Bring it blue to me
With B.B. fondling Lucile in a passionate throe
Of eye closing release
     Each forceful pluck one string closer you know
To the edge of oblivion
   And I’ll wrap it up for you
In pages of scribbled notes half finished in rhyme
Or some groping reach to find Persian meter
Of once upon someone’s time

Hell with the constructs
     Dictated by the P O E T R Y police
I’ll find my own lines on the white to write
So close your eyes
                         Or blink twice
Cause when the Blue sits heavy thighs on my lips
Begging the touch of some unknown tongue
  That might sip dew from the cracks

I got no reason to play the same
        Brick brake tune of words that might grace
Some small town memory
       Or to hum anything but the best of vibes
With trembling lips against the reed of her

If it’s true
       Then the south done won after all you know
If it ain’t
                    Then Billie lied before she tasted too much
And her passing don’t mean a thing
Just like mine won’t
                 When you’ve forgotten how it was to feel
The drop to bass and the rhythm of drums
  Played on skin with lights low
          Embracing too many deaths you already had
Looking for one more
                    To put you in the realms of ecstasy


So bring it to me blue

                        And I’ll listen while you

Sing some sad notes or simple cry the tears
      Bottled up inside for aging
                   And when you are through

I’ll spit the notes of you from my tongue
      And mix them with the ashes
Of what you burned
                 To stain again some indecent lines
On this the blue
                              Of paper white

The four letter f word has been expanded to read "fantastic!"

Yes..... the South definitely won that round....and some others.

This is so smooth, like the virtuosity it shows....Jazz does have two meanings....one of which is (fine), and the other, (!) the other.....and your jazz? Oh yeah.....

Even though I can't always find the words sufficient enough to reply to your wonderful writes here on the blue...I still love reading them. And, though my "blues" don't sound nearly as good as yours, I sure do feel them sometimes.
Hugs,

Oh, my... oh my oh my oh my...

Your poetry always impresses me... today, it's absolutely blowing me away... and here... gives me music along with the words.

Fantastic, indeed!!! *S*

That's easy -- I think you're one of the best, if not the best, singers in this choir....
