Guitar Beside my bed you stand, Head bent low in silent servitude, Neck slender, catching neons glow, Fingertips touch lightly, steely sinews, A sirens whisper " Take me now", Clasping Adams heart to Eves form, In fervent phallic ritual, we fly, You sing for me alone ! A symbiotic coupling of mind and wood, Where do I end... and you begin, Half a life spent in jealous obsession, Making mockery of labour, Until you have me trapped, Mother of pearl and coiled wire, My only release..... For I am nothing without you. |

Well put. I also have this passion and it brings me many a lost moment well worth the escape. Keep the passion and the truth.  |

I can tell you are a musician, and the poem captured me both ways, I feel your passion to music, but also I see this instrument being reflected as a women that you adore....I love it! are you acoustic player? I bet your music is as lovely as your poem! Welcome to passions!  |

There is nothing like a graceful guitar solo I go weak at the knees when I listen to Free bird by Lynard skynard, or motorcycle emptiness by Manic street preachers. A wonderful poem for a wonderful instrument. "Guitar Whoo" A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Corinne - I guess I'm obsessed, 12 hours a day for 25 years, I think people will say get a life (lol) Thanks for sharing my obsession. SEA I have this love hate thing going on, you know cant live with it but cant live without it, thanks for loving my addiction B.M. I/m sorry but Freebird has never made me weak in the knees, just in the fingers , that solo is a marathon, but in that instant you get it right, ( well you know what I mean ) Thanks for supporting all that I am Olias |

Very, very well written. I too share your passion for the guitar, but alas, I have never made the committment which you so obviously have to your art. I would love to hear you play. Love is like the measles.....the older you are, the harder it hits you! |

You obviously love your guitar as much as I do. I've got an Ibanez acoustic. Not a bad guitar, sounds a lot like a Gibson. I used to have a lot of electric guitars when I played in a band years ago. I had a hand made Fender Esquire one of the originals with a little silver cap you could put over the pick-up where the strings start at the body. I have never seen one since, although I know they are out there. I had an original Strat (hand made). I had a Gibson Les Paul Jr. soild body red in color with a double cutaway. I had a Swedish Hagstrom black in color very narrow fret board. I wish I had them all now - some would be worth a lot of money but you know how it is, a young fella and his need for quick cash.. Oh great poem by the way! |

Notlikely2 - Thanks for your kind words,I see your in the Uk so if your ever in Manchester on a wind blown Friday night I can usually be found on a stage somewhere around town. Friday night is blues night yipee (lol). Ethome - Sounds like you have had some nice guitars in the past I play an Ibanez (steve vai) on stage now as my main guitar, its a mean machine but I stil prefer my old acoustic thanks for the reply.
