"rhapsody" poems
a symphony orchestra. there is a thunderstorm, they are playing a Wagner overture and the people leave their seats under the trees and run inside to the pavilion the women giggling, the men pretending calm, wet cigarettes being thrown away, Wagner plays on, and then they are all under the pavilion. the birds even come in from the trees and enter the pavilion and then it is the Hungarian Rhapsody #2 by Lizst, and it still rains, but look, one man sits alone in the rain listening. the audience notices him. they turn and look. the orchestra goes about its business. the man sits in the night in the rain, listening. there is something wrong with him, isn't there? he came to hear the music.

How do we begin The music Of love making? Are we sure That the language we share Is harmonic? Who arranges the pulse of the piece? Who decides which beats are Accented Which beats Are not? Will they give rise To our motif? Will our phrases Use repetition or contrast Be weak or strong ****** or repose? Will our passage Be AABB Or AABA? How many themes And how many variations Will we play on our delicate instruments? Will our cycle be a symphony or will we happily create a one movement work with an air of spontaneous inspiration and call ourselves a rhapsody?

Love's Musical Questions
Twelve o’clock. Along the reaches of the street Held in a lunar synthesis, Whispering lunar incantations Dissolve the floors of memory And all its clear relations, Its divisions and precisions, Every street lamp that I pass Beats like a fatalistic drum, And through the spaces of the dark Midnight shakes the memory As a madman shakes a dead geranium. Half-past one, The street lamp sputtered, The street lamp muttered, The street lamp said, ‘Regard that woman Who hesitates towards you in the light of the door Which opens on her like a grin. You see the border of her dress Is torn and stained with sand, And you see the corner of her eye Twists like a crooked pin.’ The memory throws up high and dry A crowd of twisted things; A twisted branch upon the beach Eaten smooth, and polished As if the world gave up The secret of its skeleton, Stiff and white. A broken spring in a factory yard, Rust that clings to the form that the strength has left Hard and curled and ready to snap. Half-past two, The street lamp said, ‘Remark the cat which flattens itself in the gutter, Slips out its tongue And devours a morsel of rancid butter.’ So the hand of a child, automatic, Slipped out and pocketed a toy that was running along the quay. I could see nothing behind that child’s eye. I have seen eyes in the street Trying to peer through lighted shutters, And a crab one afternoon in a pool, An old crab with barnacles on his back, Gripped the end of a stick which I held him. Half-past three, The lamp sputtered, The lamp muttered in the dark. The lamp hummed: ‘Regard the moon, La lune ne garde aucune rancune, She winks a feeble eye, She smiles into corners. She smoothes the hair of the grass. The moon has lost her memory. A washed-out smallpox cracks her face, Her hand twists a paper rose, That smells of dust and old Cologne, She is alone With all the old nocturnal smells That cross and cross across her brain.’ The reminiscence comes Of sunless dry geraniums And dust in crevices, Smells of chestnuts in the streets, And female smells in shuttered rooms, And cigarettes in corridors And cocktail smells in bars.’ The lamp said, ‘Four o’clock, Here is the number on the door. Memory! You have the key, The little lamp spreads a ring on the stair, Mount. The bed is open; the tooth-brush hangs on the wall, Put your shoes at the door, sleep, prepare for life.’ The last twist of the knife.

The great New York metropolitan stretching its  vibrancy trafficking its wears. Car horns combating in contemptuous arguments habituated eardrums unwittingly pulsating Great buildings upward; towering behemoths in grandiose splendor This great asphalt jungle sprawling its electricity for blocks, for miles The jazz of the city continues the chanting; the sounds of bass and the blowing of the **** sax, the horn, the piano and the drums drumming on its rhythmical beat Beating hearts feeling the vibrancy; the shock waves of nuances echoing the great hustle Multitude of voices singing praise to the different tongues; vibrant in diverse rejoicing, the poetry of men and women Metropolitans claiming the world condensing into small blocks and listening to its RHAPSODY.

