"harmonizing" poems
*He’s no musician. He doesn't make melodies through violin and guitar strings. Yet he composed, haunting ballads in dramatic tempos, Rhyming every lyric, Harmonizing, making it dance in a musical euphony. He’s no seamster. Yet he cuts and he traces, plain words and printed phrases; Then he sews and he weaves it skilfully, into a lovely concrete poetry. He’s no painter. He just has a palette of pigmented letters, splashing colorful lines on his blank canvass. A blast of contained evocative memories, Streaking and shading mixtures of kaleidoscopic imagery. He’s no storyteller. Yet from him, I heard the most romantic tales- One, of the moon and its lover sea. Reciprocating shy glances, whispering I love you’s, while kissing behind the sprawling mountains. Though the dawn will come, they do not fear. For after the majestic tribal sun leaves his stage, There’ll the lovers be once again reunited. He's no poet. Yet he writes-- stanzas and verses. And oh! it revives, every strand of emotion, every sense of intuition, Inside me. A lyrical perception, Sheer perfection, Arousing perpetual reactions, From me.*

He's no Poet
The gentle tone of her teaching, In wonderous melodies, orchestral knowledge from a sweet teacher, Education set by the awareness of harmonizing, delicate instruments, Wisdom and foresight, cast by no other judgement but of a conductor, Whomst hand leads to the ups and downs of the intensity, recognised Ensembling in the beauty of a sinfonietta, sounds flows uninterrupted Let the singing pendulum to your mistress's pleasure fall to the bottom, attached to the chipped illusionists mask of anticipation! To this dance the mascarade does not crack in the shadow of sound, A wise scholar would not sacrifice one topic relevant to learn to the passing time, to her students unfortune that is, cast in pure grief, A wise conductor does the same with musical notes, the story flows, With the moon high in the sky, time stands in her way, questioning her to dance with the devil amongst a distorted, whicked dark, But resillient to the end, tough and with no distraction taking her focus the director of this event finishes the creation of art, an orchestra A craftwoman of tempo and elegance always stands out after all, bringing the musical score to life. ~ Umi

Maestra
If I could be beside you in this moment I'd gather all the stars suspended over California and shove them in a bottle that they would cast a gentle glow to bathe our bodies as we lie asleep, arms entangled with ourselves blissful lips within each other's reach hearts beating synchronized, harmonizing, adding to the euphony of euphoria, the anthem of togetherness.

Longing
YOUR bony head, Jazbo, O dock walloper, Those grappling hooks, those wheelbarrow handlers, The dome and the wings of you, ****** The red roof and the door of you, I know where your songs came from. I know why God listens to your, "Walk All Over God's Heaven." I heard you shooting craps, "My baby's going to have a new dress." I heard you in the cinders, "I'm going to live anyhow until I die." I saw five of you with a can of beer on a summer night and I listened to the five of you harmonizing six ways to sing, "Way Down Yonder in the Cornfield." I went away asking where I come from.

The Kiss Poison Long lasting Stinging Loveliness. A moment Lasting Forever Yet So quick. Hearts Beating Throbbing Fluttering. Lips Tangled Locked Harmonizing. Minds Fuzzy Confused Yet definite. Bodies Warm Close Touching. Memories Existant Looming Forgotten. The Kiss ~S.C. Kelley

The Kiss
He is the sun to the lonely sky, She is the wild wolf of the night. A quiver in hand and a bow on back, She makes her way while leading the pack. Harmonizing to the tunes of the golden lyre, He is the God whom all admire. With the silver bow and the golden sword, Defeating the Python he forged his path forward. Apollo is the light to this glooming world, Artemis is the moon-light that glowed and burned. The twins of Zeus both fierce and strong, Through different destinies stayed together all along. The Goddess of the hunt walks with pride, While the God of Poetry lives to enlight. Medicine mixes together with wild, When the sun and moon in the cosmos align.

