Image result for stay U2

My nomadic guy, please don’t tear my flesh
This lonely chamber isn’t made for one
Come play the lead strings as our grooves refresh,
Oh no funky stardust when you are gone…
Sad moon for me and blazing sun for you;
Life’s a-tumble when the door creaks, “Adieu.”

I got no rhythm in these eyes bloodshot
Just recall most nights’ pure angelic love,
And once you’re back run to me, on the dot
While this babe waits, frantic as evening dove…
Sorely  missing your pitter- patter feet,
While  hours grow crazy , dear  boo, I’m offbeat!

My timeline busts, when you’re so  hard to get
Still, I wait down the road numb with longing;
For some reason this wired-up head  won’t regret
How  I trace the lampposts until grasses sting …
Oh  nomadic guy…miles and miles away
I await your rocking arms to dance , to stay!

Rock 'n Roll Rhyme FestContest for Phillip Garcia
.........................
Rhyme Scheme: Quatrains with End Couplets
Inspired by the song of U2: Stay ( Far Away, So Close)
Album: Zooropa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7da48kn4sE

--------------
*Personally , the essence of this song depicts
a need to create a long-term relationship especially
when one is elusive, fleeting like an angel or a nomad 
with lines ‘ just a bang and a clatter”,  ‘stay,
and the night would be enough.’  Then again, 
Bono of U2 is  one great riddle!

his is a fantastic poem, nette. I love all rock n roll. For U2 I think Joshua Tree was my favorite album. However I do like the song "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" You have excellent taste in music!