VIBRANT HUSTLE A jazz-poem
They had played for too long. The stretching shadows sang in minor whilst tackling gusts scratched the colour from his hands and tugged wire through her clutches. Their fettered aircrafts swooped in plunging shifts: seconds of clouded rhapsody and cotton screams- equalled in deflection and discord. Their colourful counterparts climbed higher, twisting in solar breezes. They gaped upwards with tense suggestions neither knowing how to sever their tangled kite-strings.

‘LOVE’ – What mystique power it wields In what myriad guise it wraps! At times a sweet ache so coy to reveal Or a sudden urge, hard to unveil Sometimes a deep sensation A strong surge of emotion Permeating every atom Pervading from top to bottom It heightens the pulse And makes every nerve convulse It has left kingdoms fall asunder And many a mighty man - surrender Often, like dew drops falling from above Or the warbling notes flowing out from the grove It leaves the heart go upbeat in prosody Changing every sensation into rhapsody As beams of silver cast by the moon Or the cold touch of spray in the horrid heat of noon It soothes, embalms and thrills the heart Filling the void and leaving no dearth Love sublime, sure like a candle lit Consumes itself, and never dwindles a bit It dispels the gloom and dissipates the fright Invigorating the soul and healing every hurt As brilliance to stars, fragrance to flowers Music to flute or shade to bowers Love is to Man, freeing him from all sores Bestowing him the strength to meet all throes Love can neither be beguiled nor disguised Nor be stifled or be construed Love puts all other things into place And hems life with a lovely lace Love is all we seek and too scarce to find A magic thread by which hearts are bound Hark! It is love that makes the world spin around And cures all the ills that surround Oh! Love thou virtues I will defend

Love
Impressionist colors rising out of chocolate brown, stretching chartreuse necks upwards. Intertwining vines clutching each other in a desperate rhapsody of life, all waiting to display their Creators’ palette of pure color. Orchid and yellow chalices hold the morning dew as all are christened in jeweled morning light. With blue and white snow you carpet the ground blanketing hillsides with hope of Monet. Orange tongues of fire licking up towards the sun while jade blades battle as new growth crowds in. Blossoms hang full with a living harvest of yellow, awaiting transport to another. Stalks of dried grasses stirred by the August wind, dancing to the rhythm of the warm stirring breeze.   Summer now ebbing away in aged colors muted with brown, returning to the muddied ground once again.

Your shrill, yet oddly pleasant sound, echoes loudly down the long corridor. I try to ignore you as the jaunty sound clashes with my melancholy mood, Yet I find the notes and melodies cling to my mind like tissue stuck to a shoe, Hanging on for it's own amusement, Ignorant of my desire not to be teased nor humoured at this anxious time. I feel I shouldn't like your racket, My naïve ears and young years sense, not only an inappropriate comedy in your sound, But also a daunting undertone, Adding to my sense of having been plunged into deep icy waters. Perhaps your music soothes those who are leaving, Your high happy notes providing optimism and assurance of recovery, Or of a restful sleep enveloping dear ones. For me, however, at the point of no-return in my pilgrimage, I hear only the low notes, Out of time with my quickened pulse, And lending a foreboding soundtrack to my slow deliberate steps. But you play for no pay, Busking in this hospital, Doing good both night and day. Yes, you are well known in this place, Admired for the hours you commit to this space where lives can hang in the balance, And where your instrument by day is a sharp sleek scalpel, Invasive in its desire to alleviate suffering, Your steady, practiced hand rehearsed and well versed in the methodically planned procedure of a surgical concerto. But out of hours your instrument of choice lends you a voice, Allowing flourishes and improvisations. But were you aware that for visitors like me who visited repeatedly, The clarinet would take on a significance beyond other instruments, Taking me instantly back to bittersweet memories of visiting my family, As, in turn, they aged and became unwell and recovered and became unwell again. Now I am older and a little wiser, I reflect and ruminate on this period; My memories of family are more than just hospital visits, And I wonder if I could ask one thing of you? Why no Rhapsody in Blue?!

