Silent - The Concert
Two Years Ago, Gavin
Friday, day of the concert. Jace seemed jittery. Lucy still wasn't answering her phone, he told me. By now, she would be back in Yorkshire. At quarter to one, he took his seat in the audience and I went to sit in the Green Room behind the stage before my turn.
A couple of people performed before me. I was due on last. In the background, I heard applause, followed by mentor Dawn voice whispering my name, telling me to go on, wishing me the best. I opened the door and stepped out. Walked over to the grand piano and took a bow. Warmed up with a...

The Music Game Is Rigged
I was in the middle of writing a poem to post, however, a rant came to mind because of the poem's subject matter, music. Sure, that doesn’t shock anyone who has read my work.
Anywho, I might finish the poem because I know poems get more comments than prose on here, or so it seems in my short time at DU. Most the time it’s a feeling thing that makes me choose which form I use, and prose won out tonight.
So here’s the skinny. It’s really kinda sad that music has to be a business. What’s it cost to write a song? Nothing, not a fucking thing. It...

Hungry Eyes 2
The window of my soul exposed, in the midst of time
Slowly closing the portal to my heart, mind as my soul gradually ascends above the stars
The element of such a beautiful clandestine oath
Abandoned in the reality of truth
Claimed so gently in the heat of the night
Forbidden tender whispers
Surrendering wants, as needs gently meander over my silken skin
Indenting the blissfulness of its undeniable flaming desire
I feel the rhapsody when you call out my name
In each lyrical heartbeat...
Slowly closing the portal to my heart, mind as my soul gradually ascends above the stars
The element of such a beautiful clandestine oath
Abandoned in the reality of truth
Claimed so gently in the heat of the night
Forbidden tender whispers
Surrendering wants, as needs gently meander over my silken skin
Indenting the blissfulness of its undeniable flaming desire
I feel the rhapsody when you call out my name
In each lyrical heartbeat...

Washed Away
Collaboration with the The Lady of the Word, the unique and most talented "HER"
Check out this song on Suno

(Words to a classical music composition)
Oh, memory of your heartache
Has left me broken and lovesick
Lost in the nights we spent
Our love so pure it torments
Breathing of love you broke
In a single stroke
Oh my love, morning light has never lied
To have you back I will swallow my pride

Brixton Snow
1992, Brixton Prison, a golden dreadlock Snowy, plays his position, cooling in his cell and watching some television.
He walks with a limp through the wing, his boat bares a grin, and they say, "Have you got a pebble in your shoe and ting?"
Sporting circle sunglasses just like John Lennon, they cover his mince-pies, he is one fly felon.
He was a ragga MC, and he spat pure Patois. He didn't make generic hip hop, like your average rapper.
Now he is released from the shovel and pick, he's got his eyes on the prize, so he won't miss a trick! ...

A Metalhead's Absurd Vision
Long long ago before I became a SCATTERBRAIN watching EVIL DEAD movies repeatedly, I was ACCUSED of VIOLENCE on HALLOWS EVE. The DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECIALS (D.R.I.) who always needed an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT lived near the WATCHTOWER. They agreed with my METHOD OF DESTRUCTION (M.O.D.). We were SICK OF IT ALL, POSSESSED in bringing this faction down to their knees. A CORROSION OF CONFORMITY was happening in our towns and on our streets. If any DEFIANCE came their way, you were FORBIDDEN to enter their SACRED REICH. There needed to be LETHAL AGRESSION. A FORCED ENTRY into their METAL CHURCH. We knew...

Silent, The Beethoven Sonata
Two Years Ago, Gavin
I hadn't been back to the Grand Theatre since Sunday, two days ago, and didn't know what to expect. In the auditorium, I scanned the seats for signs of Philippa. She hadn't arrived.
I sat in between a couple of students I hadn't spoken to yet and averted my eyes when I passed Dawn. The auditorium seemed pretty empty today, unlike on Sunday morning when Philippa had got angry in class. I felt uncomfortable, knowing that Agnes Harlesden and my former Russian Coach in London were friends and had probably discussed me at length.
Paul was on stage,...

iamb a trochaic anapaest
an anapaestic dance
[No. 9 from The Children’s Collection]
“We are members of a vast cosmic orchestra, in which each living
instrument is essential to the complementary and harmonious playing
of the whole.”―J. Boone
how the whoosh of the wind and the splash of the sea
have conjured to construct an orchestra for me,
and the whisper of raindrops―again-and-again drops―
are sounding as grand as the band on the stand!

Reading Between My Soft Folds
I have to get this out
And since I am between changing for my next dancing solo performance
I must speak about
Let me tell ya'll about this handsome Hebrew brotha, pleasing all up in my Creole wet South, much tastier to the tongue no doubt
As I was saying, seducing my handsome one with fate’s gentle touch
Giving myself unto him, as he makes soft love to me like there’s no tomorrow’s rush
Bathe my temple in fragrant lavender oil
My skin his lips, in the right place, his fingers, spoils
Mm… the pages of my desires, scribed love...

Bathe my temple in fragrant lavender oil
My skin his lips, in the right place, his fingers, spoils
Mm… the pages of my desires, scribed love...

Thelonious Reborn as the Dee Oh Double G
Thelonius Reborn as the Dee Oh Double Gee
If we rhyme metaphorically , reach back historically, spit out new styles just like Miles, compose tunes that Trane, John Coltrane, would b proud to compile, or like the Bird, Charlie Parker, bravely brake rules, take take take, the music apart, do you honor Darwinian progress? Do you demand excellent art? Then you might might b from Hip- Hop, yeah, that's where many geniuses start.
It's simple, it's like nature, there is no fakers, take Common or Chet Baker. Satchmo begets Biggy, Tupac was influenced by Dizzy. Discerning ears...

Do you want to know a secret?
I want to tell you
The word
Wait
Because
That means a lot
Mr Moonlight
In my life
Money
Now and then
Misery
Please please me
Nowhere man
I want to hold your hand
Mother Natures son
I should have known better
Day tripper
Can't buy me love
Hallelujah
Here comes the sun
Run for your life
Ask me why
I just don't understand
Happiness is a warm gun
In spite of all the danger
Helter skelter
Baby you're a rich man ...
