Best Piano Poems

It's 3 am,
her pillow soaked in regret.
Loss has left her spirit lonesome,
darkness a definition of insanity.

In the silence of the night,
vexatious voices vibrate inside
her somber state of mind.

Restless, she sits at her proverbial piano,
as a plethora of pain bleeds through
her fingers onto ebony and ivory...

Porcelain keys create
         Passionate sonatas
         Pitched in dulcet notes through
         Prewritten preludes that

My piano sits alone a lot of days,
       Waiting for someone to come along who plays.
Usually that someone is my son or me,
       But lately since he's in college, it's been me, you...

My late father 
    played gorgeous music 
on his Steinway 
Debussy, Ravel, Beethoven 
    along with his own compositions
He set eight of my poems to music

Every Hanukkah he would play "Rock...

Like shining jewels tossed into the air
Each note rings out with brilliant  voice
Gifted fingers flying on ivory wings
This magic that makes my heart rejoice

Music that rocks me on gentle waves
Or ride where raging fires have been
Coloring the prisms that are my tears
The piano- evoking...

Piano Teacher

 Adored her timely teaching skills
Adored the way she never yelled nor screamed!
 even when my Piano lesson bored the heck out of me and  
 my fingers hurt badly you see we  had no piano at home
 so after school, you...

Now yellowed with age
a lonely music book,
hidden in every page
old musician dreams

of endless nights passed
struggling with melodies,
lovely trills and arpeggios,
etudes and symphonies;

a sentry keeping watch
over dirtied ivory keys
played and loved once
by souls of olden days;

labors of faceless men
held close to its breast,
strains still remembered
kept deep...

Internal Quote by Albert Einstein

  

On the eve of the invasion, the world braced for an upheaval.
Two ancient foes were poised for war, a war between Good and Evil.

and only acts of heroic bravery...

"The Blues Released"



Black velvet 
sits between 
what is read

burning 
the bluest blue

You been in that casket for three days..
You a long way from Chicago, son?"

Where am I?"

Melodic passion, lilting harmonies lull my slender fingers, 
when I play with the stringed keyboard, I sink into the  mellifluous music, can feel the gentle keys under my fingertips softly as the alchemy notes cadence spasmodically. 

Swirling colours lost in time, chimes of the...

Our piano with silence speaks
The rickety rocking chair squeaks
Where Mama sits and stares each day
Music memories stored away
Our loved inheritance remains
Melodies cycling through our brains....