This morning, I walked with god and man, and animal I've come to believe, no other possibility, He denies me sleep as His insurance policy some One wants to be sure, someone sees His sunrise poem, He selected this ancien regi-man to be His admiring audience, with deer, squirrels, rabbits, a red fox, an osprey always complaining, why do they get the cheap seats so up at five, no jive, gotta get there early, for a good seat, on the dock by his name watch the color blue transgender from feminine elegy elegant pale to peacock royal male, the water, a contributing editor, phases in with a steely grin, with ermine whitecap hints and an orange marmalade sky homage, I cannot try to describe and here is where man comes in... as the tableau reveals a still life come to be, a painting enlivened, come to me free, bursting with effervescence and animal life tribunes, paying on... strange... my Pandora app back to back, plays for me Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue, hard upon it comes Saint-Saëns's The Carnival of the Animals and I enfeebled amateur, needy for a word titan Titian, can think only this trite thought: *I know not who is the instrument and who is the artist, but virtuous us, We, all, now-capital-buddies, now, all, well-color-capitalized, god and man and animal, crooning a chorus of appreciation let this "accidental" miracle, this collaboration, enthuse me, to live happily with anticipation for just one more day...* June 2014

∙∙∙◦◦•◎•◦◦∙∙∙ Sometimes the rain doesn't tell a story, or maybe it does. It just cries out loud from nothingness, yet it always was . I think it yearns a friend or something, but I never endure. It plays a theme from a Beethoven's key, melancholy to feel. Cynical for ones who betrayed its trust, surging ire it last. Then tranquility had ended its rhapsody, gone is her misery. Iridescent hues formed the aurora sky, rain bids goodbye. Neither You and I can't even fathom, the rains Delphic reasons. For the rain only comes once a season.

The Delphic Rain
Hello Poetry Yearned. Ached. For so long, for a community, That values the ineffable wonder Of a wordsmith's creations, intended to Repair himself and the world with bullets of Verses. And here you are. Like/Dislike, matters not, So long as we value each others work, And the the heart echoes within What the eyes read and the mouth whispers. The array and disparity of your names, A delight, Each name a poem In its own right. So I resubmit a question for your consideration, The answer is now known, The answer is all of us. May 2013 --------------------------------------------------------- Who's Who In Poetry   T'is a curious thing, these verbal peddlers, tribal members, famously well known to no one, perhaps at best, a kindred few, fellow-travelers. Each a troop, bloodied, purple hearted, word-wounded, anonymous unto each other, yet all bonded intimates, in solitary struggle united, yet sea-parted by the very nature of the solitude of composition. All poets are Cain scar-marked, purposed for everyone to see, a warning to rabbled boors, imagination suppressors! World: cherish these flawed ones, gentle these frail but gritty, the Lord has tasked them to be prophets in one tongue untied, undo the strife of Babel's division. Poets! Be the harpooners of the unexamined life, with unfettered rhapsody, comfort caress us, exhort the loopy to light their illusionary candles, turn the sad eyed lowlanders into crinkly eye-lined smilers. With clinical observation, dense and demanding, make us laugh at the comedy of our situation, teach us our free-to-see peep show, reveal, unseal us with **** empathy! For who's who in poetry is all of us! saviors and failures, recorders and decoders, night writers of the oohs and aahs of dreams and nightmares. When this poet cannot, no longer, anymore, tastes his poems upon your lips, keep your poems within his heart, then he breathes no more, and becomes one who was, yet is, because of you, in poetry. --------------- Postscript (1/25/17) Even more true today, than four years ago. Thank You.

She took the colors of rainbow And came around me in splendid array Like a sunshine dressed to **** me five days in a row, She sat across me to sway My mind and my heart to bend and bow. Within eyeshot distance In a beautiful blue dress my lady in love Appeared in dream like trance Remind me of those bluebells in silky glow. Over her glowing skin my emotions ponder Sparkly as fire and set me free from the torments Of her thoughts in sleepless nights that wander. My eyes held hers only for few moments. She flipped her hair and wrapped it around Her neck showing her shoulder in more detail To make up my mind about her to turn around. Her  starry eyes open wide with beautiful smile. Looking back at me as she gloats. Twirled her shimmering hair few times, She orchestrated rhapsody of delights And snapped my mind into lucid dreams. She is irresistible that I can only whisper Melting in love with my burning desire. Tilted her head as she made up her hair And left it undone as she had me set on fire. And slowly she letting me in Watching her over again and again. She opens up my heart into growing sensation As she slowly letting me in Only to find my unconscious mind. She touched my heart and soul deeply with love Under her hypnotic trance so profound As she speaks, all my love that she can deserve Her voice cast a spell on me to surround. She brought her hair together with a bow, Now her wish is my command, She locked my heart forever with love. I can’t think of myself without her to woo, I told her I wanted to see her every day And whispered ‘I don’t want to miss you’ Her name is Chelsea, she lives by the bay She winked at me and said, ‘me too’. Near the puzzle table we started to play Mental map of our love to display with no clue She promised me she never broke up And her love grows stronger every day. I am stuck in love and waited up To cuddle with her every night and day,   Need her now more than ever Until my last breath can stay We always be together and forever.

