Excellent piece Robert
I liked the following lines
"They somehow rekindle My dreams
Inside the womb of my warmist ideas"
A Profound poem.
Peace

Have ya been watching some
American Idol Robert?
Always a pleasure to read
your words......

"Here I am in a coliseum of charmed embraces,
Where I am the entire audience
And your music sings only to me"

Great images, and the whole poem is a train of consciousness...

I love the music you are writing about. You have penned this so wonderfully. You have showed us that poetry and music are definitely on the same level. Great job Jude.

Such a caccooned write, like being in utero... soft and suspended and yet in a heightened state of being able to differentiate the differences between all shades of light and dark and all textures of sound and meaning. The mental patterns and designs here are kaleidoscopic and the feeling almost tactile. Truly "in touch and connected". Seems to totally align with your Watching You Bleed poem in terms of its POV and setting, but what a glorious transformation of the subject - who would appear to be now singing to the heavens! :)) Taut and yet delicate and sounds like winds playing across the strings of a harp... heart-shaped, but of course! Angels and Celts would love this! A beautifully molto legato write, Jude. Molto piaciuto. TY K xx

I heard this kind of music only once in my life, and you describe this so beautifully, in your verses, Jude!

Hey Ace,

Umbilical Chords serve to give life but must, one day, be cut in order for life to move forward. It's the circle where the end is the beginning.

Love & Light always and in all ways,

Absolute perfection...

You must be listening to some fantastic poetry....

A delightful musical journey into a musical sound fest... pure and unique delight, good poet. Sound: that wonderful miracle of human, honey to the human ear. Love finds a new way to excite and to smooth. Thanks for this one. - Bill

Truly enjoyed this very fnely tuned symphony of metaphorical composition and aesthetic appreciation. The truh of the testimony presented in UMBILICAL CHORDS would seem to be evidenced by the inspired beauty in its own lines.

Oh this is beautiful...well done my friend!!

Love Tinka

Aha! Perfect, Jude! You have created a masterpiece, and created an aura of it being only for me, in this moment of time. Beautiful!!

Peace. Joyce

You certainly know how to put the magic of love's own music into lyrics that all of us lovers and life writers can understand. This is beutiful my friend, well done.

Fee

You know Robert, everytime I read you, I'm forever left with the image of you standing before and easel, studying each brush stroke carefully as to make sure, each one will be perfect.
You truly are a master of word.

Lisa

There is no more profound contentment or sense of fulfillment than this, when the attunement is this perfect. Wonderful poem!
Love,

This one is so well expressed Jude.
Inside a song
Of life and rebirth "

Light & peace,
Joselyn

This is so beautiful. Such simple words I use to compliment your words, I'm sorry for that, but I don't know how else to describe how this poem touches. Thank you. You are such an inspiration for me, and I'm sure for others, to continue writing.

Perfect acoustics, RJ. Reverberates Moods in Motion. We tied this one off and put your umbilical cord in a turtle-beaded pouch centuries ago. Nice revival of UMBILICAL CHORDS...

Sage

It was as though you were playing a mystical instrument of sounds.

Wonderful twining of themes and that touch without "staccato" has been doubly piqued in the mechanics and flow of musical and birth terms. From the conception of a song to the birth of loves desire and tender embrace, you've penned one heck of a masterwork, Jude. It oscillates and undulates and takes me places I long to return to.
Love,
Taylor

If music be the food of love, play on, as the bard put it. Victor

At one with the experience. This is a streem of thought at its best.

Carmen

Think about memories and how music has influenced so much of our lives. Love and negative memories all are built around mudic. It is the best of life when music sets the pace. I write my better love compositions when my Muse is getting down with Dianah Krull or Sting, to name a few. When music is traveling the nerves in our bodies and awakening passion...you won't catch me complaining. Listen to Enigma and see if you don't feel every musical beat going through your passions then get back withme. I always admire your poetry. It makes sense within my deepest thoughts.

Susan

Beautifully expressed, Jude. As always, an enjoyable read.
Peace,
Carolyn

L o v e . i t !

Excellent in the actual feeling tone of a lyrical poem. I felt my Heart leaping with joy as your words lifted me to a free place Soaring Inside a song With delight..
Thank you for such a beautiful display of words!!
Outstanding Umbilical Chords of music!!
Love and Peace To You Always...Morning Star

this is too beautiful for words, Jude. and glad to see you made it back from the zen state :) D.

What a beautiful poem, Jude! I was captive within your image-rich verses and wrapped within the perfect embrace of the of the melding souls. Absolute excellence!

Take care,

Sherry

what a super ending! good job quite subtle/ i really like "coliseum of charmed embraces"

This soars, and whoever reads it should soar along with it, because it is a rare sonata that was magnificently composed!

Enchanting is the word that comes to my mind as I read this. Wonderful how some people can touch us in this manner.
