella hymns and kids I've never met laughing at things I've never said before no more 5 'o clock practices full of winces, trips, laughing, sweating, and thinking no more 7:30 pm concerts where my heart bounces around like a dead animal no control left, and I'm running in the halls wearing black and white, but thinking gray no more taco bell runs right after, when I'm getting cinnamon sugar on my skirt and counting measures in my head. And certainly no more days of just sitting on the bleachers my head and heart too full of sputters of laughter to worry about whether my melody is correct.
