“SUMMER NIGHT BLUES”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
A summer’s night with you,
just here, playing the blues…
Soft words to you I sing
ones I know of, or choose…

Guitar plays with rhythm,
flows like a gentle breeze…
Sounds lurking, in my mind,
inside me, to only tease…

Listen to words, to believe,
yours am I, this very night…
A lover wanted close,
will you stay, by candlelight…

Just playing this 12 bar blues,
strumming, wondering if you will…
Tonight is when you’ll choose
both hearts we’ll fulfill…

I can relate to those blues
they come in shades for all seasons.
But there is something about the summertime
that plays a different tune.  'Tis true.

Bill darling boy this was as usual for you utterly utterly wonderful. Its such a special read each word flowing into the next. No one writes the way you do darling boy nobody.

You are an utterly UTTERLY superb writer and this is fabulous.

I always enjoy your writing this makes such a clear point about natural rhythm this positively sings to me. I can hear the music, play that funky music

Wonderful writing truly wonderful

*grin* looks like you have an audience to hear your beautiful music..I know that your songs are flown on the winds that blow over the mountains to Alberta....Beautiful. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
