" For Miles "

the melody of haunting notes
               will taunt you-re inner ear

              this sadness___ you can-not weep
                   no matter how hard
                      tears flow

                     haunting notes
                     inside and out
                       but still
                   within the inner ear

                   this sad haunting
                 that will not dis-appear

 for miles davis______

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
