Bars and Guitars

Tap and tabs overflowing escaping from everyday life you come home undergoing a feeling of safety from the night life you feel lost in the hustle wishing you never left her at home for one moment of bustle with freedom you need not to comb so one day you wake up and realize what's it all for quietly you stumble to stand up as you walk into the door she prays this will expire in her memoirs for she stays true to her vows her competition is bars and guitars his is growing up from the drowse

So pleased to have found this gem of yours, Angela. Bars and Guitar is a so apt title for the poem that follows it..

I enjoyed this poem very much indeed and the lines 'for she stays true to her vows, her competition is bars and guitars, his is growing up from the drowse' so creatively explained - they have to work things out! Hugs and blessisngs, Jennifer.

Hello Angela … bars and guitars can offer false security and comfort, but then the barman shouts time, so the reality resurfaces in the morning - nicely written Angela - Lindsay

For some reason this poem reminds me of "With a Little Help from My Friends" by the Beatles, though I prefer the Joe Cocker version. ~ Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul. I like both versions, but the Beatles version a little more ;)

You evoke emotions hard to achieve. Thus you face stiff competition. Will love solve the problem? Excellent poem. ~~
