I Had A Dove

"Coastal Isle"

Down by the birds on coastal isle
the perfume of mist on salty waves
sinking amber floors between my toes

The smell of mint, skybeaks frequent rocks
of white in the dark, ambient night

Everything is in a shadow mime
and I, a lonesome ghost

I haunt the scenes of picnic greens;
butterflies once nestled in my hair
a tangled mane, I unfold with you

In silence we lay on amber shores
beside the mint-green tide
while the waves rolled by and by
my heart ached like a heavy rope—

Down by the birds on coastal isle
mint green waves on salty shores
amber floors sink underfoot

Water makes dreamers of us all.

Lith K - More Than (Southmind Edit)

I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.

You have been mine before,—
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's soar
Your neck turn'd so,
Some veil did fall,—I knew it all of yore.

Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?

Sudden Light

I'm gonna walk to the graveyard
'Hind ma friend Miss Cora Lee.
Gonna walk to the graveyard
'Hind ma dear friend Cora Lee
Cause when I'm dead some
Body'll have to walk behind me.

I'm goin' to the po' house
To see ma old Aunt Clew.
Goin' to the po' house
To see ma old Aunt Clew.
When I'm old an' ugly
I'll want to see somebody, too.

The po' house is lonely
An' the grave is cold.
O, the po' house is lonely,
The graveyard grave is cold.
But I'd rather be dead than
To be ugly an' old.

When love is gone what
Can a young gal do?
When love is gone, O,
What can a young gal do?
Keep on a-lovin' me, daddy,
Cause I don't want to be blue.

Hughes read widely and deeply, responding to the work of those who came before him and setting the stage for those who would come after. Of the many poets and authors who had an influence on his writing, he cites Paul Laurence Dunbar, Carl Sandburg, and Walt Whitman as the most influential. His life and work were enormously influential during the Harlem Renaissance. An artistic, literary, and intellectual movement, the Harlem Renaissance provided varied opportunities for group expression and self-determination for African Americans living in Harlem and beyond. The parallel emergence of jazz and the blues, however, was rejected by many African Americans who considered it low class, secular, and morally disfiguring due to its association with drugs, alcohol, dancing, and other morally “loose” behaviors. Langston Hughes was the only black writer during the Renaissance who became truly taken with jazz; he infused his poetry with the sounds and feeling of the blues–its improvisational nature, syncopated rhythms, and repetitive phrases–creating a powerful challenge to the status quo.

It was the music and its consequences in Harlem that still inspired Langston Hughes the most. This next poem [Young Gal’s Blues] is a heart-rending blues that wouldn’t have sounded out of place accompanied by a jazz or blues band back then or even today. In those Harlem days, all the jazz bands played blues and the blues musicians often doubled as jazz players to earn more money...

Hughes is quoted as saying, “My seeking has been to explain and illuminate the Negro condition in America and obliquely that of all human kind.”

Skyrim (Theme - Cover)

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

This the English adaptation of a wise saying from the Persian poet Rumi. I have pasted a printout of this in my room's wall. I look up and recite this whenever I find myself getting anxious about something. It appeases me.

For the best experience, 
-  Click on the song's picture for words and notes.
-  in Album/Playlist/Spotlight, first click on the big picture to the left, then on the new page click the track title. Really, it's worth the effort :) 

With Blake you will see his painting too. Each picture is in dialogue with the words (not just illustrating them).

Bards have combined music & poetry from earliest times. Many poets continue the connection, not least William Blake. But often their melodies are lost or neglected.
