and I said, “hey look, the sky’s on fire”
I saw a flower today...
Cutting quick and deep
Sharp melodies
Sassy tones
At times smoother than cream
In a rich cup of coffee
•
Notes, unseen
Cascade down the blank page
Of a musicians mind
Spilling out clear and sweet
Softer than snow blanketing a bungalow
•
Chords, a medium to be measured with infinity
Spinning eigth notes like cotton on a spindle
Pricking your eardrums with phat, coordinated rhythms
Low and as thick as molasses
Higher than the moon
•
Fuzzy, soft and neat brushes lightly caresss the snare
Chunk, Chunk, Chunk the constant thrum of the guitar
Propelling the group as the bulky anchor, the bass
Crystal tones, loud and bossy, the trumpet commands
The saxophone pleads mournfully to be heard, like a lost colour in an intarsia pattern

An Ode to Our Romance
Growing up
You hear love stories
Turned tragedies
Festering
Dying
Hating
All things bad
Adults
Tell you
Divorce
Is normal
Marrying one
You don’t
Love
Is normal
And
Always looking for
The One
Is normal
If that is so
Then
I must be abnormal
I must be
Broken
Because
I love you
And I will
Forever
You
Fill
My days
My time
My heart
And I thank you
I wish
For nothing more
Than you
Your words
Break the silence
With your
Colorful language
And how absolutely colorful
All of the leaves
In all of the trees
In Autumn
How colorful the sun is
In this crisp fall day
With you
As you dance me around
In the rain
Laughing
Playing
Living
The droplets
In your hair
In your eyes
And we both smile
On a playground
With childlike humor
Two adults
Dashing around
Jumping
High into the air
From the swings
Slipping fast down
The cold
Metal slides
Spinning
Together
On the merry-go-round
We love
Wildly
Budding in these
Cold quiet days
Like flowers
Fighting off
A frost
So
Fuck them
This is
Our beautiful
Romance
Years pass like trees out a car window. My hands on the steering wheel, your music in my head. The road trip music, the chill rock where the guitar is the lead and the singer takes second. Somehow you find your way into the bass players strings. Low and aggressive, relaxed and gentle. You’re with me as I drive through the mountains
