Music is inspired
By poetry and stories
Music breathes slowly
Poetry is here
Inside the ambient ice
Inside Naviar
Naviar Records
For the sixth in their series
Produce glowing drones
Police sirens that
Flash by in the wink of an
Eye that never sleeps
August summer nights
Call out to the listener
Restless solitude
Endless humid nights
Cicada memories that
stay well secluded
Three and twenty songs
Of Beauty and suffering
Static overwhelms
Chirping birds can calm
a dissonance that covers
Everything it can
Music opens doors
A haiku for every song
Whispers in the ear
The creak of a stair
An unnatural event
Phantoms reside here
Sounds of radios
Play back voices that have left
One world for the next
Oh so quiet drones
Drift away on wings of love
Sleep is all I want
Ambient layers
Ripple and shimmer over
Stunningly blue lakes
You can get lost here
The labyrinth is dark and
Beautifully so
Waking up to rain
Falling outside the window
Sleep won’t come again
Wind chimes kiss the air
Over and over and soon
Their innocence fades
Repetitive beats
Are stained like ink in the night
A sexy rhythm
Nightly flirtations
Rhythms that are made for sex
The vinyl plays on
“Melodic Silence”
Fades in and out over time
Throbbing in cycles
Tundras and seagulls
A haiku is selected
And it is chosen
Notes fall down and weep
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Clouds are here to stay
Ambient music
Experimental music
Relax and listen
Drums sound battle cries
Musical leviathans
Fiery copper scales
Drones distort and change
Flowing back out to sea and
Renewing themselves
Some struggle with life
Life is sometimes a struggle
When I look at her
The lonely people
Are now getting lonelier
Music helps to heal. (James Catchpole)
* “August summer nights
I sit on my back porch stairs
Showered in stars”
* “Finding old mix tapes
Makes you nostalgic for how
Lame you used to be”
* “The voice of a ghost
Past memories, echo now
In the empty stream”
* “Shadows of horses
Galloping across my wall
Outrunning the night”
