Your flick of eyeliner,
Tattoo's and beehive
A bit of rock and roll,
something of Jazz or Jive.
Your authentic words
ingrained in our memory
Listening to the beats,
tapping along to the melody.
The sultry, smokiness
the range of your voice,
We're right there with you
the moment you soar.
As you up the rhythm
taking us on a
Nostalgic, Jazz filled ride.
When we saw how they hounded you
We felt that knock to your pride.
Your determination,
uniqueness and drive
Inspired us women,
Man you did shine.
Watched you grasp onto the feeling's
to help release a little pressure.
Inhale the love before it became a bit lesser.
Back to Black when he went back to her.
You sang us through the hurt,
Coming down from the high.
We sang along with you,
We heard your heart sigh.
Walking around a little shattered and broken
A hole in your heart, alone and unspoken
Clutching to something to fill the void
Is it a hunger, a lack of nurturing and care.
When we need it the most hope somebody is there.
10/07/2021 contest- What makes you sigh. sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke
Shadows, flew
across my heart
Dark too
Such dark beauty
Such mystery
Shadows too,
in the heart
Amidst the shadows
A light grew
A spark...
A rose...
That was me
Spilling out
Petals falling
Colour calling,
I heard it shout
To travel
so far...
Mysteries of the heart
Such dark beauty,
becoming light
The smokiness within
The battle of light
The battle of dark
A curious whim
A curious spark
Light and shadows,
flew across my heart
Such beautiful things
Cannot rest in the
mysteries of the heart
