Premium Member A Grin from Ear to Leer
I wear a smiley face, the sad world to cheer, With a red smile painted across my face from ear to ear. My shoes are monstrous, my laugh billows, raucous out loud. I'm the jester dancing in your face to please the crowd. But deep within this masked disguise of paint, Something inside has died, that's neither funny, silly nor...

Premium Member King of Clowns
You laughed too hard in 1996/ Thought I'd trip and stay down for kicks/ But I climbed back up, twice the size/ Now I shred, watch the sparks fly/ My drummer joked, said guitars are lame/ Left him roadside, questioning fame/ Why does a guitar need a case, he asked/ To contain its stringed up past/ Steel strings bend, the pick obeys/ My...

Acta est fabula, plaudite
What I sing from my chest Only for ivory keys to hear. Are the same old words That cracked lips bear. That familiar tune that calloused fingers play Is the one that my own heart aches to say. I have plucked and I have strummed But when its my own heartstrings That are plucked for the masses Will my soul succumb or...

Premium Member MASTERPIECE SHINE
Curtain rises Rhythm and Tone The start off with the Pianist hitting those ivories with gifted fingers Melody enriched through Suddenly the Violin joined in with string mellow sweeps of musical waves Immediately the Trumpet added the flair of what music can create The thought of wizardry of wisdom came to mine Music freedom explored All other musical instruments gathered in high and...

You make the music this solemn heart beats like a drum when you're in view an arrangement full of ache pulls from under my skin drawn to you, your vibration I lap up every sound spilling from your lips tasting your silver tounge soul instrumentation, how delicious is this sin A willing victim of your siren song ...

The Ledger
In smoky halls where echoes groan, They carved the truths in tempered stone, Yet none recall the scribe who wrote, A chap in boots and mismatched coat. His quill was plucked from harpy's wing, He’d hum while making corpses sing, And in his book, no saints nor rules, Just jesters crowned as sacred fools. He’d scrawl: “The Pharaohs danced in socks,” “Atlantis sank for...

How to write a hit
Fingers so sore from learning the chords, Getting the rhytme without knowing the words. It all sounds so good here in my head, Blood from my fingers turning the fret board red. But I've got to keep trying, just carry on, Or the thoughts that inspired me will be lost and all gone. I've got to decide on the ideal...

The Wind of Change and Electric Fire
From Hanover's heart, a thunder rolled, A scorpion's sting, a story told. Through decades vast, their music soared, A legacy in rock forever stored. Rudolf Schenker, the steady hand, Whose riffs ignited every land. His Flying V, a lightning strike, That fueled the passion day and night. Klaus Meine's voice, a soaring cry, That reached for heavens, way up high. A power ballad's tender grace, Or...
