POEM: MY PERSONAL SOUNDTRACK

By L.M. Ross

Photobucket

Even if no one

Ever sees

My movie…

There oughta be

A soundtrack to

My life. A rhythm…

A rhythm,

To my walk,

Like Shaft’s

A cat-like grace,

Choreographed, by

Me.

There oughta be some tom-toms

Pounding some

Urgent drums sounding

The long drawn

Song of my

Discontent. There oughta be some

Sad sexy

Saxophone thrown in

For tender moments…

Some strings

Played and serenades

Made to commemorate

Those Blue Moods, too…

Even if no one

Ever sees my movie

There oughta be

A soundtrack

To my life…

A discordant set played to

The complex maze,

A cadence to this

Strut of Independence…

If this day be my

Masterpiece,

My freak dance,

My opus,

Let the pace of

A Hip-hop beat

Speed thru my progress…

Let the guitar’s wah-wah play

Me cool and

Ridiculous.

Let my lyrics be

Sweetened by

A ménage of flutes

And a mad marathon of

Trumpets...

And let my adversities

Be accompanied by

Something like a

SCREEEEEEEEAM!

And let my adversities

Be accompanied by

Something like a

SCREEEEEEEEAM!

See, there oughta be

A soundtrack

Some mean-ass brass,

A ballsy high-hat…

And a crazy

Cry… of tenor sax

To accent it all.

Even if no one

Ever sees

My movie

There oughta be

Some music,

Some attempt at harmony

And some chords played

Finally, finally right…

To accompany … this

Riff, this flight,

This trip-hop scat bop

Doo-doo-wow

Jazz flop

I call

My Life.

About me:

On Sale Now!!! ***Get My Book Here!***

Author, Poet, Novelist, Complex Carbohydrate. Poetry is my first love, and it's been published extensively over the last 10 years. I am also the author of the novel entitled: "MANHOOD... The Longest Moan." It's now available at bookstores nationwide and overseas. Check it out IF you can handle an *adult* story with a beat, a pace, a heart, and a soul that’s rich in poetic realness. Manhood… The Longest Moan is published by Q-Boro/Urban Books...

Yeah, I'm a Writer, a Thinker, and a Lover of Humanity...but none of these things make me any Better, Greater, More Important or Epic than the next cat or chick. Note to all Artists: Let's keep our Egos in check up in here, shall we? Unless you have the cure for Cancer, Diabetes, M.S. or AIDS, then you're simply another person with talent... a talent bestowed upon you by The Creator... so... with that in mind: *PONDER... a Reality Check!* Reality Check!!!

Book Quote:

"Sometimes, the sound of Tito Puente's timbales would salsa Pascal coolly down East 183rd Street, and he felt high. That night, in fact, he WAS high, spinning off cheap wine, good reefer, and sounds. He was feeling no pain and almost breathing the syntax of singing. That was when the streets, the people, and all of it became sort of beautiful, and even poverty put on a better suit of clothes."

From Manhood... The Longest Moan, by LM Ross

GOD.

Not before my time, mind you! But a serious Face to face, or Spirit to spirit conversation with The Creator would be very fly indeed.

Secondly... Photobucket Barack and Michelle Obama: because I think that the fascination they exude derives from the fact that they are very REAL people.