Rokkstarr There's no more love for the music, I've sang since birth about this world. Sang those love songs in my youth, Now your love songs make me hurl. **** Rock 'n' Roll and the bands you think are great! **** the police and **** you all! **** all those people that you hate! **** Radio 1 and **** the world! Rock 'n' Roll is dead and gone, Once Rokkstarr meant something great. Once we sang these songs with passion, Once we sang these songs with hate! Now we stand here on stage like wankers! So let's all sell out to the man. He gives us money for writing **** songs; Now moneys all we understand. Sell out tours and groupie whores. Life is great? No life’s a bore. Been here before and it was just the same. Same old thing again and again. Know what to expect, no more surprise’s; No more excitement, no meaningful trophies. It all means nothing, now we've been here so long; The **** record label wants another song. Which must be written, within the month; We have a release date, so we can sell this stuff, Before Christmas to the kids, because they’re our target audience; The music that they want, they can get from their parents. Because their parents know, that they just can't say "No.", To a kid that wants something, as much as they will. Rock 'n' Roll is dead and gone, Once Rokkstarr meant something great. Once we sang these songs with passion, Once we sang these songs with hate! Now we stand here on stage like wankers! So let's all sell out to the man. He gives us money for writing **** songs; Now moneys all we understand. To be a Rokkstarr, you'd think would be great. But the songs you once loved, you begin to hate. You sing them so much, it becomes a habit; Until one day you say "That's it! I've had it!" I'm tired of singing these songs; The words have lost all their meaning. I need something new, something I can believe in. I need music to fall in love with, I need lyrics with a real meaning; But my hope for all that's Rock, is a memory that's slowly fading. Soon Rock will die and be gone; Because new Rock bands come and go. Soon there will no longer be any hype; About a band you heard on the radio. Rock 'n' Roll is dead and gone, Once Rokkstarr meant something great. Once we sang these songs with passion, Once we sang these songs with hate! Now we stand here on stage like wankers! So let's all sell out to the man. He gives us money for writing **** songs; Now moneys all we understand. You never know though I could be wrong. Maybe soon I'll hear a song; That will move me like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' did. That will make me appreciate new music. Here's hoping for the future, For Rock to come back with a vengeance. Remember your roots in a jam-packed moshpit? Remember the mindless violence? Remember when you saw your girl through the crowd And fell in love with her there and then? That’s love for Rock music at its finest And believe me it will come again. Rock 'n' Roll's not dead and gone; Now Rokkstarr means something great! Now we sing these songs with passion; Now sing these songs with hate! Now we stand here on the stage; After finding our love for Rock! So let's all softly bang our heads and GET THE **** UP!

