My Music Poem by Kevin East

My Music



Hey, heal me with that rock and roll
Steal me with the sweetest soul.
Seduce me with the coolest jazz
Hang loosely to some hot pizzazz.
I'll tap out rhythm in my shoes
Then join the sad choir in lonely blues.
Yet now I feel the violin bliss
I'm sure the flute blew me a kiss.
Our soundtrack as I glided with you
To dance in dreams to ballad true.
With tinkle of piano, I sigh
That twinkle in my lost night sky.
Tunes that haunt me from afar
And find me in some seedy bar.
So when I'm feeling like a monk
Heat me up with some raging punk
Breaking free with every curse
Anarchy in every verse.
And when the wailing guitars whine
With clash of drums
That beat divine
Starts to travel up my spine.
Now, I'll hold my woman to some schmaltz
In twilight memory
As we did waltz
Cheek to cheek around your house
Just you and I
And Johann Strauss.
I remember when that Salsa sweet
Lent my ears that latin beat
Emerging from my happy feet
We danced in love out on the street.
And so my friends my music cheers
My heart it holds throughout the years.
So heal me someone,
Just play or croon.
Then reveal me to the moon.
I want to die
Later or soon
Quaking, shaking
To a tune.

displays how instrumental music is to us(sorry irresistably bad joke) . its been elevated above the background role it usually plays for us to the forefront where it is always subtly intervening. great poem, great range of music.
