Feeling the music
Sunday, January 4, 2009
feeling the music
She stood
eyes closed
and pure ecstasy
written upon her face.
Both arms outstretched;
one hand placed flat against
my guitar
the other gripping
your double bass.
Nothing stood between
us - no sound
only delight as
for the first time
she could feel the music.
This was inspired by my best friend telling me a beautiful story about meeting a deaf lady in the pub on New Year's Eve. During their time together lots of laughs were shared - mainly at the expense of a friend'a drunken karaoke attempt. The lady and her partner were invited back to the party where an impromptu jam took place. To feel involved she did exactly as described above and could feel the vibrations of the music! Such a lovely image! Thanks Luke x
what i wanted

i wanted to say
that i love you
but i don't really know what it means
and that maybe i am incredibly clever
for getting this far and knowing that i don't know
or maybe my brain will never work like yours...

Persimmons - Sonnet-4
folds over my face
in summer time.
Sticky
ledges of sand under
the trees.
Autumn turns them
brown and over ripe
but deeply rich;
they attract flies.
