"overtones" poems
It seems wrong that out of this bird, Black, bold, a suggestion of dark Places about it, there yet should come Such rich music, as though the notes' Ore were changed to a rare metal At one touch of that bright bill. You have heard it often, alone at your desk In a green April, your mind drawn Away from its work by sweet disturbance Of the mild evening outside your room. A slow singer, but loading each phrase With history's overtones, love, joy And grief learned by his dark tribe In other orchards and passed on Instinctively as they are now, But fresh always with new tears.

A Blackbird Singing
ACROSS the flat and the pastel snow Two people go . . . . 'And do you remember When last we wandered this shore?' . . . 'Ah no! For it is cold-hearted December.' 'Dead, the leaves that like asses's ears hung on the trees When last we wandered and squandered joy here; Now Midas your husband will listen for these Whispers--these tears for joy's bier.' And as they walk, they seem tall pagodas; And all the ropes let down from the cloud Ring the hard cold bell-buds upon the trees--codas Of overtones, ecstasies, grown for love's shroud

By The Lake
Breeze bellows, leaves echo in quivering psithurism, dithering like unbroken smoke, this approaching omen goads. Dozing crows slumbering in rows, droves of locusts' silenced drone, almost comatose in repose; nighttime overtones choir of toads' raspy croaks answered by alto of crickets' orchestral strokes. Gust encroaches; robed boughs cloven open, bring into scope and focus me juxtaposed, suspended apropos. Although motionless and petrified in stone, provoked by zephyr coaxing to and fro; swaying pendulous and no longer frozen, locus gently thrown. Death rattle moan evoked from throat, reflex can't say no to rigor rigidly posed, final sigh in silence, awoken vocal, expelled and disposed. Smote by morose emotion, gun loaded then exploded by neurosis, now bloated necrosis decomposes into gross ochre. This trophy and this ode both an opus to my inability to cope; romanced i proposed, eloped and betrothed to my own inappropriate composure. Pocket full of posies plucked when luck bestowed and tears in a cup, a toast; crying copiously, tempest runneth overflowed, eyes swollen and soaked. Dipped my toes in the coast of this ocean's amorphous folds, gripped by undertow holding control of my soul; swiftly shipwrecked in shallow shoal, an old atoll. On sandy floor, water burrows roads; digging, carving, roams through unmarrowed silica and sandstone eroding into a cove. A host for opal geode trove, enclosing a technicolor rose, from the depths a glowing mosaic shone Unopened lotus floats on foam of lapping waves, a boat; prone to no grandiose notion or motive, adrift as wind stokes. I suppose this only shows the total corrosion into which I dove, the only foes to oppose are those of burdens, so only weightless can I atone- I must let go.

On rising heat, killdeer flush to decoy enemy-- threat to its young that roams too close They rush to skim on hayish blur wailing over wildflowers drying Fretful twitter in perpetual flight swifts-- twirl and hurl their bits of bodies-- debris from a cumulonimbus of a late-day sky toward a ridge of stag horn sumac presuming horizon primordial behind which time and city-- drift and wobble on rising heat-- after rush hour Rising Heat Rising-- to meet my mind on its way down from my post behind the laundromat where I view it all-- rising-- where I usually go in search of quiet to almost hear the ocean      two hundred miles away to strain words from wind      in careless conversation to wonder over      missed whispers.... But not today In rising heat, I went down in search of something better--      your eyes again      solvent for my presence of mind      dissolvers of hours and the order of things But I need an excuse!      To turn, to trespass, to disturb the peace!      For your eyes again! And still I need more-- being feverish, weak Or? Or... should I take the cure?      To deny ...To deny To deny what? Overtones from a sea of years? I don't know!  Whatever it was! Nothing explain it... I melt... I'm gone....

