05.23.13 His music births poetry in my heart...

by G. Angel

His music births poetry in my heart...

He had a sound...

That made her cry for all the broken hearts,
Painted everlasting winters -
Floral patterns etched in ice;
A frozen tear to
Soften up the bastard bones.

Bow made love to needy string
In cooing fling - wanton whispers
Fondled under pianissimos,
Caressing callous hearts.

Melodrama swayed in satin sound -
Yet the player wasn't there,
Only creamy song - soothing, yearning,
Teasing bitter minds.

I sensed her persevering loneliness
For beauty of an evening,
Romance of a tune - laughing,
Sobbing at the fire.

Then a climax -
Writhing passion cutting deep -
Wounding macho flesh;

And all in a work of musical art:
Ephemeral stories, yarned of music
Honed impossibly through her tones, he somehow knew how she felt everyday of her life.

05.17.13 Diamonds On The Inside - LIVE, SOLO, ACOUSTIC

by asauton83

Quite a few years ago, probably close to 10, I saw a clip on Channel V of Ben performing a live acoustic version of DOTI.
It was a solo performance too, and I've been searching for it on and off since but can't seem to find it anywhere!
It was at a festival in Oz somewhere but that's about all I know... I figure if anyone can help me, I will find them here!!
