Click hereThe man in the moon
plays tenor.
Light beams.
Cool blues flowers
fall into ballads.
One gardenia lands
behind a Lady's ear,
whispers languid rhythms,
drags drifts of Stardust
behind the beat.
Fine and mellow,
that yellow light,
closes eyes.
Jazz blooms at night,
thick and luscious,
sulty scented lily tone.
Moon escapes its empty home,
slides down vines, beats,
snakes in golden boughs.
Moon moans.
Wish on jazz.
She loves me,
she loves me not.
She dances,
she dances bop,
uncurls, spoons
into later bliss.
O kiss the night,
jazz moon.
Soft tenor.
Petal kiss.

The_Foolalmost 19 years agoMet and traded discant and harmony by moonlight. Blues is better late at night when your mind is sleeping and your soul is wide awake.
BooMerenguealmost 19 years agoThis is beautiful. It reminded me a bit of October Gave A Party, my fav since I was 8. But you know me- a lover of form. For my taste this was a bit awkward flow wise. But thats just me babe! Odd man out!
Love you,
Boo
~hellbaby~almost 19 years agoI feel like I'm in a 'Naw'lins'cafe. The gardenia and the moon are perfect together.

WickedEveover 19 years agoOne gardenia lands
behind a Lady's ear,
I love this image of blues landing behind an ear like a gardenia.
jd4georgeover 19 years agoThe reason is simple: I want to steal stuff, but I can't. I stumbled in just one place:
"Cool blues flowers
fall into ballads."
I read it as:
"Cool blues. Flowers
fall into ballads."
After rereading several times, "Cool blues flowers" works as written. Thanks for the read!
flyguy69over 19 years agoWonderful feel for the flower-scented, jazz-filled midnight air, Angeline. Should "sulty" be "sultry"?
sandspikeover 19 years agoain't that the truth. I love to see colors and hear
the music (70's thing). This is good work.
Tathagataover 19 years agoI thought of " Moondance"
and Billie Holliday..
This is just beautiful Ange
Thank you