Virgo in the ascendant, Saturn in decline, A retrograding antidote, A calculated rhyme; Overtones of melancholy, Undertones of mirth, A surfeit of misfortune, Of musery a dearth Faithless Fortune taps her foot, While plotting my demise, A rhythm most unruly, A metaphor unwise; In minutes and in seconds, She wreaks havoc on my pen, A glib faux pas, no coup de grâce... And so I start again. § _My zodiacal tendencies, Triumphant in their prime, Fade to skepticism As life spins on a dime._

A PLAGUE ON BOTH THEIR HOUSES
Bless me this Mentor of Sole Beauty's Heir Yet Strong but Soothing Overtones bespoke Your Man won your Lot; Such Blue Maiden Fair Whose learned Feathers brushed my mind pre-note Which perchance teach me this Indigestion Of Quarter-Terms whose gods we must rely Your Patience, prized, covet my Attention Which by tri-week's end I will soon come by And hope within months my Master become Whilst you dear Lady try to taste our Flag I realize, this Truth: Work most embalm Then my Skills effect to Experience had. Before I forget, I'll thank in advance This Dumb Poet's Song in foolish romance.

SONNET TRIBUTE: HELEN COVERDALE
JANE, Jane, Tall as a crane, The morning light creaks down again; Comb your cockscomb-ragged hair, Jane, Jane, come down the stair. Each dull blunt wooden stalactite Of rain creaks, hardened by the light, Sounding like an overtone From some lonely world unknown. But the creaking empty light Will never harden into sight, Will never penetrate your brain With overtones like the blunt rain. The light would show (if it could harden) Eternities of kitchen garden, Cockscomb flowers that none will pluck, And wooden flowers that 'gin to cluck. In the kitchen you must light Flames as staring, red and white, As carrots or as turnips shining Where the cold dawn light lies whining. Cockscomb hair on the cold wind Hangs limp, turns the milk's weak mind . . . Jane, Jane, Tall as a crane, The morning light creaks down again!

I would much rather think of my style of writing as "Philosomancy" than as "Poetry", I would much rather think of my Music as "Phonomancy" than as  "Music". I think of myself as a Philosomancer rather than a Writer; perhaps a Writist. Language is simply a mutual Medium for concepts; a means. I think of myself as a Phonomancer rather than a Musician; perhaps a Musist. Music is the name we call ordered sound; a means. There is deeper Mythic significance to these things than the mere words "Write" and "Music" lead on; The Suffix of "-mancy" indicates a style of Divination; a sort-of improvised Oracle. Take, for instance, Geomancy: Divination of Earth Pyromancy: Divination of/by Fire Astromancy: Divination by the Stars Aquamancy: Divination of/by Water By this pattern, it logically follows that: Philosomancy: Divination of/through Ideas Phonomancy: Divination of/by Sounds - Mythic Overtones are ubiquitous and implicit, yet perception of them is more rare due to cultural dissonance 'twixt Mythic and Logic. Plus, Philosomancy and Phonomancy sound so much more badass than mere Writing and Music, if I am to openly opine! (It really helps to have a sense of Humour, as well!)

Philosomancy/Phonomancy
Each day is drowned in frigid waters. Never able to dock against real land. Little bubbles ripple to the surface of the ill-fated. Riptides of hate and disgust slam the high towers of this mighty hull. The icy cluster plunges into the depth of our core. Defiantly this mighty bow of ours shrieks from its deathly hollows. As if some ghostly being is wailing it's final departure to the sea. Monotonous overtones creak inside this inlet; as life and death flood to it's harmony. Brimming with animosity and subjugation. The majestic's heart yearns for land one last time. Our innards displayed, as our two halves fatally sink to their final depths. Never reaching our idol port.   Never finding what was Solely ours to find.   A sinking Ship.

