"piccolo" poems
Nagising mula sa maingay na telepono Tinig na bumabati ng isang maginoo Maligayang kaarawan saad ni Piccolo Bumangon ka na riyan at pumarito Katawan ay nakapako pa sa higaan O, bakit ba kay lambot nitong aking unan? Ang bumangon ay tila palaisipan At ang panaginip ay nais pang balikan Ngunit tatayo na upang mundo ay harapin Sa labas ng pinto katotohana'y malagim Sa likod nito ay papanhik pa rin Sapagkat ang tumanggap ay natutunan ko na rin Sa lugar kung saan ang lahat ay gaganapin Lahat ng handog at pagbati ay tatanggpin Ngunit tila nasa gubat at nag-iingat pa rin Sapagkat maging sa mga banal ay may ahas pa rin Sa wakas ang araw ay natapos na rin Bulong sa sarili na tila ba aantukin Ang araw na ito'y tiyak na lilimutin Nang taong sa tiwala'y may suliranin

Tiwala'y Suliranin

Zeitgeist
~ Marigold melodies whispering soft Harmonies dream on the wind Scented illusions of days in the past And those about to begin Blooming of music in shades tinted yellow Sweet as the day you were born Penned in the key of to never forget Symphonies cast off the storm Beneath a sunrise of violin vistas Precious this garden of song Petals in piccolo choruses beaming Hoping you will sing along Listen as heavenly arias play Now as the music does start Find every note is performed just for you Composed of the love in my heart

Marigold Melodies
Standing in the August sun, Your skin soaks up the light, And saves it for November, When clouds occlude the sky. The gentle breeze softly coaxes The folds of your paisley dress, To gather up their courage And ask your hair to dance. Silent finches straining to hear, Her soaring, piccolo laugh. The waves cresting to see, Her pure and radiant smile. Like stars that come to speckle The navy nighttime sky, Each morning a brand new freckle Appears below your eye. Adorned with grace and charm, With patience and joy complete, Dare not to look away, None other can compete. Grumbling fingers, Untying scarlet ribbons, White banners to unfurl, And forfeit to the beauty, Of my gorgeous summer girl.

Summer Girl
~ Your beauty sings harmony with a cantata sunrise, euphoric melodies in viola and piccolo lingering ‘pon a lavender haze of periwinkle whispers, symphonic poetry afloat of dawn’s breezes, ecstasy in tangerine desires, wafting concertos of passion as I listen quietly to my day once again beginning with the perfect lyrics of your smile

Lyrics of your smile
The soul rises inspired by paintings colours shapes and tones harmoniously juxtaposed. A bird soars towards the sky floats then swoops. The melody flows, swells surges then fades. An intermezzo with solo clarinet or perhaps a piccolo. Linked words in a poem flow like piano notes rhythmically, melodically.

Ecstasy
*Will you stroll with me This path of Autumn leaves Crunching underneath Both our melodic feet Said the Harp to the Six String Guitar Come walk with me... Will you dive with me Into the open sea Together we will swim An enchanting melody Said the Mandolin to the Violin Come swim with me... Will you float with me On this cool night breeze As fireflies flicker on and off To our quaint melody Said the Piccolo to the Saxophone Come fly with me... You can hear the melodies Playing free From one end of the other Sea to shining Sea As the instruments are all beckoning Come play with me...*

1.  If you aren't moving your hands while telling a story, it's a boring ******* story.  Add in something to make it exciting, like a chance encounter with a tiger.  So what if no one believes that tigers walk down 5th avenue, at least your story doesn't **** any more.  You know whose story ***** now?  That ******* who doesn't believe a tiger can make it in the big city. 2.  Make bad mistakes every once in awhile.  How will you know that you don't want to be part of a Colombian Drug Cartel unless you try it out for a few weeks?  Who knows, maybe you'll find out it's your true calling.  Maybe you'll stage a coup, take over the whole thing and get the hot girl in the red dress.  But no, you're sitting at your computer reading this.  My point is, drugs are bad ok? 3.  Don't be that guy who thinks he's better than everyone else because he always "does the right thing".  You know why he's never made a mistake?  Because he doesn't have a real life.  His life is as real as a Ken Doll's unmentionables.  Yeah it's all smooth and shiny, but he can't have any fun with it.  What's the point of  having a life that can't be potentially ruined by terrible decisions? 4.  Take chances.  and I don't mean by putting "Piccolo Pete's Face Burning Tabasco" on your hotdog.  I mean walk up to the next girl you see and give her a passionate kiss the likes of which she hasn't had since 3 days ago when she drunkenly made out with some random dude at a bar.  Yeah, you may feel like you've just been kneed in the groin and/or maced multiple times in the eye...but you know what?  You just made out with a beautiful woman, and you've got a good lawyer. 5.  Don't take advice from people you don't know.  Especially some random person on the internet, those people are just shady.

