BEFORE I PLAY A SINGLE NOTE FOR YOU
LET ME TELL YOU WHY I PLAY THE BLUES
UNDER A NEON MOON, I DRINK AWAY THE PAIN
EVERY TIME I THINK OF HER, I ALMOST GO INSANE
NEVER AGAIN WILL I TASTE THE MUSIC FROM HER LIPS
OR FEEL THE PULSING RHYTHM OF HER SWAYING HIPS
TORN AND OUT OF TUNE, MY HEART IS BREAKING
EVERYTHING I SING IS BLUE, BECAUSE MY SOUL IS ACHING
SAD SONGS SEEM TO BE, WRITTEN ALL ABOUT ME
~
All these books about everything
I could dream or do
Nothing in them can compare to
Anywhere with you
Yearning to hold you I fly
through pages of memories
Wings carrying me back to what now
seem like fantasies
Holding you holding me there is no place
I would rather be
Everywhere and anywhere I look
I see you and me
Reading the love story you and I
once wrote together
Every time and anywhere I go I see
us always and forever
~
Too many nights I stay awake think’in
Hovering over my thought’s , am I dream’in
In my subconcious , it’s only you I’m see’in
Now your here , I have no use for drink’in
Killing the nightmares , I’ve been hav’in
I have a dark side ,but it’s your light I’m feel’in
Nothing but love , is what I’m think’in
~
Remember to send us a Heart!
All our regards…
Barbara and Cherie!
Let me tell you why I play the blues.
To many night I cant stop thinking of you
every time and everywhere I go I see us forever.
I will never let you go in my minds eye.
Under a neon moon I drink my pain away.
Hoping you will come back some day.
Until then it feels like I’m going insane.
Every song reminds me of you.
Never again will I taste the sweet music from your lips.
Or see the swaying of your declivous hips
My wings carry me back to the fantasy .
We where in love so true
Now all I do is sing the blues.
Hope you like this… This is about a personal experience of mine.. in my life… way back about let’s see
hummm 10 years ago.. hug’s love and Happy New years to the One I wrote this for !! Bless you One your Sober-Ness I hope and Pray!! I know It is real real hard!!! xoxooxoxoxooxoxoxooxoxoxooxxo

Greetings and Happy Wednesday and Welcome to Pick-Apart Poetry today. So glad to find it posted. Thanks to Darrell for sharing his poetry with us.
ME AND MY BLUES
Blue I do play
Lets me feel the pain inside
Under the bright starry skis
Every where I go I see you and me
Neon moon on the cool night breeze
Out of turn I sing the blues
Torn and bittle I do feel
Easy goin as I sit
Soul all in array
As I play
No one
Yearns as bad as I
When it comes down to singin the blues it would seem
Heart on fire for love
Every beat is pain
Ready to bleed
Even shade tears the whole night lone
Thingin always
Hurt
Is my heart
Nightmares are my lonely nights
Grievin for you the love I never could have
I could dream forever and not fine
None compared to my dreams

NOTES FROM MY HEART
The notes I play,
rhythms from my heart,
the light and the dark
carry me away
to that place
of love shared,
dreams and memories
always and forever
held close.

William Toliver’s “Transcendent of the Blues”
BLUES AND BROKEN
The notes I play,
blues and broken
and so very torn apart,
songs of sadness,
songs of light and dark,
songs of love,
songs of yearning,
this music of my soul,
shared in notes
and memories,
dreaming forever
and dreaming
forever blues.
