Pensive Blues

Pensive Blues 

Unwrapping a mellow chord
Repeated words one affords
Flowers awaiting new bloom
Find Blue’s infusing the gloom

Waiting upon stars falling
Across the sky of wishing
An arched conduit of light
Opaque in harmony’s flight

Catching each note expecting
Lovers’ moon unquestioning
Rhythm extinguishing flame
Silencing slashes of pain

Ember’s etching on the sky
Kindled visions that now fly
A wasteland alight once more
Blazing with lyrical score

Melody of words spoken
Re-acquaint new love’s token
Awash in the bluest “Blues”
Dreaming of wishes come true

By:   Debra Squyres 2/26/13
Based on the Blues lyrics of Nora Jones:
 “Waiting”, “Turn Me On”
“Come Away With Me” and “The Nearness of You”.

So much going on in this one. I love how descriptive you are. Kindled visions that now fly. Just one of many that pass by so quickly. Enjoyed reading. :)