Rokkstarr
Rokkstarr There's no more love for the music, I've sang since birth about this world. Sang those love songs in my youth, Now your love songs make me hurl. **** Rock 'n' Roll and the bands you think are great! **** the police and **** you all! **** all those people that you hate! **** Radio 1 and **** the world! Rock 'n' Roll is dead and gone, Once Rokkstarr meant something great. Once we sang these songs with passion, Once we sang these songs with hate! Now we stand here on stage like wankers! So let's all sell out to the man. He gives us money for writing **** songs; Now moneys all we understand. Sell out tours and groupie whores. Life is great? No life’s a bore. Been here before and it was just the same. Same old thing again and again. Know what to expect, no more surprise’s; No more excitement, no meaningful trophies. It all means nothing, now we've been here so long; The **** record label wants another song. Which must be written, within the month; We have a release date, so we can sell this stuff, Before Christmas to the kids, because they’re our target audience; The music that they want, they can get from their parents. Because their parents know, that they just can't say "No.", To a kid that wants something, as much as they will. Rock 'n' Roll is dead and gone, Once Rokkstarr meant something great. Once we sang these songs with passion, Once we sang these songs with hate! Now we stand here on stage like wankers! So let's all sell out to the man. He gives us money for writing **** songs; Now moneys all we understand. To be a Rokkstarr, you'd think would be great. But the songs you once loved, you begin to hate. You sing them so much, it becomes a habit; Until one day you say "That's it! I've had it!" I'm tired of singing these songs; The words have lost all their meaning. I need something new, something I can believe in. I need music to fall in love with, I need lyrics with a real meaning; But my hope for all that's Rock, is a memory that's slowly fading. Soon Rock will die and be gone; Because new Rock bands come and go. Soon there will no longer be any hype; About a band you heard on the radio. Rock 'n' Roll is dead and gone, Once Rokkstarr meant something great. Once we sang these songs with passion, Once we sang these songs with hate! Now we stand here on stage like wankers!

Indigo. I refuse to use That word for blue. Why say digit When toe will do. Indigo:     It's pedantic                   Donnish                   Academic Should I mention It's pretentious. Some use it to explain Deeper feelings Than it can. Sacrebleu!

Rhapsody in Indigo
Laying outside on a creaky old balcony, On our backs, tangled up together in heavy blankets, Rubbing our hands and ears Because they’re getting numb Thankful for the summer’s gentle night I drew my eyes away From the graceful Venus in the South, A lone golden light shining wistfully And I finally found the shape of the Big Dipper. I stare at its lowest corners’ bright star, An unfathomable size, and even greater distance away Making me feel infinitely small Infinitely calm I trace with my gaze its tail As icy white sparks fly lightning fast Through the dripping-ink sky And burn out faster than a blink, Barely caught by our drifting eyes The three of us talk, I sing, maybe to stay awake or maybe to pass the time Bohemian Rhapsody’s bittersweet melody never sounded so pleasing to me as at 2 in the morning. Our chatter of secrets is punctuated by gasps Of us pointing out those bright streaks We all make wishes, For love, for luck, for answers As celestial raindrops keep reaching across the sky One bright orange jewel with a lavender tail Burns beautifully by I wonder why people make wishes upon something that’s dying, Though spectacular, at the end of its life “People wish upon things of the heavens” Is your beautiful reply.

Eternity in an Inky Sky
to be kneaded, in squashy, jelly ecstasy, falling over tumultuous, a largess of festivity, woman, not as much as your walk, talk or nature, but that one boom-rocket, eminent, salient feature, lickety, suckety, twistety, pressety, lurety, bitety, fever, closety, graspety, claspety, grabety, clungety, playety, severe, twins to be tended, a little gorge, to lash tongue betwixt, to be clasped, lurch after each tip, tender, half-earths, cast on a potter's wheel, sun baked, shaped in rain's fluidity, winter's rigidity, summer fire, lover's calm, luster's oasis, sumptuous, lush spread, breeze at a tree top, monuments in rhapsody...

Ode to 38C
Natalie! at present I am present on a small isle, which is so green genteel to the eyes and the ayes, you might include it among yet unmastered possibilities, living here forever. indeed, the crescent beach so welcoming that francais et l'anglais des anglaise is spoken here, but actuality has a way of intruding, like Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Bleu, saying I know you, even if it doesn’t this breeze bearing load suggests your name as a candidate for future, honours, an MBE, a practiced curtsy for a queen, whatever is he babbling about? why I am presenting an outline for a screenplay that will make you a little rich and somewhat fameuse so you buy a house on the water, party all night, write in the miracle wonder of the late afternoon on a summery isle, modestly hungover say! where is this isle so sheltered, where nooks are set aside for poets and drunks to pub crawl, to stand on tables and Irish sing of those things that poets endlessly babble? so add : come here and let us listen to all your possibilities and cross just this one, your presence here, off the list