The timpani crash of thunder The gentle side drum beat of autumn rain While violin and cello echo the gusting wind The Nightingale sweet sound of the piccolo echoes in the dusk Early morn and the French horn mimics the pheasants call And the well played flute could be the blackbird on the wall But this can't be Because man can never truly compose natures music

Natures Music
Echoes of the rain bouncing up and down rolling off of me The closing of summer is beginning its journey Droplets cleansing to zoom in on our intentions of what the new year will bring to us... What happiness can we hope to internalize as our tans wash away? Our peaceful spirits flowing through the celestial piccolo of love from the Source Happiness is our right let it blast through the seasons - in different melodies, harmonies, improvisations and synchronizations The summer fun leaving for the lightness of the dancing angel let there be joy, wishes dreams coming true, star gems, moon dew drops, friendships, and soul mates We shall fly through the year with ease and simplicity - the bursting flowers that reach up and expand outward, each tree standing positive and steady filling us with the greenery and life of our true joy and purpose

Lyrics of your smile
Piano, piano, soft as moonlight silken fingers on ivory skin. Glissando -- run your hand up my thigh plucking every string. Arco, arco. Softly, softly, the clarinets breath in, breath out arms envelop me in the tune up, four notes each fifths apart. Your voice chimes lovely, the conductor flicks start. A symphony, a symphony, a whole opera house inside this bed. Observe me through small binoculars, roll back your eyes into your head. Violins slow crescendo, your sigh an answering phrase from the cello, listen to the tuba and the piccolo and the mounting tension. Crescendo, crescendo, forte, forte. Presto boy, presto. Ritornello. Fin. Dream with me. Belissimo.

white pencil on a white sheet
There's a soundtrack stuck in my head. A whispering, quiet melody. Flutes and violins take center stage As cellos and clarinets round out the sound. The soft plucking of a harp shades and fills in With the gentle support of a French horn. And so the basses and the tubas grow louder As the melody swells Like a leaf blown higher on the wind. As it begins to crescendo, I can feel it in my fingertips-- The emotion of it all. There's a symphony in your smile, An orchestral accompaniment To the twinkle in your eye. Your laughter is the thumping of the timpani; Your chuckle the plucking of an upright bass. Your soft conversing is a harmonic woodwind; Your finely crafted wit, a lively piccolo. And your hands gently taking mine, Cradling them and never wanting to let go, Is the soft caress of a singing violin. And when you say, "I love you", I realize it was you all along. You are the music in my head, The soundtrack to my life. And like we used to do in bygone days, I would play this music cassette Over and over and over again Until the film is faded and cracked, And there is no more cassette that can be played. Then I would sit and close my eyes, And recall it in my memory, For the music of the heart never fades. Just like your "I love you's" And my "I know's".

Music in My Heart
She sends pictures of a very happy self Her two kids in Miami and of course, herself She loves Cuban food, the warm weather, the wine In fact, everything looks quite fine It's nice to see her happy right now She lives in rainy Oregon, so why not go South? She was the Homecoming Queen, it was quite a big deal For us, just kids in high school I stood on the field Standing in a band formation, I was holding a piccolo I watched her be "crowned" and "her life will be perfect," this I know I was very wise at seventeen If I could handle what I was presented with, I thought I was keen I really had no idea what it's like to be alone in life I got educated, worked hard, even became a wife But I always expected a rocky road And I got it--some things did just plain explode But what of it? That's just me But my perfect friend, it is different for her, you'll see So now where is the father of her beautiful kids? Not there with his family, you can be sure of this He didn't want to be with her anymore So, he just left, didn't want to work it out, just said "no more" And if it could happen to her, is anyone else safe? I guess the answer is no, and I guess I'm figuring it out pretty late I had more in common with the homecoming queen than I thought Now I give her encouragement and kind words, to help her through this lot So many stories of men on the run To really think about this, no this isn't fun I was so naive as a girl I thought the love of a man was lasting, like a pearl.