The Heirs of Zeus
I can feel the loneliness deep inside the half-shaped moon, stripped, scorched, destroyed, shifting, scrambled diction, hazy nonfiction, drifting consonants and vowels lingering in meaningless frames, confined in a sleepless state, searching for its missing outer being to make it complete, quivering in solemnness, struggling for freedom and perfection, conflicting science crumbling without reason, evaporating equations swallowed into unfamiliar places, sunken history tumbling into the depths of the abyss, disconnected from the great milky clouds and glorious sun, its wandering metaphors hovering in some unknown distant kingdom, in the depths of a solitary dungeon, dying of its creative invention, broken sounds sluggishly surfacing for air, fading shadows seeping further out into the inner wave of Saturn, its decaying reflection changing between time and space, rising and falling in forgotten eternities, declining in rhyme and harmonizing patterns, as shattered lovers diminish apart from one another, locked away in frigid and featureless mazes, drowned galaxies floating in sinking outer spaces, vivid blackness surrounding its sunken design, lost languages falling apart into split and hidden dimensions, swimming in stuttering syllables across the crimson seas.

Loneliness Inside The Moon
Contrapuntal — adjective, Music. - pertaining to counterpoint. - composed of two or more relatively independent melodies sounded together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If we set this site poetic to music, there would be two contrapuntal melodies. A harmony of disharmony, met and matched by a single refrain, a harmonizing voice meeting the needs of the sopranos, the altos. the low of the lowest basso. I am in love, life painting me beautiful. The dawn is cracking, opening my heart with love. *I am a heartbroken shell, in a living hell of neverending. There is no light in my bed at night, bulb broken.* Let's write of joy, celebrate reunification, singularity, of our place, our happy collision, our universal location. For where you are, I exist, no where else. *Less than nothing,   gave and given in, found a lost plateau where there is no substance, only pieces of broke, pieces of ache, pieces of brown glass* I live you. I die you. There is but one color, and it is the color of us. There is but one color, and it is colorless. There is one vow for two, the vow is one! Keeping it, natural, easy, time is unrecorded, forever is immeasurable. *There are no vows ever kept, only lies, passing promises of vanity. Never is the only time that can be recorded.* A new world symphony that never ends. What then the unifying refrain uniting joy and pain? Write it down. Write it up. Write it and believe. We will listen, and care, having been there, both ways, both sides now we are write alongside you.

Flavored hukkas are passed around, Alcohol and paan bring the mehfil alive, The Ustad ji sits down and flexes his fingers, He knows he’ll be working all night. Dha dhin dhin dha, dha dhin dhin dha Na tin tin ta Ta dhin dhin dha, Move the Ustad ji’s fingers on the tabla. While with a veil on her face, And feet dipped in and henna-colored, Lips in cheap red lipstick covered, She unfalteringly, gracefully enters. Her steps are matched by the chhan chhan of the ghungroos tied around her ankles so slender. Eyes set on her, feast on her youth, Just right for the taste of all her customers. Bejeweled hands placed on waist, She stands at the centre of attention, She lifts a foot, readies to dance, And begins the nightly convention. Skillfully, perfectly, sensuously move Feet well-trained since childhood days, Harmonizing with the timbre That the Ustad ji creates. Tin tin na dhin na dhin na On the tabla, experienced fingers beat. Chhan chhan chhan chhan, She dances, repeating the rhythm with her feet. Metal bells strike against one another And chhan chhan chhan-a chhan she goes, Making breaths prance and jump, As she strikes on the ground her heels and toes. Then suddenly she stops and gasps, Over disgruntled, impatient groans she tries to hear the sound that flows in, only to her ears. Several rooms away, a baby cries. Naach! A voice booms, Arey naach! More join in. A glass of wine is shattered by an irritated one. But she stands still, clutching her chest, frozen. One sways up to where she stands, For the veil covering her face, his hands dive. He uncovers her, but is blinded by the sight of her beauty And her tears that fill her kajal-smeared eyes. She’s shaken back to reality as she looks all around. Her sparkling pall is off her face. She sees all those drunk men who’ve paid to watch her dance. She knows she has to make the sound of the cries fade away. So she stomps her feet on the ground till it hurts. Hair flying out of braid, bangles clanging, Anguish replaces her innocent loveliness, The music in the air is now shrill,  jarring. Her steps match with the tabla’s rhythm no more. But she dances, planting her feet so hard they weep. She silences every sound with the noise of her ghungroos, Praying that the night will lull her wailing son to sleep.

