My Tribute To Jazz Music

Dear Friends , As a lover of pure Jazz , I had written this sincere tribute two years back ! 
Hope you will like it ? Thanks for reading !


MY TRIBUTE TO JAZZ MUSIC

I can feel its rhythm and beat, 
And also its pulsating pain, 
Its music flows freely, -
Through my arteries and veins! 
Its beats always echoes, 
Through the corridors of my mind, 
As I get wafted, on the wings of time! 
Its music gets synchronized, 
With my heart’s muffled beats, 
As I try to keep time, - 
With the tapping of my feet! 
Each of its pulsating rhythm, 
And all its background chimes, 
With syncopated lilts , 
Jazz remains harmonized! 

The piano players dancing fingers, 
Caresses a rhythmic sway, 
While the Sax’s deep throated tenor, 
Drives my loneliness away! 
When I hear my old jazz music, 
And those golden classic tunes, 
I forget I am getting old, 
To time I become immune !!
I begin to feel like the old King Cole, 
As the music tingles my mind, 
And rejuvenates my Soul! 
                                  - Raj Nandy

soft smile..I'd like to see you write of jazz in FREE verse for to me JAZZ is all about the jive & the jam &the jelly roll! ditch the rhyme and spread the jazz through your mind and squeeze it out in poetry! Light & Love
