Dinner with Coltrane


Our last evening spent together
Was romantically set in blue candles,
The brilliant sounds of John Coltrane
And a late meal on the balcony,
As the moon shined on my hopes
Of you giving me this last chance…
I wanted to shower you with love and words,
Appealing to that part of you that still cared;
But the sounds of Coltrane blew to life
Those beats in your beautiful heart
And I could see by your smile
His hypnotizing notes touched your soul
Like butterflies scattering in a yellow field
Or red and orange leaves showering a playful child.

Are those tears you now cry for me?
Or are they a need to understand the sweet silence
Heard between the sobs of his silver sax
Blowing into the night, my sins and your forgiveness…


Marcel

Okay, now you gotta write the sequel!
What was the answer?
Inquiring poets want to know

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
