Sounds of the city,
drums and an oud play a song
a wonderful day

Masquerading Band
Masquerading.
No limits when hidden from sight.
Playing to the crowd, they blast music
from the pinnacle into the pit;
an orgy of vibrations moving through
flesh, bone and emotions.
The song comes to an end.
The next song beings.
The Last Song
Words spoken we feared would come
to spill out from old rusty speakers.
We never thought this day would come,
we always knew this day would come;
we did it to ourselves, and we knew it.
Words spoken, hurried tones to loved ones
for they will be the last words from our lips.
We stood and sat as the day moved along;
a last dose of intimacy between the two of us.
The record player sits still waiting for the album,
yet we cannot decide what will be the last song.
We play them all for the rest of the day waiting;
then a song starts to play we both love and
…

Bird Song
Alone from afar
A voice like a reminder
A song from afar
The Hand for your Heart
A flutter, notes vibrate
and he takes your hand.
A feeling, two alone
and dancing hand to hand.
A flood: emotions,
and you know
his hand is the hand for your heart.
Joyful Song
Another candle burns down and spills; the electric lights would spoil the mood.
Another flapper dress bounces and someone else does the dancing.
I’m sitting at home, cool as a cat, relaxing in fine haberdashery; I wait only for the cat.
Another cloud bursts like his heart burst when someone shot him a year ago.
Another dead soldier for the cause, though I wonder if it is all worth it.
Another set of thoughts race by as the emotions of widowed bliss set in, consume the atmosphere and keep the cat from venturing over.
Another record set up to spin as I dance with his pillow in our joyful song.
Forest Melody
There’s a melody dancing in the wind.
Tiptoeing and fluttering about, the melody moves her to the sound.
Satie’s soft bows from a violin stir her heart as the flowers and trees sway along.
In the distance, he sits playing along, only to vanish the moment they meet.
