Songs of Louis Capart
Songs of Louis
Capart
-by Bob Atkinson
simple phrases
satisfy
although messages
pass me by
deep within the
voice of sentiment
moves a heart toward
contentment
driving again down a
road
ample farms of crops
unknown
to Dijon up from
Paris
could have been just
any place
City of Light still
inspires
six story limit
gives up an aura
expanding
possibilities for
space
room for sidewalk
dining tables
Treff am Rex written
on pages
a story told of
feckless craving
someday bright
screen will show
how heart's desire
grows and grows
Capart's voice
transcends my mind
could be from any
decade past
language used to
paint the sun
drives in toward all
meanings of
past good times or
future fun
satisfaction sipping
a coffee cup
successful endeavor
or busted run
no matter, has all
been fun
no matter now, all
will wait
for this album to
run its pace
settled feelings of
quiet grace
all bodes well, no
wild cast rage
thank you Capart for
morning mood
of my time within
mind's groove
language meaning
escapes my thought
yet this feeling
ever locks
me into awareness of
satisfaction
allowed this morning
from reaction
to words describing
your desire
to entertain with
heart filled fire