middle of rehearsal and she says, “mix it up! stand by someone from... a different section.” making eye contact with that choir boy, secretly wanting to stand together, wondering if he did too. so without hesitation i moved. one quick glance, determination in our eyes, we were ready; and we plunged into our song, harmonizing to the soprano melodies, making our voices climb and sink back into our lower ranges, supporting one another. the entire medley- my voice strong his voice stronger, my adrenaline rushing his calmness securing, my exhilaration rising his soul smiling. nearing our triumphant conclusion, closing together in perfect unison.

choir boy and i
When the morning came up I woke up Facing that holy dead body of yours I looked over myself and blushed I was only wearing the smile that you gave me Remembering what happened last night Couldn't handle it, so I held you tight Oh God! You smell like heaven Your aesthetic shape just turns me on No philosopher, no scientist, no religionist, no therapist could solve my issue Staring at your pale skin Oh god I just wanna sink in The way you shrink in When you sleep Makes me wanna stop time Just to enjoy this visual masterpiece for a lifetime The way I feel In every holy step you make Discovering every inch of my body Sculpting blue love marks on the borders of my neck The touch of your lips Mesmerizing me as if I'm watching an eclipse The movement of your fingertips Dancing the smoothest choreography from my chest running down reaching my hips Your husky deep voice Eargasming my ears Oh my God! I'm lying down next to my treasure Wake up and give me that painful pleasure I love to suffer Attach me to your bed with a tie made of a fancy leather **** me slowly Heal me Take me to your world Fill me in Stick with me Make our bodies as if they are one Let's hear our hearts bumping our hot blood Harmonizing the beat in the same rhythm Creating our own beautiful symphony And that when I finally moaned " Wake up!  You are my sweetest agony "

"Sweet Agony"
Groovy brown skinned brothas hip hop to the smooth jazzy beats across the starlight scene, exhilarating eyes light up the uptown extravagance, as they bust a move in the drumbeating room, rotating and vibrating, grinding and bending, breathing in the singing saxophones and trombones. Flashy lights shine bright and vivid in crystal clears, as young sweet caramel girls sway to the high hypnotizing sounds, spinning hips lost in the night, gliding on waves, shaking in the serene breeze like swinging trees, soaring endlessly across the rings of Saturn. Heavy adrenaline rises inside the upbeat and sassy melanin sistas, stomping stilettos, show-stopping arms and thighs harmonizing to the midnight rhymes, while hard bassline sounds sifts inside various dimensions of extreme delight.

