As the music
fills my soul
my hands begin
to write out the tempo in
my heart
and the sway and flow
of song shows itself
in my lines
And then the skirt
I am wearing moves
too as if the music
and words express
my femininity and
I sing and my eyes
close and my soul bleeds
The door opens to my inner
sensuality and my hair
falls over the face of
passionate peace
and I turn it up louder
to block out the noise
from the world trying to know me
Then Etta James fills me
and yes, “I’d rather go blind too,
I love you so much,
I don’t want to see you leave me baby”
closing my eyes again the music
touches my poetic sensibility
and my inspiration hits me
The lines drift and the
sun, it shines down on me
and the lines free
from me, then the music
comes to an end
and I turn it on again
so I can start and begin again
the painful ache in me
to live the song twisted
in my veins for expressive
love in me
And it ain’t over, ever for me
the lines keep comin’
and my heart, it bleeds me
in every word and line
all in the beat, rhythm and rhyme
