The Rose

Writing Like a Rose: with Beauty, Thorns, Addiction, Dedication & inspiration

Snap

Horrid snaps are

In the swing of things then

Sway

A held metal breath

Blowfish facetiously grin

Swish

Mellow raunchiness of Balled blue

The rapists bopping along Main Stream

The slender hands of an iron clench

Beyond the musical Milky Way

The music had it coming then.

Pop

A high strung cello

An irritated guitar

Making heard heaven

The audio sound haven

The cork of a wine glass

The perfect beauty of a prison

Overflowing with champagne

Ah, Ahh, Ahhh

Dogman cool

The beat cries out

The toddler of a giant’s steam

A final solemn note knot

A skinny shiny soul mate

And as if in a funeral procession

Applause pays its respects

To a flowery staged casket

That only those who play it

May play basketball in ghastly trances

May feel on stageness

And singed nerves

And the

Pop

Snap

Swish

Ahh

Of lost bodies forsaken

Surrendering to a bluish realm that’s colorful

Surely to be “The Lost Boys” living in musical Neverland

Neverland to be seen again,

Unless the chorus may end.

Food for thought: What do you think a jazz concert would sound like? Then you get the poem. Listen, don’t see, thought the words are pretty cool too.
