"Everybody Is Brave To Dance" (Just written!)

 

 

Everybody Is Brave To Dance

 

Everybody is brave to dance 

In the Vampire's Castle in daylight 

Until it noticed on the windows

How light had been painted a picture 

The music chops time as senses

 

Everybody is brave to dance

Street tactics beneath volcano

Until the lava reveals wore clothing

And there at the desk even booking 

Didn't see traffic cabi...

Triple Haiku for 2025 [No.1. ❀ Love’s ❀ Revolt ❀]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the world weeps: enough!

set Palestine’s people free

 love’s the only way

❀

stokers of hate’s fire

tried to bury love’s dissent

but buried good seed

❀

we’re now growing strong

our shoots dance in winds of change

love, bring Spring’s revolt!

Limerick for 2025 [no.1]

I once had a whirlwind romance,

with a snowman I’d met at a dance:

though his name, it was Dick,

he’d less carrot than stick,

and sweet bugger all in his pants.

The history of rock

And so, in the vastness of the ether, it rises
From the primordial silence, a resonant sound
Like thunder that splits the distant skies
The voice of the Infinite is born, unbound!
No longer the void, nor the endless shadow
But the living flame, the fire burning bright
In the dawn of the cosmos, a mighty song
Where life and death in dance unite

In the womb of the earth, the first cry

Fire-Breathing Dance Of Love

The beginning is timid,

Time has got no limit,

Magic movements are slow,

We dance the tango of love.

 

 

It’s the music you feel,

Bliss and passion reveal,

Dance of flight and dove.

Dance of hidden love.

 

 

The beginning is timid

And is not so vivid,

Then it turns into a wild

And grasping dance.

 

 

We go deep into music.

Emotions Unveiled

In the fair of emotions, I lose my way
Among fruits and laughter, a mystery at play
Your eyes, like ripe avocados, invite me to peel
To take a chance, to discover what’s real

I want to know what love is
If it’s samba on sidewalks or a sorrowful fizz
Is it dancing in rain or a dream that won’t last?
A wish for the future, a tie to the past?

The clock ticks away, but my heart skips a bea...

Star-Crossed Hearts

She was poetry, a dance in the air
Moving lightly, like a verse floating there
Hair in the wind, unpretentious lines
Her smile illuminated cloudy times
He, a simple man, lived raw prose each day
With calloused hands, unaware of the way
Life in bold letters, beauty lost in the grind
Chapters predictable, meaning hard to find
At the craft fair, a sun shining bright

Masquerade of the Damned

On the city's stage where shadows intertwine
The vampires rise with hungry eyes that shine
And the audience, lost in a desperate trance
Watches the dance of predators in their dance

The theater’s a broken mirror, cruelly it reflects
Each act a silent cry, in pain it intersects
Instead of applause, tears fall like rain
And the vampires with sharp teeth dance through the pain

Cosmic Heart

In the hinterland of tomorrow, where the stars will dance

There’s a moon that lights up the ground, and the wind greets us with a glance

The sky is a vast field, an expanding canvas spread

I follow the trails of the future, with a dream in hand, ahead

Oh, cosmic heart, where are you?

In the dance of galaxies, we’ll meet, it’s true

Dancing among planets, with the sun as our guide

A Dreamy Wave

I want to see you move

Like a tree swaying in the breeze,

A unified grounded force,

Dancing as smooth as skin

on a newly born child,

Rhythmic as the universe,

One single movement,

Lasting an age,

A dreamy wave.

Ne'er Dance

β€œI don’t dance,”

I told everyone who asked.

β€œI’m terrible at it.”

So I didn’t.

I sat on the sidelines and watched.

 

I used to dance.

I didn’t question it when my feet

Would tap of their own accord and my body

Would wiggle around with delight.

β€œI was young and I was stupid.

It was embarrassing.”

Music To Live By

In films
they always have music
for all their moments.
I've wished I could.

If I had
my own song playing,
my own vibrant tune 
to live by,
I could dance
through life.

In films
you always know
the dramatic moments;
programs us to think
our own lives are empty,
or that we cannot dance
without a tune.

