Transcendent Love
Dear Lord, please find me
somebody to love.
God replied, no,
not just one love.
I give you an ocean
of eternal love
found only in faith,
poetry and music.
From this special place,
you will find love
like you have never known,
from kindred spirits
around the world,
transcending
space and time,
to give you a glimpse
of the divine.

The melodic grass
This music,
it makes me want to fall from the water
float in the sky,
stare at those lips
and kiss those green eyes,
drink from the clouds
and jump on the pond
to feel the stars
and gaze at the stones,
the rythms , the notes
melt my mind
ignite my visible voice
I'm not here nor there
maybe inside a void
floating on the blues
maybe its a d...

Kiss Me
Kiss me
in the strawberry fields
of your mind.
Kiss me
in rhythm
and rhyme.
Kiss me
until darkness
becomes sunshine.
Kiss me
from pain
to pleasure divine.
Kiss me
through sands
of time.
Kiss me
beyond death
to life sublime.

The Grammy goes to...
eager crickets sing in chorus
at the top of their lungs
gusts rustle leaflets
in the string section of dwarf palms
nervous gnat raises his falsetto
as high as he can
dragonfly’s baritone buzz
upstages her wingspan
pileated woodpecker plays his pine
keeping on the beat
tufted titmouse takes her tenor solo
melodic and neat

Full Moon Rising
“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” ~ Leonard Cohen
Halloween frightens my inner child
who is afraid of masked men,
being alone in the dark,
daggers to the heart,
a body aging too soon,
eternal suffering...
but the hollow night
gives way to a full moon rising
and a million stars to wish upon,
ushered by angels beaming light

To Breathe (Is To Burn)
There is so much more to this.
The music does not make song
but the foetal space
amongst famous walls
filled with such au fait grief
and there a beast floats
to see the fear fleeting
on their new found face
in some unfailing destiny,
there she silently screams,
a flame away
God so violently benign
in his passive spirit-
He forges her-
to breath truly ...

Lost in the Lyrics
I remember getting lost in the lyrics when I was a young girl. I would stop and start my record or cassette a hundred times while I wrote down every word so I could sing along to the song.
Lyrics was my escape when I had no place to go.
I learned lyrics, meter, and rhyme, from the best poetry teachers of my time...
Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, James Taylor, Bob Seger, Barb...

To Sir with Love
Said the Letter in my tray
It wasn’t for me
It was an Ode to Billie Joe,
I turned and left the building
On a dark and windy night
I wandered, lost and alone,
I saw a church full of people
I knelt at the back
And told God, I am a believer
I threw of the chains of sadness
I felt a spirit inside
Lighting my fire, with love and desire
I said some...

There’s a place where I can go and tell my secrets to… (Brian Wilson)
In a room,
a child not yet a teen,
sits full of good vibrations.
The vinyl stolen from parents
crackles with life,
static and promises of a long summer for all.
Surfboards, so alien to this coast of estuary and mudflats,
yet the glow of California dreams and girls perforates his reality.

Petrichor
Instead of inhaling
doom and gloom,
let’s take a walk
in the woods,
play hide and seek
among willow trees,
Feel the sun rejuvenate our soul,
Become one with dirt and rain,
bathe in the healing fluid from mother nature’s veins,
petrichor,
just what the doctor ordered.

Books, Music & Poetry
I love being surrounded
by books, music and poetry.
Each one comforts me,
provides a healthy escape
from too much reality,
an alternate destiny,
full of adventure, passion,
rhythm and rhyme.
I will choose books,
music and poetry
over life’s drama
every time!

Mambo Moment
We interrupt our program
to bring this important
message...
Amid the chaos and confusion,
be on the lookout for a
a mambo moment,
where you suddenly break
into song and dance,
forget your cares,
live in the moment,
feel the rhythm of life.
A mambo moment often appears
out of nowhere, at the most
unexpected time.
Those around may think
you lost your mind,

Beautiful Dreams
I wish for a soulful voice,
a proud father,
reconciled love.
In absence of these things,
I do not despair,
because I have the music,
that makes my unfulfilled wishes,
beautiful dreams.

