The Museum

That colour magic

Masterworks

Young eyes

With no lies

a play

Of imagination for a day

To understand

This world land

For small hands

Great art scales

Of enchanted tales

a still undiscovered world

a treasure trove to swirl

Even for the smallest child

at the Museum let them go wild

They look at angles without wings

Light even if they are marble

Marvellous secrets to be discovered

Be the Medici, be David

See the rebirth of Venus in their eyes

These small spies are our prize and our wise

Nurture, care, be there

Eleonora and Giovanni gaze

On this wonderful gift of a maze

The flight of Egypt has past

Give them this

a memory museum kiss x

Music Today

A chime without an echo

Time had already forgot

Conductors with many strings

Flung from genre to genre

Their heart without a metronome

A polymer orchestra

Sighs it's synthetic soul

Cartilage words in

Rotunda bovine jowls

Blank lines blank minds

Fertile soil for clichés

Melisma is the song bird now

Chords balding wings

Puddle deep verses

Where the unknown

Remains untouched

What was the favourite

Just yesterday is old

And laughable To-day

A deja vu of remakes.

Today's Music is

An irking dissatisfaction

Leaving us wanting

like the last breath of a cigarette.
