Tempo of Stars
Moon’s symphony in heaven
undulates to tempo of stars.
My heart pounds out rhythm
of sweet surrender
to breaths of dreams.
I feel the ceaseless pulse
of my pain – a staccato beat
of specks of ash from
psyche’s chasm, hearing
faint pulsing verses of the past
between eyelash blinks.
A flow of steamy metaphors
playing with words of sensuality
melding skin in pulse beats.
Everlasting tunes of eternal beauty,
lilting lyrics flow beneath kiss of destiny
tracing patterns in the wind
as light finds its home,
catching life in its inner rhythm.
Tunes walking inside our minds
moving seductively in slow motion
to the beating pulse of life’s sun
existing within our cadence.
Wings of love swaying
to rhapsody of breezes.
In Sync
I remember, when I stop to think
Of the days we danced a lively beat
We'd bend and turn and sway in perfect sync
But now we stumble on each other's feet
A mere stubbing of the little toe
I skipped a step; You botched a bend
A little laugh, you say you didn't know.
And I, too did not notice, I pretend
Somehow we find, we drifted from the hall.
Where we danced as one, there's now a gaping space.
I no longer hear the melody at all
And in the foggy night I can't make out your face.
It's been so long...would there be another chance
That we could find the music and learn again to dance?
Miami
moonbeams on palm trees
ice cubes tumble from my glass
my hips snap and glide
in rumbling rhythm
with yours
flushed and shaking
though an ocean breeze
swirls my hair
in the scant space
between us
tipsy, silly salsa dancing
we fall laughing, shoes flying
as the sea glitters on night sand
your warm hands on my face, my back
I'm thirsty and younger and
I want more
Tanzen
The rest of them keep it at a two step, and the really classy ones are brave enough to branch out to maybe a simple waltz.
But not me. I don't dance to those songs.
Outside of the dance floor, I'm the biggest dork to them.
But once my music comes on, the lights sweep the room and goosebumps slither up my spine, I find my rhythm.
I love it when that happens.
I can dance.
And they can't stop me.
12 bar
Remove me from this world, 12 bar.
Make me Blue and Black without a bruise.
Smother all things up, a blue like this one.
Under the Sky so rich with you– Night or Day, a smothering, in beautiful suffocation.
The elegance of Death's demeanour. As all's a blur for just a while.
But I'll ask again, to sink once more,
in Blue slumber.
Pulse
Oft misunderstood concept of rhythm,
Simply recognizing the music’s beat.
Not a convoluted algorithm,
Just feeling the cadence, moving your feet.
Take a moment to hearken the tempo,
Embrace the melodic modulation.
Foxtrot, waltz, tango, even calypso,
Cultivate increased appreciation.
Cadence similar to a poet’s rhyme,
Rising and lilting meter to measure,
An occasion to embrace the sublime,
Opportunity for immense pleasure.
Everybody can learn how to dance,
Relinquish your panic and take a chance.
She said "extra et cetera" of my plethora of feathers while buttoning her sweater up. Anticipating better months, temptation should weather us. If it doesn't better us, tell the chapel not to prepare for us, the priest have no prayer for us, and our exes needn't swear for lust of us, our brunch, and honeymoon fun. Needn't the sun fall for our horizon run, needn't we these shades for fear that sun might blind someone. Needn't I find a name to bind to our son. If I could be tamed, my mind wouldn't run. Though I am not tamed, harmless I remain because I mind no one.
Blood Beat
It's the staccato beat
the buzzing hum
I tap my feet
to the pounding drum
smooth and steady
nearly ready
music burning
body yearning
Sway to the swooshing melody
Samba sweet and eerily dreamy
pulsing
shocking
shaking
flowing
the rhythm of my heart
is the shot in the dark
the music of life
as I stroll
artsy, boho. classic sprays
splashes, colors, sins of days
steady on now
thrum, thrum, thrum
Tom Tom, snare or cajon.
The flowing rhythm of the night
when blood boils and fever spikes
dancing, gliding, moving fast
the beat goes on the hours past.
Time heals everything
Everything that goes on in the mind,
goes on for a while
remains for sometime,
then vanishes with time.
Traces of what remain in mind constitute to form what is known as memory.
Memories have got place, position, space and time in everyone's life.
Memories are part of everyone's life.
