Music is the blood that runs through my veins. A poem.

June 11, 2009

We asked our instructors how music has touched their lives. Here is a very cool poem submitted by rockstar instructor Mark Troiano. Mark teaches music lessons in Malden, MA.

Music is the blood that runs through my veins.

I am the
Harmony
And
The
Melody –
For Music is my Muse
And I bemuse Her.

A
Love Struck
Dumb Struck
Drum Struck
Drum Stick

Like a Lover
I carry Her in my arms
And like a Wayward Son
She carries me
Home –

Is where the heart is
But mine is a triadic Tee Pee
Do
Mi
Sol

On 1 3 5 I place my bet and roll
On into the Night
Down by the Fire Light
But will it ever burn as bright
As my Lover as my lover from the Invisible Light?

A bird speaks
And I
Understand
Then
Let It All Go
From the
Palm
Of
My
Hand.
