this poetry of blues
these blues faded into night long ago
along your journey to the world; these
eyes open red singing each refrain,
every moribund note, from horn to voice.
"no no no!" there still are ears
aching to hear Sweet Emma sing
"I'm Alone Because I Love You.”

It's not over until she sings.... love blues, oh just lovely blues to soothe the passions of love! Ha! Ha! Your poem just put me on a thoughtful phase!
ReplyDeleteLike Karen I really love the blues! I'm toe tappin' to Sweet Emma as I cook dinner! "I'm Alone Because I Love You" is right up there with "I'd Be Outta Jail Now if I'd Shot You When I Shoulda"! Happy weekend!
