Best The Blues Poems

.He walked in silence

to the corner of my heart

He lit a candle~ fire

in a room once damp and dark

His words were gently spoken

His love was loud and clear

His arms were unexpected

A fearless Chevalier

My strength was getting weaker

My pulse~rate running low

He sheltered my emotions

and fortified his...

....in retrospect
There were mirrors  there
Behind it, where all the Jews would hide
How can someone blame the black despair?
All You were, was a mirror over there
Flooding naked imagery
Flowing naked mercury
Proof there were no fa-ked lies
Unless words were pressed against the frame
Somehow you couldnt recognise...

"The Blues Released"



Black velvet 
sits between 
what is read 
yet unseen
crushing sullen passion
across ripe crimson lips
holding tight those
dancing fingers 
seduced
gliding across 
the Player’s 
pristine alabaster 
piano keys

burning 
the bluest blue

[Verse 1]
Hello, sweet brown-eyed girl
I'm just a guy with the midnight blues
Tryin’ to play it cool, but truth be told
I'm already lost in you

You gave the softest little smile
And I was halfway ‘cross the floor
Had a line in mind, a drink and some time
Maybe walk...

Listening to the Blues on this cerulean night,
my mood dark with visions of ecchymotic dreams 
leaving chalybeous bruises in my crazed mind.

I waited for the turquoise twinkle in your smiling azure eyes
to soothe the despondent indigo thoughts I'm feeling.
Like a vitreous vapor I could feel...

You have Africa on your mind
The distant land you left behind
With nothing to prove.

Humiliated, without a choice
There’s melancholy in your voice
What is your next move?

Vent your feelings through land and sea
To the rhythm that sets you free
Who could disapprove!

Raise your song – with a blend...

I was borne to the winter
Carried into this world with the wind
The snowflakes were my mother
And my father was the hail that ushered in
I've never been a man of this earth
But I've always been one with it
Born to the tune of the sunrise
Ashes to ashes...

May you see with new eyes
Bright stars in clear night skies.
May you feel the warm breeze
That puts your heart at ease.

Hear the sounds of birds sweet.
Wear shoes that dance your feet.
Paint the sky a bright blue.
Just know I think of you.

Put a smile on your...

When The Blues Are Fun

You consume the whole of me constantly,
Fair drafts ensure flight of our loyal tryst,
Though all known plans bear out uncertainty,
Our center grants said goals to be unmissed.

A misty vineyard drips of subtle dew,
And swells our...

Rex wondered if it really was true, 
and developed a case of the blues: 
  He heard he was out
  He was ready to pout--
When he brightened: "It must be fake news!"...

The world's changing so fast
forever dreams no longer tend to last.
Time swiftly slips away,
it seemed, but yesterday
life was all about play,
and yet, those moments all lie in the past.

My hair is mostly gone,
old age advances with each breaking dawn.
I can no longer run
and have no...

He looked beyond her destitute smile, 
And saw her shimmering hue, 
Hovering above her cavernous mind, 
In a glimmering radiant blue,

And her eyes gazed out not hiding the truth, 
The truth of losing her soul,
That left her magic floating around, 
In the cruel and vacuous...

You don’t remember what I told you.
The last time I laid eyes on you.
You don’t remember ........
I told you that I love you,
You only remember the blues.
 
Chorus:
You only remember the bad times.
You never remember the good.
You never remember the fun things we do.
You only...

In the dim-lit hall where the soulful chords weep, 
A siren graces the stage, secrets to keep, 
A silhouette in moonlight's tender glow,
A sexy blues singer, the crowd's hearts bestow

Her voice, a velvet caress of midnight breeze, 
Kindling embers of passion, as she pleases, 
A...
