Love Forever

Hearts stalled to clock like drums.

Tic-toc protestants groan from the literal strain.

Literal literature rising and falling in the refrain.

Tones light as whispers then deep as tubas.

Saxophone melodies and guitar lullabies.

Violin screams from off-key players.

Off Key, Off Kilter

Restring your strings oh sweet violin player.

Play yet a sweet violin Romance.

Let not my heart wail anymore.

I have waited so long for the saxophonic beauty.

Sweet jazz and r&b.

A classical melody with a whisper of metal undertones.

Let me sleep sweetly in my awakeness,

Drink in the passionate living.

Dear sweetheart,

My mind is a wonder.

How many, how long? Do I have with you?

This beat which resonates, Let it be our hearts.

Thump-thump times infinity,

Plus the cycle of life rain and sunshine.