Harlem Nights
The Story begins with silence and black out, a void. Not darkness. Nor anything that attempts to define nothingness, because it’s nothing. The blackness or void is only a metaphor representing nothing. Within this point, so close to simultaneous you’d think they were one in the same, a light emerges, emanating divine, pure energy and love.  Its intelligence and complexity expands and fills what was once nothing with beauty and truth. At this moment, all is whole, fast as thought, strong beyond comprehension, gentle as a whisper and furious beyond all flame. The wild spirit of happiness is real and alive! The void was never the enemy, only a point in which to be born. Duality can only exist if unification finds an enemy within itself. The enemy is reflected by the segregation and space created between divine and mortal. This space is developed by Ego.    This entity “Ego” is the essence of self resistance, absorption, chaos, consciousness…hate. The inner antagonist rises and begins to cut and eliminate the threads attached to creation and spirit. A mirror that envelopes and contains the living spirit.  An orb caging vulnerable souls spread throughout the expansion of life and suffocating energetic flow.  The universe and it’s creatures that lost connection being virtually incapable of seeing one another ever again while the enemy exists.    The instigation is tolerated by those who always continue the journey. The emasculation of Ego, commences as the divine resonates it’s vibration as a weapon like a solar flare, piercing the Ego. Then the inner spirit begins to open up and claw its way out. The Spirit sees that vanity is leading the despair of self pity into the heart as it remains a vessel dwelling in a false world channeling a false force. This awareness makes The Spirit lifts up, against and out of a matrix constructed within the crystal ball cage that refracts the true sun’s rays. Together, The Spirit and The Divine begin to crush Ego. Ego begins to flatten, compress and then combust. Through the flames the chord of love between The Divine and The Spirit bursts like a shooting star towards the kinship’s re-established nexus. The collision creates what was pure and full in circulation again and the expansion becomes an infinite motion harmonizing with the void in an adventure that goes on forever. When Ego tries to slither back in after a nearly insurmountable time of hiding between the gaps that contains new life, it is given no room by anything in thought, theory, in any form of existence.

The red-capped Cock-Man has just announced morning; The Keeper of the Robes brings Jade-Cloud Furs; Heaven's nine doors reveal the palace and its courtyards; And the coats of many countries bow to the Pearl Crown. Sunshine has entered the giants' carven palms; Incense wreathes the Dragon Robe: The audience adjourns-and the five-coloured edict Sets girdle-beads clinking toward the Lake of the Phoenix.

An Early Audience at the Palace of Light. (Harmonizing a poem for Secretary Jia Zhi.)
How can I say "We're just friends" When I taste you in my dreams Your honeyed savoriness on my tongue Formed itself Useful You dance like an angel In the center of my pupils Your song is exceptionally sweet It humbles my spirit Divulges me That we are all just hummingbirds Vigorously, hunting for a melody Auctioning off welfares For pleasures swimming in vain Selfishly We've never enjoyed the necter without the pain of Piercing thorns With handicapped feet, We dream to fly 60 miles a beat How I wish the breeze Would carry me Straight to your home of Butterfly Weeds Longing for the eightenth year, to sore away Just as a sweet bundle in Mama's womb In the nest we mature and anxiously wait Extremities Planted firmly on the dirt His amour Gives me wings And, I flutter His humming is a pleasing sound Searching for a fullfillment Two times our body weight In the ebony of my skin I inertly wait Wishing for reincarnation A New Life Of a harmless, beautiful hummingbird Harmonizing its way Across God's blue sky.                              Copy Right 2013                                    ©Patty Ann

A Hummingbird's Life
Selfless love pours out like a waterfall from her loving and caring heart nurturing all who would drink from it. Courage seeps from every inch of her muscle protecting and guarding For she is our guardian angel. Her heart beats at a different frequency But resonates with each one of ours Embracing and harmonizing creating a beautiful symphony. Like a sunshine she refuses to eclipse radiating positivity and happiness To the deepest, darkest of corners. Encouraging, rearing and believing pushing and advising she gave and gave planting flowers in our gardens helping us bloom and bringing the best versions of ourselves forth. Unconditional and pure is her love Patient is her soul She is our mother And a very happy birthday to her!

