she’ll turn into her mother
one day
you can see it in her eyes
hear it in her sighs

so let’s lie in each other’s arms
and forget about the world
not worry about children
or names or gender
not worry about mortgages
on our dream castle
holidays we can’t afford
friends
who aren’t really friends
relatives
we only talk to
because they are relatives

hostile family gatherings

this is the melody of love
a song sung only once
until it’s a
slightly remembered tune
we can only just about hum
Mrs Timetable May 2022
Even if the lyrics
To our song
Were none
It could be
A beautiful one...
My heart is
Waiting
To be filled
By your notes and chords
Go ahead
Practice on me...
I am here
Sometimes there just aren't enough words to express our deepest emotion...but music alone can convey it...just take the time to listen
Glenn Currier May 2022
There’s a concert in my back yard
solos and duets all day
a circus with acrobatics
clowns painted with reds, blues and browns
just feet from my perch
here as I peck on the  keys
the stars fly in
then flit away with ease
as if to tell me:
you can’t hold me long
with your seeds and your eyes
we are free to dive the skies.
With gratitude to John Wiley and his poem, “Kookaburra” - https://hellopoetry.com/poem/4547160/kookaburra/  - the inspiration for this poem.

shrug off the shoulder aches
as laughter bounces off the walls.
shimmy out of the daily traffic
and into the well-lit streets.
clink glasses to accompany a song
in which everyone shouts the words.
when it's over, float atop the world
with hearts buoyed by love.
Escapril Day 26! Prompt: night out.
This is my idea of a great night out - one in which I can enjoy my friends' company and have a wonderful time. I hope we all can have amazing nights with the people we care about :)

Why’d you have to prove
That I was right all along?
Isn’t it too soon for this song
To end abruptly and mock love?
    
Now, I can’t finish headstrong,
I have nothing from above.
Do let me box you without glove
Or let me hate you a lifelong.
Not reallyyt
an unbelievable sight
an indescribable feeling
tell me what would you do
if i didn’t hold you tight
i can tell you the truth
take your heart and confuse it
walking, running, and tumbling
on an unstable ground

it’s a new us
our neverending story
nowhere else to go
but here with you
i’m not afraid the waves will swallow me

understand when i say
we will get our chance
tearful, fearful, but beautiful
a journey we can see

it’s a new us
there’s nothing keeping us here
i’ll chase you anywhere
i’ll be right there
will you catch me when i fall?
inspired by A Whole New World (Zayn ft Zhavia) can be sung with that melody

he plays with my love
with the strings of his bow
it makes such a precise sound
consistently on pitch

he moves his hands
inch-perfect on strings
each tune a new sorrow
each string used
more infatuated then before
i love the sound of music, especially the violin. it always makes my heart stop and sing, on the highest pitch. it feels like floating

The tones, gracefully

rising to the better one:


my whistling-kettle.
