light takes a slight break
high stakes step lightly as the
light breaks on streetscapes
high as kites we skate home
where we sip soft kisses
love spills and slips from lips
we sink into the sofa cushions
if you could only feel me now.

You only half get it?!? I love the onomatopoeia - unpronounceable but playable in music...
ReplyDeletePure slam poetry. High (hat) five to you!
ReplyDeleteYou set up the rhythm in the opening lines ~ I am loving the sounds and then the sinking into cushions ~ I say, go with the flow, smiles ~
ReplyDeleteha. nice scat that breaks into a wicked pace in the true stanza....the last line on feeling me now hints at a much larger story to me....
ReplyDeleteonomatopoeia
ReplyDeleteSee what you made me do? I had to yet again check the spelling of this devilish word :-)
Nice concoction. And me too: not quite get it.
Ella could scat it. Love this!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sound effects made me experience your words! You have created some 'cool jazz,' Sam!
ReplyDeleteHey you made it work - those sounds, that magic - it's love and all good. Absolutely your kind (and my kind) of JAZZ!
ReplyDeleteAh.. that play... would love to hear you sing it ... cool
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Love the opening.