Smiles, flowers, rainbows.
Dried tears.
Your ghost is here,

Two in the Morning
Profound sadness
clouds my view
at a quarter til two.
I don’t understand why
my muse avoids me like the flu,
when a simple poem or song will do.
Wise words to help me understand
why true love passed me by
in this lifetime.
Why wrong choices,
that felt right at the time,
left me alone in this abyss
where my better self
silently bears witness
to my shr...

breath of fresh air.
It warms my heart

of a beautiful dream.

Let’s slip away
to the Blues Cafe,
that secret place,
in the smoky dive,

where steel strings

The One
People haven’t always
been there for me,
but the muse always has.
Lighting my path,
healing heartbreak,
the one making life fun.
Makes sure suffering is not in vain,
dances with me in the rain,
stays beside me come what may.
I return the favor by making
my muse’s words known.
Spreading love as we go.

TRIBUTE TO SOUND
Music is a tribute to sound
From the wien of an electric guitar
Piercing through to your inner ear
To the soft sound of a violin
Played with emotion
It can Pearce your heart.
The voice is a tribute to music
The soprano, the base
The tenor, the alto
And falsetto
With the right word
The story of music can be told.
Music can touch the soul
With someone special
Or all alone

Your poetic words
bring comfort

Two stars colliding,

In the space

life is sublime.

One Love
Worries dissolve
with each drum beat,
guitar strum,
heartfelt harmony.
From floating,
on a river of dreams,
to cosmic flight,
weaving a cocoon of peace.
One love.
Awakened.
Transformed.
Hope springs eternal,
in your soul song.

the whole day through.
May aches and pains

May sunrise open your eyes,

May your soul find its way home
on the wings of love.

Music Makers
I will miss music most,
when I leave this life.
Yes, I will miss family,
friends, spirit guides.
But words, set to melody,
is champagne for my soul.
Vibrating space
between the lines
diminishes strife,
makes me high on life.
It's a magic carpet ride
to the other side,
where angels annoint wounds,
dreams circle the moon.
Long live music makers,
I love you!

Take That Lock Down Gig (In Case You Missed It)
No ticket stress, no queueing at the gate or arena door
A concert like no other we have ever attended before
The front row of my kitchen, sat in my favourite chair
Glass of wine, singing loud, waving my arms in the air
Take that, reunited, straight from their home into mine
The Greatest Day of lock down, together they did Shine

On the piano, I always love to play
Splendid tunes all through the day.
I like to tinkle on those keys.
It brings me joy and brings me peace.
Such music gives me such delight;
It surely makes my soul take flight.
It is a balm - to my mind healing,
Or simply gives a lovely feeling.
Of all composers that there are -
Beethoven is strongest by far.
All his sonatas, which I admire

Our Song
Spinning the same song
that connected us
gets harder to hear.
Each verse cuts deeper
into what never was,
what could have been,
the longing to be near.
With my fingertips crossing your beard,
your fingers grazing my thighs,
those longing sleepless nights
I’ve waited to be alongside
the one that knew the depth
of my emotions,
facing eye to eye.

Forgetfulness
I may forget where I put my keys.
I may forget my phone.

I will never forget blessings from above.
I will never forget soothing melodies.
I will never forget the love.

Endless Night
At the end of the day
The rain now steadily falls
I’ve laid here for hours
Waiting for sleep to come
Keeping my mind company,
I’ve put a few records on
Spinning my favorites and laying low,
Leonard, Elliot, Thom, and Isakov,
Each song delivers a blow
Throwing me back to years ago
I’ve laid here in the dark for so long
It’s too much trouble to turn the lights on
My mind is heavy

Creativity Costs
You are enough.
Insecurity or
grandiose confidence

Carrying around two vinyl records
In a plastic case just four inch long
And half an inch wide
How good would that be?

transfer onto a compilation tape.

Covered ears, listening to scary news, not to music anymore.
Missing passion. Empty beds. Cold skin.

Every tragedy leaves behind

Music in me.
Music floats
Through my veins,
Brings me back to
What I am.
I sing and sing again
To kill the silence outside.
My songs, directly from my heart,
My hard chords,
A resistance
Of all what's forbidden.
My passion resists
In the middle of sounds
And chaos.