After Rush Hour
Evening in her slippered feet Approaches from the heat of day Shadows in the molten light Lengthen as they have their way Silence in the hovered moment Stillness in the mote of time, The glow within a sunbeam's ray Ensnares the warmth of joy as mine. Drifting insects float on bye Suspended in the evening light Against the lace of silver birch With gnarled trunk of speckled white. In the dark  blue, far azure A gosshawk glides on high, aloft A predator surveying late For living things in farmer's croft. A waterfall of children's laughter Cascades through a field of green, Overtones of golden shadow Fills the air with love unseen. Earthworms in their darkened tombs Are wriggling for the coming night, Rabbits stretch and move to grazing Anxious for the closing light. The chill night air descends as dew The picnickers depart the scene, Starlings flock to perch and roost Whilst velvet silence hangs serene Vaulting high above the foothills Crowned with purple alpenglow Taranaki's snowclad grandeur Last to see the day light go. Contemplation be my friend For deep within contentment's breast The joy of living sings it's song And sooths my happy soul to rest. Marshalg Taranaki Evensong 23 October 2010

Taranaki Evensong
The Moon and the Stars It all started one night under the stars. Lying in the field on the clearest yet brisk last nights of summer's warm-held grasp. Telescope, blankets, friends and stars. We watched and waited as satellites and planes flew overhead; deciphering shooting star from orbital waste, relearning and recalling constellations recognized throughout man's lifelong past. Gazing into the wide open of the unknown with thoughts of extra-terrestrial, black holes, and the possibility of life after death. The darker the night the more magic seemed to exist. After wrapping up our outdoor viewing of the universe, we headed indoors for peaceful sessions of passing the pipe while listening to shamanic throat singing and overtones, as our friends sat gravely entranced, zoning out to the wonders of the world covered by media through National Geographic and the world-wide-web. It was somewhere a midst all this where I find myself; body calm and mind relaxed, propped up on the couch pondering the innermost immortal thoughts of the interconnectedness of life and death and sound and energy, spirit and soul as visions of spirals infinitely intertwining as one appear before my eyes. The sensations of what I imagine the reference of “getting the gears rolling” in the center of my brain as my pineal gland begins its first steps of decalcification brought about by the intentions of man. Up until this point my life was on a one track path. A steady straight line towards the unknown, unawakened, and ignorantly naive, believing everything I had been taught up until that moment was a true solid fact. With this new sensation of the potential for higher vibrations within my own soul, my heart began to rapidly race but without pain and suffering, rather with the excitement of this new realized grace. Awakening to this new idea, to this new age, to this new way of life.

i loath that educational poetry that's intended to address you with scold or searching for a higher tier of morality, there are poems like that out there (rudyard kipling e.g.), with educational / instructional overtones in the way they're written, i always wonder though: did the poet remember the idea of solipsism and writing the poem as if to himself, a note to self, rather than for others to peer into the poem and learn something? that's the thing though, i'm a child of immigrants... actually an immigrant myself... no, wait, let's do what the higher tiers of society call it: i'm an expatriate, a child of expatriates - and they still talk with an accent, me? self-taught english from the age of 8, retained my mother tongue nonetheless, speak none of the two tongues with an accent, unless i want to, a friend of mine introduced me to a greek cypriot, lovingly ridiculed me as posh... and let me tell you, sounding posh in essex is hard to do, i admit it would be harder in scotland or east london, but essex is still a hefty mountain to climb - it's like that crass joke i heard in the edinburgh comedy club i used to haunt once a week... a guy stands up and with a mighty grin announced himself with over-stressed elocution: 'you might recognise my accent (i.e. denoting where he came from, a great conversation starter on these islands)... it's educated', and that really crushed the hazelnut in his **** - well if it was a woman telling the same joke, it would be a crushed hazelnut between the legs - missionaries in positions of ardent prayer and christmas wrapping paper - because a woman's strength in the leg department is like the lips of oysters, or any over shellfish for that matter - insects of the deep blue (exoskeleton).

