In the Garden of Your Thoughts

accompanying score: Logicus Nexus Emporius

(a words-to-melody piece...)



(oboe- words to melody)
Sleeping deep within winds
              through the garden of your thoughts,
  I dream of you...

As the towering billows of clouds pass by
                                              they change...
.
(harp, descending- words to melody)
...darkly, darkly, in our dreams here,
            ever fading, in our dreams here,
  clouded by the vapors rising
                                high...
 
(harp ascending)

(harp, piano- music as background to narrated words)
Narration:
in the sunlight...
the earth breaks ever wider...   
              swirling with poison air
      thick with ammonia bicarbonate
                    fumes 
  coloring the sun farewell
                        as gasses settle
  in the hollows of the faded tenements of our dreams,
      monolithic towers pierce the sky
in dizzying shadowy scenes
  of metaphysical gymnastic dances
                    with Newton on a far-off distant cloud...

(high violas- words to melody)
then, we die
                    die...

(low violas- words to melody)
we've come, laden heavy
            with trials of a broken social path...
  we  breathe
                          breathe

breathe another breath...


(steady piano, oboes- words to melody)
    astral message
                    see Atlantis rise
        high above the waves...

(cymbals, violas- words to melody)
                    buttressed against columns
bracing our thoughts,
      cantilevers of sanity fly
                          through subplots of our mind...

(oboe- words to melody)
Lechery waiting...
                  Libido sates
mistic ideologies sprouting from portals of mystical time
 
(low viola- words to melody)
opus
        ballets

              pirouette through the days

(bass- words to melody)
tiny feet
        levitate
              glassy gaze
                        withering
                              night dawns in the garden of your mind.

    Cool music - too - fits the episodic nature of poem. Daring harmonic content. Like the heartbeat near the end - all that's left on sea of consciousness - the ballerina skittering above sea level.

    YUM

    Sounds more like cooking than a garden - but this is fantasy, therefore a food garden. Clever, concise way of putting it - going from leavening (awakening) to rock (past), pudding (present), to souffle (libido/desire) and finally a light levitation (future/rest). Seems almost like a tour through the specific parts of the brain. Quite an adventure. I like the ancient and Baroque images - almost Italian.

    The opening of leaven and white powder seems to reference residue of drugs, but may be the brain's own ability to power up - an increase in spirit - coffee helps raise the consciousness - thanks for breakfast of thought.

    WHOA

    This is way, way to deep for me to understand, but I'm sure it is a wonderful piece of poetic penning. The vocabulary is a one!

    this is wayyyyy over my head. I did read it twice though. Maybe it's a generation gap thing. I am climbing the ladder of age and am reaching the farthest rung lol.

    Very impressive and intellectual poem. It's definitely one for those who have a little bit of background in science or that have a dictionary near by. However, with the poem subject, the metaphors draw really well. I also like the way you've structured the lines-- the breaking of them are suitable with the rhythm. My one complaint is that some of it may be a little above some people's comprehension, due to a lot of people not having too much of a scientific background [I know that I don't, haha]. However, beyond that, it reads well. Thank you for sharing!

    Darlin,it's more than Auntie's mind can grasp.Extravagantly ornate both in intent and words. I follow you most of the way,however.It seems akin to the Beatles "Lucy". I did however enjoy this lines voice,"ideologies sprout within portals of time spewing forth their cheesy soufflé.Opus ballets underfoot, pirouetting tiny feet lieitating above your glassy gaze." For it's humor played out in my grasp of the piece. If this came across,as anything but praise of your intellect.Please,by all means,delete me.Not my intentions atall! LOL~Suseann I haven't a clue!