Happy Birthday Mom
Across the ice a baritone Projects his notes of steel, A tenor’s harmonizing Adds that melancholy feel And the glory of the voices Flows out through alders bare And the listeners weep for Russia’s soul And the tragedy found there. The tragic melancholy Found in every Russian heart Liberated by the sadness A fine harmony can impart. Of the monolithic yesterdays, Those forgotten fields of dead And that fire within the ***** Which numbs the agony of the head. Dark stains along the timber wall Wood fire’s stones make steam It fills the room with stifling heat Which sweats the bodies clean. Red wheals raised on shoulders Birch branches whip the back Whilst companion tones of maleness Speak in vectors women lack. Red larches in the foothills Gold lantern light on snow, The vastness of ancient steppes Of Central Asia grow. A viola’s velvet passion Sighs beneath a cottage door And the sadness in sensation Brings grown men to weep once more. The vastness of the terrain The hardness of the land, The bitter cold of northern wind, Each freezing winter spanned By Siberia’s lashing gales, White snow is metres deep And turquois ice as hard as steel Beneath which... rivers creep. Dostoyevsky,Kruschev, Rasputin and the Tsars, Great Lenin, Marx and Trotsky And the swords of Horse Hussars. Gorbachev the great redeemer, Poor Yeltsin’s pale white skin And the ****** found in Stalin's smile Span the politics of sin. This great Russian melancholy Lies deep within the soul It’s a legacy of yesterday Of her history's brutal goal. It’s a product of the suffering Inherent in the past Endured by legions of the people Then dispensed with… With a laugh! Marshalg @theBach Mangere Bridge 13 April 2009

Spotlights on us seemingly illuminating and otherwise blinding can't see the audience can't tell the difference between time and space different manifestations of each other creating infinite mandalas poured into rivers tones rising out of and falling into silence I trip over words and pick the sounds out of the scrapes in my palms I make motions to pick up the gravity but my actions are glitchy, disconnected an abstracted cadence remote inflection radio nuance rhythm break modal static living in stasis ants on a screen as grains of rice with bubbles in a glass of beer merging like two tones harmonizing on a secondary tonal plane move me like a modulation end me like an infinite crescendo I am suspended over several tones just let it go and I am resolved follow where the voices lead

follow the voices
Shriek of humanity The cries of innocence Ahh yes, this song You don’t hear it? Tell me, what does she sound like? The Symphony of string and percussion The pounding of her heart like tip tap of water Nearly empty Thinning strings as she wails with the violin Angry, Yearning for an audience Harmonizing the dissonance she is struck with It’s almost beautiful Chaos that is in tune with the hearts of men A song for you A mimic of you Muffled by the mirrors we build Allowing only the slightest murmurs A mere echo of their subverted lives We can’t face the music Fearing that we’d see our blemishes Our faces crept away for centuries A false lifestyle In a carnival of plastic mirrors Everyday the world is asking New questions keep arising Many still left unanswered One day in your life, she’ll run out of breath The silence will choke you You’re loosing something You’re not yourself No longer spoon fed by her patience But you’re still filthy rich Yet something’s still missing Maybe then you’ll be curious What could be playing in that song? How can we find out?

Listen
My soul is an enchanted boat, Which, like a sleeping swan, doth float Upon the silver waves of thy sweet singing; And thine doth like an angel sit Beside a helm conducting it, Whilst all the winds with melody are ringing. It seems to float ever, for ever, Upon that many-winding river, Between mountains, woods, abysses, A paradise of wildernesses! Till, like one in slumber bound, Borne to the ocean, I float down, around, Into a sea profound, of ever-spreading sound: Meanwhile thy spirit lifts its pinions In music’s most serene dominions; Catching the winds that fan that happy heaven. And we sail on, away, afar, Without a course, without a star, But, by the instinct of sweet music driven; Till through Elysian garden islets By thee, most beautiful of pilots, Where never mortal pinnace glided, The boat of my desire is guided: Realms where the air we breathe is love, Which in the winds and on the waves doth move, Harmonizing this earth with what we feel above. We have past Age’s icy caves, And Manhood’s dark and tossing waves, And Youth’s smooth ocean, smiling to betray: Beyond the glassy gulfs we flee Of shadow-peopled Infancy, Through Death and Birth, to a diviner day; A paradise of vaulted bowers, Lit by downward-gazing flowers, And watery paths that wind between Wildernesses calm and green, Peopled by shapes too bright to see, And rest, having beheld; somewhat like thee; Which walk upon the sea, and chant melodiously!

