Jazz Inspired Poetry

Since I Fell For You

easy
love
carefree glide
soothing blend

blue
serenity
looming blankets
fear to end

laughter
desire
frolicking method
distance winds

sand
slipping
where am I
identity thinned

sun
cool
extravagant flow
salty waves

tidy
rhythm
assured steps
destinations pave

bounce
catch
playful jaunt
unsung dance

scale
heights
no care
gaming prance

beauty
face
dreaming eyes
real fingers part

kisses
you
mesmerizing image
disbelieving heart

Blues for Pamela

tinkling
blissful
deep south
permanent thrums

chords
tuned
vast fields
momentous drums

thud
drop
spilling brains
freestyle ears

blues
colours
black rainbow
orange years

surf
salty
brisk responses
crying smiles

electrification
stunned
quieting spirit
return to my isle

keyboard
sputtering
nervous equation
no answer ago

emergence
swing
return to life
departing shadows

excitement
rollicking
renewed faith
body outstretched

loose-limbed
together
giant tapestry
passion fetched

Thank you to Count Basie and Oscar Peterson

Jazz Inspired Poetry

Invitation

flurries
purity
impulsive blurts
melodic tails

quivering
answers
repetitions cries
squeaking trails

descending
wondering
thought pauses
fluttering falsetto

strings
threads
dancing apart
tongued libretto

openings
freedom
glued lips
frantic escape

confidence
modesty
many questions
the flying cape

keyboard
tremors
Bird recollections
romantic tears

joy
response
echoing bridges
invisible fears

eerie
hesitance
spinning directions
off the rails

breaking
joining
passionate steps
melodic tales
