Live Onstage--Amphetamine

A relay of moods dribbles on and on
when euphoric tunes kick in:
Jazz, R& B, slow funk, wild pop
igniting primal ecstasy, in the flesh...raw!

Live music leaves me breathless
as thuds of a drum, the intricate fondling
from saxophones blast these veins...
until intoxicated head convulses,

Pulse beat raised at 110, my torso
gyring in motions unknown—
the cortisol of anticipation surging
adrenaline doses gushing...just then,

Philip Bailey whams a falsetto, 
higher than high in a climatic lift;
my whole body possessed without Reasons
on Fantasy’s electric stage—

Another grasp of dismembering reality lures
where smoky thirst begs for more notes;
an elevated zing which drugs my soul …
yet, nights ask for more live concerts.

I can hit that note in 'Reasons' when no one is around and the stereo is louder than I am...i sound like his twin. I sung this comment in falsetto : ). Nice work Nette!

I think I'll pop in a CD. For some reason, I suddenly want some music.
