    Black Like The Night

    .
    .

    She wore black like the night
    Downtown in that little dive of darkness
    I watched her from my bar stool;
    Nursing my beer and my recently shattered, manly pride.

    .

    Somehow, I couldn’t see her in a place like this
    She looked mythical, like a creature rising from a song
    Long, black hair and eyes like midnight;
    I wanted to fall into them but I held back.

    .

    I wondered if she was a spell caster
    Or evil masquerading as sweetness
    We stared across the dim lit noisy room;
    Until my soul could no longer resist.

    .

    I wanted to buy her champagne
    But they didn’t have any
    I wanted to take her for a walk on the moon;
    But I knew she’d already been there.

    .

    When I came to myself, night was fading
    I was in the middle of a dream at the edge of the world
    I opened my eyes and saw her standing on the water;
    Beckoning me with music in her fingers.

    .

    Her smile was like honey, but it was not warm
    Still, I starved for her and reached out as I stood
    I heard a murmur as I stumbled in the dark trees;
    But no matter how hard I reached, I could not touch her.

    .

    She was an angel, she was a demon
    She was a siren and a premeditated crime
    Taunting me with whispers till I ran screaming;
    I fell into the black water and plunged to my despair.

    .

    But that was then and this is now
    Now I sit on a different bar stool in a different dive
    It’s midnight and I have no pride left in me at all;
    And there she is, wearing black, and shining like a promise.

    .

    She beckons me and I follow, as she knows I will
    As I do when the madness calls and I am lost
    She carries the keys to my desperation;
    And she always finds me.

    .

    out of the city
    and thru the woods
    waits a boat and oar
    to take me to
    a place unseen
    on TV screens
    a world of beauty
    a living dream
    something so simple
    you can’t explain
    you need to see
    to feel the same

    proud Mary’s
    down on the corner
    a bad moon’s rising
    I heard it through the grapevine
    it’s the midnight special
    have YOU ever seen the rain?
    I was born on the bayou
    signed,

  • Scotorum says:

    Hey gang! One of my first friends on MySpace back in 2006 was a former Louisiana gal named Rae. She wrote very clever abstract freestyle poetry, which fascinated me both for her love of wordplay and occasional use of Southern dialect, especially African-American and Cajun. I wrote this for her back in 2007 after she suddenly disappeared, as some social site folk are sometimes known to do. The graphic I added just now, since the original poem was not PnPed.

    Hey folks,Elfwing here. T/y all for coming. Hello,Jon,Bump,Cheryl,and Bob. ‘k. Let’s see what I can come up with here.

    Swamp Rat Memories…

    My mind goes back to days gone by,to friendships long and tried,
    to silly times and swamp rat sweat,to races-oh sublime.
    Now I’m grown and all “grown up”(at least or so it “seems”)
    but I’ll ne’er forget those happy days of “sweat” and swamp rat dreams.

    Happy Racing,:) Elfwing.

  • Jean_S says:

    WITHIN THESE BAYOU BLUES

    Dancing in the dark
    to that familiar dusky song,
    caressing the strings
    of broken hearts,
    somber melodies
    drifting painfully
    through the tortured darkness
    of this Saturday night,
    lyrics laced with sadness
    and broken dreams,
    invading every corner
    of that smoke-filled
    room of hazy blue;
    as within the darkness
    of this Bayou Saturday night,
    soulful voices find release,
    words flowing with tears and pain,
    emotions long forgotten
    and surfacing once again.

    And in the hazy darkness
    they find the peace
    they were looking for
    in these notes of blue
    winding through
    the corners and alleys
    of these weary hearts,
    finding solace in the blues
    of this Bayou Saturday Night.

    Not sure weather this fits lol but ive given it ago, hmmm its always best to leave it to thr pro’s 🙂

    I’m in love with this place
    I’m yet to see,
    As my mind drifts into daydream,
    This is the place I long to be,
    With gators or frogs
    Birds and tree’s
    A place untouched by human greed
    Everything fresh living and free.

    On The Corner Of Royal And Orleans

  • IAMRCx says:

    The Boggy Creek Monster
    lives along our rivers and streams
    Sometimes late ate night
    you can still hear it’s screams.

    The Boggy Creek Monster
    comes out at the setting of the sun
    even the alligators
    turn tail and run.

    The Boggy Creek Monster
    turns a place of beauty and delight
    into a frightful area
    to be in at night.

    The Boggy Creek Monster
    is “just an old wives tale”,
    til at night when it walks
    and cuts loose a yell.

    The Boggy Creek Monster
    a lesson in reality hard learned
    by the many who came here to hunt him
    and somehow never returned.

    The Boggy Creek Monster
    lives along our rivers and streams
    Sometimes late ate night
    you can still hear it’s screams.

    I drifted off down the bayou looking for the light of day.
    I saw the lily pads come my way.
    I starting dream of a magical day when my prince will come a bay some day .
    I started a spell called true love.
    I wanted to be a dove flying in love above.
    I saw my heart start to sizzle.
    I began to frazzle .
    a gleam came over me.
    I could not believe my luck.
    My prince came rolling by.
    He looked me dead in my eyes.
    I saw a falling star in the sky.
    I made a wish.
    He came back quick.
    The fog rolled in thick.
    The wind blew my hat straight to him.
    He said hello how are you today.
    I responded with a look of just ok.
    Then I realized the pain stayed.
    My heart locked up and cried I’m going insane.
    My last lover remains.
    For this I’m sorry I am to blame.
    I called out for it to rain.
    Then a gentle smile came over my face and replied how are you today.
