Neon Blues

She stands

    and the night spills

      through her fingers



as electric connections and

    neon musings

    etch her face



in scarlet razored

lines and lace.

Deliberate action takes me



     to her private circle and

I bask in the sun

     that is her smile, her eyes.



     Foraging for her

affections

I’m disappointed,



      denied once again

       the epiphany

of her loving aspirations.



     But I know the

       right of it.

   I know the blues.



And Lucille’s singing

    ‘em

like I knew

    she would.

A lovely piece with some superb lines - "the night spills through her fingers" and "neon musings etch her face". Never mind, at least old BB's always there to pull you through.

I really really love this one...neon musings, and more than the words..the feel of it....gets under your skin.

I'm so glad I found your pieces.
This reminds me of something floating a night sidewalk with smog and smoke and female singing.
Lost love and lamentation.

Beautiful.