When the truth is
that we are full
with the power to create;
our own rhyth...

Affirmation

I would like my naked toes to caress a field of poppies

to dance; a fine expression of freedom and happiness.

to look up at the clear blue skies

and listen to the sound of singing birds

in the midst of wonderful harmony.

For time to stand still, a chance to inhale

To truly take in life, and the precious moments it can hold.

When we were Gypsies

 

Don't stop when the music stops

Even when the fever drops

The castanets have ceased to play

The romance in your eyes I see

Could I take you away with me?

 

I'll take you through the rain

Where the light remains

The only rhythm of the day

Where the sound of the patter

Which really doesn't matter

It's insane that the rain

Could make me feel this way

Ah, the magic of night 

when obligations are over, 

another adulting day in the books. 

 

I rest my weary body, 

set my boggled mind free 

with a little poetry...

 

Your words await

like a teen with a corsage

to take me to the prom,

where we twist and twirl

under twinkling dollar store stars

and a paper moon.

 

Happy memories pop up

Invisible drum sticks
Finger nails
And I rock to and fro
To a silent disco

Interpretive Dance

Shoo, 
go away.

I only want young, thin, pretty girls 
to look my way.

I don't care if they have anything 
intelligent to say.

I just want them to ooh and awe 
at my game. 

Of course I have no shame,
my past is to blame.

Yes, this dance could drive  
the thinker insane.

So, leave with your dignity,
while I toss back another one, 
and twirl my ring.

Look into my eyes and speak the words you have within,

Express yourself to your deepest core,

Speak until you feel you have no more words...

Before it begins a rhythmic dance, 

As I gaze into your eyes,

Into your soul,

With so much love it aches.

Poetry and the Cross-Pollination of Artistic Platforms

When people see a spectacular dancer,
They say, β€œOh, that’s poetry in motion!”

And then they might see a moving painting,
And say, β€œThat painting says it allβ€”It’s like a poem!”

And good musicians are just considered poets.
I mean, Bob Dylan won a God-damned Nobel Prize
In literature, didn’t he?

But it doesn’t stop there. I’ve heard motorcycle
Races described at β€œpure poetry in action...

Touch hearts with no band

Can you call me only once?

Dancing with Addiction

How do you help
loved ones that
insist on 
tap dancing
with the demon 
of addiction?

I want to scold
them like a child
for their own good,

but I know it 
would fall
on deaf ears.

I want to hold them
tight, tell them
everything will
be alright, but
they aren't buying 
that lie.

Is my only option
to waltz around 
my candy-coated world 
and watch them
self-destruct?

The music is calling

Preamble: for this Saturday's theme of DANCE.

 

I hear music. The beat begins.

It taps gently at my consciousness and slowly enters in.

It slides through my skull like the lift of warm caffeine

Raising pulse, slowing thoughts, it’s as if I’m in a dream…

Step by step I’m vanquished, it takes over my brain

It numbs my higher functions, until nothing remains

But the essence of...

Now the beat of the music controls us

The rhythm has us in its grip

And all we can do is dance

Just dance – moves our bodies in time with the tune

And there are no words that we need

Dragging them under
Taking their breath away
Saturated, sodden
Soaked to the skin

But it’s not my face

It’s a face with flawless skin

 

And I have eyes

But they're not my eyes

Lined in black

With upraised wings

 

And the glitter and gold above them

Is not mine either

Shimmering and throwing light

When I blink

 

And I smile

But it’s not my smile

A practiced smile framed with bright red lips

That are not mine either

Grim

The flower grew within, the fumes were fornicated. Bastards grew on paper, spilt ink spread their legs to the core of chaos. Thus the evil brewed bombs. You don’t see a shadow in the dark docile day. Only when it burns you can see your damned skin and the fire. The shadow of a truth turning grey, sat beside by the yellow day!

Tired, footsore, happy

Hearing a bird calling by the reeds

Notes curling amongst themselves,

Spinning through the warm air

Distantly, traffic busies itself,

Here, tranquillity reigns,

After a full night dancing,

You were bigger than a bus,

You were giving me that look

that said you couldn’t give a fuck