Asia: From Prometheus Unbound
Seductive being. You have captured my eyes. Blown away by an angel. Tricked by diguise. I'm lead astray by this angel. The way she courses with grace. So I follow the shadow. Fooled by the veil on her face. I have commited a crime. I have visualized this affair. Acknowledging this moment. This innocent state of mind. I admitt that this diversion. Has corrupted me inside. Leaving me empty. Leaving me alive. I'm drawn by her beauty. Harmonizing her rythm. While she harmonizes with mine. Concious of this unlawful act. Acheiving the impossible. Acheiving this lie.

Dear God. i hope You’re listening, i need to get close. im steady running in the same position. i can’t get close. my fingers hurt because i’ve been trying to pen down a letter to her & me & You for me. im trying to be good. these past few days i’ve been trying to get my thoughts in unison. working on harmonizing my processes & prioritizing my priorities. im going to be raw. i wrote letters to her but every single time i think of sending them to her, i remember that i won’t get much weight with my actions. so i throw them away. im steady running in the same position. she’s been thugging lately, in a good way. i won’t even try to make sense tonight, i’ll let words flow. ****** of the youthful mind, hold me. play softly, the strings at the back of my mind. be attentive, this tune will catch you. she’s stroking my medulla oblongata, painting vivid images of passion. steady running in the same position. ever looked at someone and feel a conversation going on between your souls? no verbal action, just distance & the space between the two of you. im steady running from nymphos of the youthful mind. Father, hope You’re listening. help me to not bend Your will. i’ve been good. dry cleaned my suit, im ready to walk with You. i need to get close. but i can’t get close to You. but im steady running in the same position. ****** of the youthful mind, tell me what do you want me to do to help you, help me, help you. she’s been straight thugging. ever been so close to a beautiful conversation yet words halt at the opening and you’re left stuck with regret? days later, you remake the scenario and polish on what you could’ve said. i wrote a letter to her & me & you for me. but i threw it away. wouldn’t have made a significant change anyway. ****** of the youthful mind, i need to get close. but im steady running in the same position. she’s been thugging. hat low, sweatpants low, afro hair, smooth skin, smooth **** dancing under the moonlight. scorpion eyes, deadly eyes. i need to get close. ****** of the youthful mind, my gangster, i need you to stroke my medulla and play a thousand songs at the back of my mind. im not trying to make sense, i was just trying to let thoughts flow. Dear Father, can i run away? i want to run away with her, to a place nobody knows. us. but please help me not to bend Your will. send me to a golden forest, to the Garden of Eden, so she & i can be Adam & Eve. we will be good. before then, i need to get close. ****** sing. sing me to sleep, sing away my troubles. i will run away with you. Father, hope You’re listening. i need to get close, help me not to bend Your will. but i can’t get close. to You. open the gates for me, im outside. i need to take control of me and pour out vibes so hard the universe capsizes. ****** of the youthful mind, run away with me. i wrote a letter to her & i & you for me. but then i threw it away. don’t even try and make sense of the words i wrote. don’t ask me how im feeling, just keep your eye on the poetry.

All I can see are your bright blue eyes like crystals. Oceans to drown me. All I can hear is your breathing, your chest rising and falling as you sleep next to me. All I can feel is the weight if your arms, holding me tightly through this hurricane. All I can taste is the stale cigarette smoke, my cancerous lungs. All I desire is your soul harmonizing with mine. You ******* You make me want to believe in something bigger than myself.

Ocean Eyes & Hurricanes
How I long to be The sweater gripping your skin A complimentary ocean blue Harmonizing your swimming eyes Hugging tightly to Your sleepy bones Sinking you when you leave shore How I long to be your jeans Clinging softly to you Melding to your wet skin A blue cotton night sky Enveloping you In the heat Of my embrace