Rolling skin shifts from side to side This beating hit mashes The backs of my knees so they are kissing spirits The low beds here make you feel like a salmon Caught in some fisherman’s net Its obstructs your vision of the world All you can classify from the passers by Is the smell of their voyage And the sand falling from their scalp muscles The heat confuses your senses Your insurrection causes you to plead for a truce A plea not to be hearing German overtones in your own head Where am I now in this weary plane crash? Even the monsters make noises of bliss The streets are filled with Technicolor tropics 2 joints for 8 dollars from homeless Anthony A land of unbearable strangeness Reality left us when the water fell Completing an oasis of vibrancy and nutrition The earth cracks beneath the roaming Of infinite stray dogs and feral humans Everything here has a tale But you may not know it until it is wrapped around your inner thigh A sixth sense of blasphemy Forms a pit of fear in your stomach for whatever you left behind Such creatures never meant to be seen caged between your very eyes They grasp as if you were some ancient tree Equally deserving of their devotion I am just an eroded soldier And this armor is really starting to eat away at the cause One can not find zen in this confusion But we will all float down that path eventually Zen can wait for I would rather wade with the sinners in the pool of exoneration

Inside a garden Of misleading wonders, A rose so wondrous With thorns are obvious. It's painful and slow But carry overtones to grow Its petals bleed But worthy to be someone's lead Thorns protect flowers-- Just like teachers Who protect us to fully bloom And pass through tall wall looms.

I am alone. I am. The sounds are not naked Scratchings from outside; No soft paws scurry in the attic; The floors beyond are tiled; The stairs carpeted; The hinges like cloth; The curtains drawn against shade; The phone doesn't ring to vacant voices; Half-burnt candles would burn In the whosh of a hallway. And yet, I hear you breathe, Hear the rustle of sleeves; A light slivering beneath the door. And I am Alone.

Gothic Overtones
jackson browne's Late for the Sky is an uncanny song illuminating the moment right before you split with someone you love the latenight time when despite all the swerving you see the end of the road the grieving and inevitability built right into the overtones i liked it before i had a girlfriend and when i had one and we built a world together and broke up i listened to it and shook my head in recognition and thought what a good song

LATE FOR THE SKY
They are watching my every move in the night Quietly looking at me like a rabid raven. If you could see deep inside my head It would look like a movie made by Wes Craven. My methodical homicidal ideas running fast and running ramped Trying ever so hard not to get caught I have no choice but to top the last at what I just did. My mind is pounding hard and my heart is racing As I am dripping with sweat back and forth I am pacing. Studying about all the others hoping now not to get caught When they had finished what they had done, I often think, What was it that they had did they did thought. Keeping secrets buried locked deep inside When they questioned me with their questions, I lied. I am the king of given many a death wish Pushing you in with handcuffs behind your back Now you’re sinking to the bottom forever chilling with the fish. Verbally murdering you with these lines, When I’m in my death bed, I’ll confess, all my death crimes. Till then question me all you what I don’t care, No how many times. (SirCARSr 10-10-13)

Paranoid Overtones
I tune you as piano keys. I listen intently to their blare through billions of seconds to make sure they have sound of suitable height with thirteen-digit accuracy. I found the arbitrary parameter, in shimmering sun in your eyes, in consonants in your name, in literature you are reading in your footsteps in sand, in joint travels, in energy of your heart, in motion of your thighs, in your grace and beauty, in the tone of your voice. I am not able to say a word of admiration for the sound of your body and soul. Piano closed in such small creature. Only I can play on you. Instinctively, we escape from reality in music. I try to focus on vision of notes when I am distracted by your radiant face. You sensed I play first time. Light in your eyes gives me confidence. Love is the music of your existance. Life is secret of black and white keys. I like when you are mostly undressed wearing only underwear without feeling any shame, with your mind filled only with sounds and touch of my hands. The notes fell in torrnents. Where am I? I try to put excited pieces together . Burning sensation in my skin gives new symphony, overtones as powerful as waves of ocean. Let it happen. The blood needs to flow with music. I barely breath. I never felt like that. Each movement felt like pure ecstasy. The water of our sensation grows hotter again. I am all fired up. Play with me, my love.

