Harmony in Dissonance

Harmony in Dissonance
Form: Epistle

Namaste my love

In you I see the conflict of femininity
the dissonance of womanhood
yet in all that prissy and pouty fuss
I find my harmony
the tranquillity that empowers
my masculinity
the luxurious lustre of gender identity
emancipated in liberated sensual intimacy
and all the delicious decadence hidden
behind the mask of cold social respectability
a society devoid of desire and pleasure
a soulless world unknown by love
so close the door, my heart
shut that world out
hush, now my love,
we are free
free to be
free to love

All ways, all ways
Your Crazy-assed poet xxx

Lyrics by U2

Lover, I’m off the streets
Gonna go where the bright lights
And the big city meet
With a red guitar, on fire
Desire

She’s a candle burnin’ in my room
Yeah, I’m like the needle
The needle and spoon
Over the counter, with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody’s got one

I’m in a fever, when I’m beside her

Desire
Desire
And the fever, gettin’ higher
Desire
Desire
Burning
Burning

She’s the dollars
She’s my protection
Yeah, she’s a promise
In the year of election
Oh sister, I can’t let you go
Like a preacher stealin’ hearts at a travellin’ show
For love or money, money, money
Money, money, money, money, money
Money, money, money

And the fever, gettin’ higher

Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire
Desire, hey

Van Baaren was a composer and teacher. He studied with Rudolph Breithaupt and Friedrich Koch at the Stern conservatory in Berlin from 1924-29, followed by Willem Piiper in the Netherlands from 1929. From 1934, Van Baaren adopted Piiper’s germ cell technique in his compositions. Whilst Van Baaren composed some music in an accessible tonal style, he developed towards a serial technique, which emerged full as a Septet for five winds, violin, and double bass in 1952