A lonely haiku
Domenica! Il dì che a mattina sorride e sospira al tramonto!... Che ha quella teglia in cucina? Che brontola brontola brontola... È fuori un frastuono di giuoco, per casa è un sentore di spigo... Che ha quella pentola al fuoco? Che sfrigola sfrigola sfrigola... E già la massaia ritorna da messa; così come trovasi adorna, s'appressa: la brage qua copre, là desta, passando, frr, come in un volo, spargendo un odore di festa, di nuovo, di tela e giaggiolo. La macchina è in punto; l'agnello nel lungo schidione è già pronto; la teglia è sul chiuso fornello, che brontola brontola brontola... Ed ecco la macchina parte da sé, col suo trepido intrigo: la pentola nera è da parte, che sfrigola sfrigola sfrigola... Ed ecco che scende, che sale, che frulla, che va con un dondolo eguale di culla. La legna scoppietta; ed un fioco fragore all'orecchio risuona di qualche invitato, che un poco s'è fermo su l'uscio, e ragiona. È l'ora, in cucina, che troppi due sono, ed un solo non basta: si cuoce, tra murmuri e scoppi, la bionda matassa di pasta. Qua, nella cucina, lo svolo di piccole grida d'impero; là, in sala, il ronzare, ormai solo, d'un ospite molto ciarliero. Avanti i suoi ciocchi, senz'ira né pena, la docile macchina gira serena, qual docile servo, una volta ch'ha inteso, né altro bisogna: lavora nel mentre che ascolta, lavora nel mentre che sogna. Va sempre, s'affretta, ch'è l'ora, con una vertigine molle: con qualche suo fremito incuora la pentola grande che bolle. È l'ora: s'affretta, né tace, ché sgrida, rimprovera, accusa, col suo ticchettìo pertinace, la teglia che brontola chiusa. Campana lontana si sente sonare. Un'altra con onde più lente, più chiare, risponde. Ed il piccolo schiavo già stanco, girando bel bello, già mormora, in tavola! In tavola!, e dondola il suo campanello.

For let us once uncloak ourselves, take this seriousness off. As if the world would end on such a missing note. Just one less frantic tune to complete the symphony. Surely one might miss the piccolo or an oboe, but in the greater scheme, the concert will go on, without or without one missing serious-instrument. So, strum on in a vibrant key, let yourself go from all your troubles. Play an uninhibited harmony, blow a sweeter tune, one of gaiety, one of lightheartedness, one of gentle tenderness! For fellow word-musicians, this composition is much too short, to play out of tune most of the time, as well.

Play On A Gentler Tune
He can’t sleep. He can’t speak. He just whistles. The wind works its way through his tight teenage lips, disrupting the subtly silent suburb. Frequencies fluctuate. In the distance a dog barks. Then another dog barks. The piercing sound of high pitched whistling doesn’t stop. Aside from his holey jeans, old flip flops, and smelly green shirt, whistling is all he has. The sound resonates with everything he is. He whistles with the lost hope of love. There is a soft undertone of sorrow. His whistle is as beautiful as a piccolo. It is more fluid than a flute. Farther in the distance a mournful howl echoes in response to the whistle. The night carries him onto a bus. One stranger stares scowling viciously. Another strangers growls, “Shut the **** up.” However, this pied piper cannot. He refuses to stop. The whistling continues.         Up and down, it is a haunting sound. Fifteen minutes of whistling while the bus carries him home, to nowhere. Here there is an empty alleyway with a metal grate giving off waves of stray heat. He works his way to the one dumpster occasionally stocked with the days rotten left overs. To some the stench would turn their stomach, but to him it is sweet salvation. An officers asks him to stop and show his I.D, to no avail. The request is repeated carrying a hint of arrogance and anger. Even so, the whistler is unable to stop. A hard hand grabs his wiry arms. They struggle, another officer joins the fray. Somewhere along the line a foot smashes against his ribs. He whistles for them to stop, pleading with his pursed lips. Steel toed shoes smash his gaunt face. The whistler finally stops. The cops do not. Years’ worth of rage works itself out on the young man’s body. Inside his skull the whistling continues accompanied by a ringing. Pain singing and singeing his brain, leaves him breathless. This is nothing new. It is no worse than his history. The red welts, the black bruises, the damaged ear drums, and the broken larynx, all the scars from previous violence. Violence meant to silence. Beatings that stole the words from his breaths. Speaking through the wind was all he had left. A secret language he kept to himself. The dead tell no tales. Instead the wind whistles back at a broken corpse.