Piano in your skin
I'm in love with my imaginary friend. Every night we go for walks through the pines and twisted oak and roll along the forest floor sending ancient leaves to float. Once, we laid on our backs, head to head towards space and synthesized soft new lights which colored up the scene. We made dragons dance throughout the clouds, eating fish in a serpent's kiss. Pink and green pulsing slow as raptured waves and overtones. Behind that checkered skyline, through a portal in the clouds came to mind a severed vision of her flaming hair and crown. She has curled around my feet, hearing the stories that I've told. And I've watched her streak across the sky, a shooting star, a cosmic jewel to behold. She's celestially empowered, adorned with patient equipoise, with Jupiter and Venus meeting conjunct in her voice.

My Imaginary Friend
Honey liquor. the sweetest taste on my lips, to fall down to the inner sanctum, and rest, beneath my chest in a silent humming desire. I feel your breath across my teeth, as it takes in my edges, the curved outline of my body, plays with the candlelight, that was so sweetly lit for this moment. In a flash, like a 1950's photography picture, the want, turns to rage, to abandonment of what lays before you, I lay before you. You breathe me in. You take me in. You leave my skin with goosepimples, and i am not cold. I want to roar, but i am lost with out my mouth, as you hold it in fearful gaze that I might just breathe, you, in. You following my veins from my neck to my wrists, you count the beats of my blood, with your ears, pinned back, with your teeth white and sharp, feared by the candlelight, they do not move, like my body. I writhe and sink below you, your hand is on my wrist, and my arm is locked behind me, I am pinned, I am put upon, and yet, i have nowhere to go, but my mind is running from you. I wait for you to take me, an indeterminate amount of time passes as i look at you, with your eyes closed, taking your time, with your lips pursed and your chin turned, just so. And i feel the liquor burn within my chest, it drips down each breast and across my navel, as you nip the scant flesh of my inner thighs. It is quick, it is swift, the breath i held is exhaled through an open mouth, a silent howl in a wood-less room, and a den has been made. I am not here anymore, I am within you, as you are within me. I am breathe, as you are the air. There is suffocation as i come too quickly and i can't control my mouth; It utters words in religious overtones; 'Let this be my Sanctum, OH, MY GOD'. I am fixated by the sight of you, my body breaks into a millions pieces and dances through the languid, heaving sweat of the dormant room; I watch my fingertips pass me by, I can no longer see your face, You have braced me for the final *********** The Ultimate Fix. And my legs crumple as quickly as your body does. You are silent in your respite in having me, there is no tangible evidence of love having taken place. And sweet honey liquor burns at the back of my throat, as i exhale and howl to the room, the air, the woods; for in the space between the light there lies within some air. To love a wolf, one must have to fight, to love a wolf, one must have to forsake all, and be reborn anew and to cry. For to love you, you have to take me. And i will drink the sweet liquor, and retreat to the sanctum within, with a smile on my face, a burning in my chest, and a tear in my eye. For to love a wolf, one must be willing to die.

To Love a Wolf
Honey liquor. the sweetest taste on my lips, to fall down to the inner sanctum, and rest, beneath my chest in a silent humming desire. I feel your breath across my teeth, as it takes in my edges, the curved outline of my body, plays with the candlelight, that was so sweetly lit for this moment. In a flash, like a 1950's photography picture, the want, turns to rage, to abandonment of what lays before you, I lay before you. You breathe me in. You take me in. You leave my skin with goosepimples, and i am not cold. I want to roar, but i am lost with out my mouth, as you hold it in fearful gaze that I might just breathe, you, in. You following my veins from my neck to my wrists, you count the beats of my blood, with your ears, pinned back, with your teeth white and sharp, feared by the candlelight, they do not move, like my body. I writhe and sink below you, your hand is on my wrist, and my arm is locked behind me, I am pinned, I am put upon, and yet, i have nowhere to go, but my mind is running from you.

In Seville My lock is like a wheel that treasures the land with strands of sand now an inroad to soul in times of grain this platitude of health ahead of tides the salt on shore implores unfinished deeds as art deplores any nurturing of needs with stars out this race beyond the chariot again and proves that this orient has rightly won a gathering if seed roaring in a stream of catchment nigh where these overtones are songs and round about the fields along the Guadalquivir.
