ODE TO ETUDES OP. 25, NO. 12 IN C MINOR (CHOPIN)

Passion
where is thy heavenly gift
Beg
I do for pastures of romance
Love
thee — angel follow me too
Kindness
compassion for all thy life
Understanding
wisdom from burning fire
Heaven
thou, dream I giveth prayer to
Love
is thy reason for living life

and desire
for love
escapes thy flesh
afire angelic wings
kissing devil’s lips
a Christ-passion
for all high and low

A HUNDRED POEMS – 049

Come base-note
feet pondering
ebony-ivory      keys
lyrical phrase —
lift my heart-clef
poised before measure
n’ver a common time
that life       consumes
the chambers
of my music hall
bring to me    my songs
each moment — symphony
the notes fall
but never shatter
only scatter about

AY-OH

ay-oh ay-oh ay-ho
mighty sky beast
ay-oh ay-oh long
holy feet moves
makes the ground sing
sai-yo mah-oh love
my pebble stone burns
a feast for hunger
keep the children
close to you —
lest they fall
into that fire
sky spirit kiss
ay-oh families
make the rain fall
aday-o feed love
let truth live in you

A HUNDRED POEMS – XXV

Inner song
bring me soul
a tune i sing

one so old
that when first sang
before the sun

and angels danced
a circle they ran
around the space

where lay Earth

Inner song sing to me
a sweet-tooth tune
pick up my shadow

and show me light

and angels dance
they circle me too
around the space
where lay my soul

LIFE AND LINE

Well now — I’m just a man
but you could do worst
my dear I’m a man willing
to make more of my life

and i hear a calling
that voice of the dead
but my fist punches it
so my life is too tough

and the flesh is pure
but my life to day
it keeps me going
moma said i’m a good boy

and i knew when i took
that first walk it was easy
and after those a hell to walk
but my fire is hotter than hell

and I walk that life and line
a step of fire each time
and i burn each mile walked
but life is a bitch now girl

and i walk and walk life
and dragging life is my toll
but i love to feel the fire
and life is a love i kiss

I walk that life and line

WHAT THE HEART NEEDS

I walk around and down the walk
just another day minding business
and I can hear the people saying
nothing matters but what’s in heart
such a thing needed is more song
about love and life and smiles too
And what does the man say…
listen to what they all sing
It’s what the heart needs
and it needs…LA LA LA TA DA LA LA
and the flowers twirl float soda
and sherbet paints Mona Lisa
and she is singing LA LA LA TA DA LA LA
it’s what the heart needs yes it does
