Jazzy tempo
Holiday feel
Thanksgiving and Christmas combined tweet
Melody sweet
Refreshing treat
Saxophone Man at his best
Only he can contest
Talent throughout conquest
Play on for as long
Let the saxophone intertwine
Togetherness ever so kind
Soothing and smooth
Mood of harmony
Saxophone Man story
his arms of tunes reel with most tender tones
reaching into depths of my senses
caressing night’s rhythmic flow
and my thoughts waltz intimately…I’m drawn.
as passionate timbre
drones from his heated wisps
I sway with night's soulful music
hypnotized by his velvet drools.
Romantic saxophone,
how do you know when I'm alone
and feeling sad and blue?
Yes, that's when I know that you,
being ever dutiful,
will play a tune that's beautiful,
and surely make me cry
until my tears are dry.
A lover's sigh in melancholy mood,
and breaths that never die in memories,
now float within a soulful interlude
and birthed from deep within ~ a melody.
Inanimate, yet still a lover's heart
that breathes and cries much like the morning mist.
I wait, impatient, 'til my song imparts
emotion that's been born from passion's lips.
written Nov. 3, 2025 for Nette Onclaud's Personally Speaking contest
I am emotional and romantic
flows as poetry to your heart
My saxophone love songs
is indescribably lovely
Feel the calm wash over your soul
as soft summer pastels
Listen … I don't wish to disappoint you
Be blessed with these positive vibes
Jazzy brassy voice
I scream in blue tones
I dance to fill the void
Buttons like backbones
I’m the woman you love
Can’t get me off your mind
I sing with your every touch
Improv I drink like wine
He played saxophone,
but preferred piano,
while both spoke jazzy notes,
it was piano that spoke to his soul
with whispers soft and spiritual,
or in a voice loud and bossy~
the notes once so entwined him
he floated above himself and flew.
Searching for that superfine llove
see thats the way it's gotta be
me for you
you for me
what creates night
nights full of roamnce
lovers all around us
a place for us to dance
what suited best
and dressed for impression
ah night for lovers
anwsered and questioned
Cupid put the bow to the chello
stummed ah tune for you and me
sweet kisses
me yourr fellow
I'm in love
say your in love with me
sappy sweet full of jestures
Lovers loving
in each and every measure
That Super fine love
Is what I really need
say it love really love
and thats the way it has to be
Written By Dank and Dodoole
From Swiigg Nasty and the Real Wons
Going solo is no fun
when you are the only one
playing alone on your own
so show me your saxophone
and you may hold my trombone
then if I feel the need
I'll finger your keys
to vibrate the reed
'til my slide retracts
as we're a match made in heaven
quite the catch in fact
a musical marriage
and that's not all
we'll make beautiful music
yes we'll have us a ball
and altho' yours is woodwind
I have the itch to make a pass
so here's my pitch
you can kiss my brass
The lights are low, the air is thick with sin,
a lazy sax moans soft against the dark.
She sips her drink, red lipstick on the rim,
her gaze a flame that flickers with a spark.
The piano sighs, each note a lover’s touch,
fingertips tracing secrets on the keys.
She hums along, just barely, not too much,
a whispered song that brings men to their knees.
Her laughter drapes like silk upon the night,
a promise spun in amber, warm and slow.
She leans in close, her eyes a hungry light--
a queen who knows they’ll beg before they go.
The music fades, the spell is cast, complete.
She leaves alone--but hearts still burn like heat.
sound of blues ripples on--
smokey tunes blowing hot
sizzling flamed mood...it's jazz!
sax notes intoxicate
swirling like coltraine's grind,
soulful trance whips my breath...
spice of night, weekend jives!
the stars linger amidst candlelight
saxophone serenades melting inhibitions
charming entrancing hypnotizing
beyond human breaking point
exploiting weakness in a haze of madness
bewitched possessed
until there is no return

Candy For My Ears
Saxophone
If I could play the violin
I'd write a melody
euphonious to draw you in
and play my rhapsody
to bring a smile to your dear face
and calm the storm within
if I could play the violin
If I could play the saxophone
with timbre silvery
I'd paint a poem of pure tone
to laud your alchemy
for you turn iron into gold
and granite to gemstone
if I could play the saxophone
If I could coax an oboe's tone
a dulcet sound divine
to craft a raft for you to own -
a musical lifeline
when waves have knocked you off your course
when winter winds have blown
I'd play a soothing oboe tone
If I could sing a heaven-sent
anthem or hymn profound
I wouldn't need an instrument
when you feel nearly drowned
I'd whisper arias of hope
my mouthpiece, bow, and strings
are prayers for God to heal your wings
and soar beside as heaven sings.
saxophones
bluest notes intrigue
one cool cat
