Composer Chaos


Have you ever noticed, staring into the yawn of a grand piano
The hammers look like teeth chewing up and down
Mincing sustenance into musical delivering energy

Do you feel like a science project?
An algorithmic allegory of the linear understanding
Making sense of these files switched places
And pieces, the keys pressing direction as the popular
Music moves along with inevitable tunes
Pleasing, boring, beautiful, predictable

And then all that jazz
Yah!
The lines change direction, no longer a road map
You have dropped a fork into the pasta and given it a swirl
And every turn jumbles the lineal congeal me a rendered mute

You should feel this way thinks the immoveable object
And yet you go that way, an erasure to the plan
An abstract comes of all this, unpredictable, natural
No word can describe this mess but oh man I like it!

Watch the water glass as it bounces upon the piano bench
The sound changes pitch and tone
The water splashes from centre and drops to cause ripples
In time making non rhythmic nonsense of the music

Teeth hammer down upon the strings
Offering melody and order
But outside of the obvious just beyond all that sight
There it lies
The truth of the real



Empyrean


It is a wonderfully cool morning today
A brisk breeze withers through the screens
Leaving a whistle and a rattle
And relief for my aging bones
The dark clouds roil
And occasionally release
Life’s liquid elixir
Tomorrow it will be warm says my radio
And I am happy
The leaves will finish
New shoots will tentatively leave the warmth of earth
Flowers and food will bring beauty and nourishment
I am tired in this pre dawn light
And I am grateful for her
For she provides all that we need

flotsam   rlm2012
this beach is endless
awash from tides
the souls of lost
dreams
tides misunderstood
the moons lighting
the way
journeys
explorations
discovery
invasions
acceptance
defiance
settlement
this place at last
points of peace
and endless flotsam
jewels
formed
in sand
through water
not wreckage
it is all a collective experience

Coruscate


It was all to be gone
In briefest of moment
A lifetime
Less your allotment
Parallel travelers
Hands to hands
Do more to with, stand
To each truth, tossed
In their way, moved
To greatness
A flash of twenty-eight days
Wane and waxed
For our time
For each ever
For each over

Osculate


Your trusted life curled into my arm
The scent of your hair
I breathe it with constancy
Committing this most profound sense
We sleep together
You upon my chest
A sharing of our warmth
Tangency bound across generation

TechnOdium


I realize now
So late it may seem
This distinct abhorrence you have
To these digital tether
Who knew?
We have blindly accepted the binding
The tenuous invisible link
Our private lives no longer our own
A necessity of commerce
Of research
Of Friendship(?)
So lets talk voice to voice
And read on and from paper
In coffee shops
In parks and streets and balconies and buses 
Amongst humanity (some will still be regrettably tethered)
An interactive dance
With touches and scents
And sounds and feelings
A revolutionary break free to be we
This can start with you and I
