Spending Time With Blues Poem by tej Singh

There is that rhythm
Like a slow breathing woman
Playing with my senses
She knows I’m in love
With the way she moves
The way she grooves
I’m just along for the ride
Hoping she might abide
To my dreams kept tucked away
Those notions that are for her today
~
“This old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind”
While I dance a little jig in my mind
Waiting until the next rift catches me
Takes me for that ride again
Drifting out the door of this room
To a different place, a lovely place
Where everyone is dancing, and dancing
Where everyone is together
Feeling, laughing, playing
And nothing really matters
‘cept the blues keep rolling by
~
If they let me I might decide to stay
While the music continues to play
I will only need to leave
If the rhythm may lose that hold
On the memory driven songs in my head
Pain and agony just seem so far away
Like a needle in my arm to cloud the day
I will just hold you next to me
And let the heat of our energy
Give me a reason to stay with you today
All that other daily trash just slide away
~
I remember glancing at you from a distance
Sweet your eyes that day gave me.
