Poetry and Music

The poet in me makes my heart to sing

Inherent in me such jubilance to bring

The serenity in me my mind to bestow

‘Tis poetry and music in abundance to know

Laura Simoes

The ebullient rapport between poetry and music is wondrously structured and kindled, in all its simplicity and unspoken melody. What poetry and music do to the mind must only be experienced, and such experience is complacent to not only transcend entertainment, rather acquiesce the listener to substantiate a state of wholeness … in mind and body.

In “The Mozart Effect”, Don Campbell illustrates how exposure to sound, music and other forms of vibration can have a lasting effect on health, learning and behavior. Categorically, merging the appropriate music and poetry can establish an innocuous effect upon the enthralled listener. It is compelling to assume that such a duo configuration does not, in any form, alter the mere efficacy of the poem. Rather, it is an astute molding which manifests its imagery upon the essence of the listener.

Poetry and music maintain a vivacious, yet altruistic, cardinal response to anyone seeking a pleasurable resurgence through poetry. A revival of the mind is a justification that poetry and music have the intensity to accomplish a perfect renewal of self through an immaculate partnership, which resonates at any given moment.

The mind has the propensity to preserve images, nestling and mirrored to poetry and music, in variable forms and vivid colors, quite incapable of our comprehension. These images can filter in and out of our subconscious state, whenever one is in perfect harmony with their essence. This free, floating mind, in its dramatization, is adept of unleashing a myriad of positive effects physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The efficacy of such a host of positive effects is duly manifested and illustrated in our intrepid advocacy and interpretation of the dual combination prevalent in poetry and music … the irrevocable nourishment for the soul … and without which the soul can struggle and hunger as it is denied a bountiful array of nutrition, the plentitude of which may just be what softens its rocky nonplussed foundation.

Poetry and music encompasses a resonating supplement for the soul … mirrored in any form … the efficacy of which penetrates to induce brainwave entrainment. Musicians and poets strive to pioneer in groundbreaking discoveries of the domino effect of poetry and music combinations to establish a creative mind pattern from a beautiful musical soundtrack.

Shakespeare, in his play “Twelfth Night”, refers to music as the food of love. I quote:-

“If music be the food of love, play on. Give me excess of it, that surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken and slowly die”.

Poetry and music assimilate in perfect congruence in the minds and hearts of poets. Shakespeare’s reference to music as “food of love” justifies that music is a cherished and vital component of a basic human hunger for love.

The juxtaposition of poetry and music ventures an unequivocal submission in the world of poetry and will continue to bestow the novelty that ensures it is a manifestation of beauty and infallible indulgence. It has the propensity to be an inspiration, articulating two distinct forms of art into one … in its beguiled impeccable innocence.

There is an ebullient allegiance which ascertains its presence between poetry and music … a wondrous togetherness … essaying to capture a relationship and bonding which permeates deeply into stratums of rhymes and verses as each musical note is struck, each chord is played. The resultant perfect alignment of yet another piano bar, in tune with the spoken voice of a stanza, nurtures the gradient momentum and succumbs to captivity a flawless sonnet, while germinating the intricate liaison between poetry and music.

Infallible is the illustrious alliance between poetry and music. The underlying value from this relationship is the creative enhancement to the poet or listener, who vehemently draws introspection from the lucrative capacity inherent therein. The application of rhyme and rhythm in poetry and music conjugates exceptional stimulation which intensifies a powerful pattern into personal insight.

In all its simplicity, poetry and music will endeavor to extemporize the silhouette of nonpareil reverence and transcendence, empowering the ardent mind to pragmatically epitomize and extricate its conscious level of creativity, thereby diminishing the extraneous and mundane illusion, which seeks to annihilate our effervescent creative soul.