The Whistler
He can’t sleep. He can’t speak. He just whistles. The wind works its way through his tight teenage lips, disrupting the subtly silent suburb. Frequencies fluctuate. In the distance a dog barks. Then another dog barks. The piercing sound of high pitched whistling doesn’t stop. Aside from his holey jeans, old flip flops, and smelly green shirt, whistling is all he has. The sound resonates with everything he is. He whistles with the lost hope of love. There is a soft undertone of sorrow. His whistle is as beautiful as a piccolo. It is more fluid than a flute. Farther in the distance a mournful howl echoes in response to the whistle. The night carries him onto a bus. One stranger stares scowling viciously. Another strangers growls, “Shut the **** up.” However, this pied piper cannot. He refuses to stop. The whistling continues.         Up and down, it is a haunting sound. Fifteen minutes of whistling while the bus carries him home, to nowhere. Here there is an empty alleyway with a metal grate giving off waves of stray heat. He works his way to the one dumpster occasionally stocked with the days rotten left overs. To some the stench would turn their stomach, but to him it is sweet salvation. An officers asks him to stop and show his I.D, to no avail. The request is repeated carrying a hint of arrogance and anger. Even so, the whistler is unable to stop. A hard hand grabs his wiry arms. They struggle, another officer joins the fray. Somewhere along the line a foot smashes against his ribs. He whistles for them to stop, pleading with his pursed lips. Steel toed shoes smash his gaunt face. The whistler finally stops. The cops do not. Years’ worth of rage works itself out on the young man’s body. Inside his skull the whistling continues accompanied by a ringing. Pain singing and singeing his brain, leaves him breathless. This is nothing new. It is no worse than his history. The red welts, the black bruises, the damaged ear drums, and the broken larynx, all the scars from previous violence. Violence meant to silence. Beatings that stole the words from his breaths. Speaking through the wind was all he had left. A secret language he kept to himself. The dead tell no tales. Instead the wind whistles back at a broken corpse.

He's a strange boy Dusty hair and cobwebs in his ears Musty clothes and rusty bones He doesn't wash He doesn't even brush the grit from his eyes So when he blinks little trails fall his cheeks He sinks into old black boots Always moves with the wind Like he's pinned to it Grinning glint of the sun warms his cold face As he floats from place to place He cries but no tears come Instead some tiny spiders come sliding And devouring each other Retreating to weave webs around his head He hears the wind whistling through them sometimes Tries to learn the notes To play on his bone piccolo The Spider Web Sonata He'd call it if anyone would ever listen But it doesn't seem to be the type of thing That would ever happen to him Not in this life anyway

Boy
Vedo la luce di un lampione, lì in fondo alla strada. La vedo dal secondo piano. Dall'alto. Non la voglio lasciar illuminare la strada da sola. Non riesce molto bene. Non sembra serena. La luce non è fioca, ma non è viva. È gialla, ma uno di quei gialli che non sceglieresti tra i pastelli colorati. La strada che illumina è familiare, ma non è amica. Non deve esser molto contento quel lampione. Vorrei potesse andarsene da quella staticità. Da quella strada. Da quel nulla /// I see the light of a street lamp, there at the end of the street. I see it from the second floor. From above. I don't want to let it light the street by itself. It doesn't work very well. It doesn't seem peaceful. The light isn't dim, but it isn't bright. It's yellow, but one of those yellows that you wouldn't choose among colored crayons. The street it lights is familiar, but it isn't friendly. That street lamp must not be very happy. I wish it could go away from that static. From that street. From that nothingness
