MET•RO•NOME {You Need Me}
“Who are you?” one may ask
I am the one......
Indicating the exact tempo
of his music,
a clicking, ticking sound
as I mark time
You need me
Envision me
tall, long and strong
as I swing from side to side
I move
I'm free,
I am on point
Keeping it tight,
never late
You need me
Frequently described?
I'm metronomic
yes that's correct
Very few can compare......Why?
In the zillion moments of music
writing,
producing,
singing,
playing,
you reach for me
you seek me
you listen for me......simply
You need me
Sixty beats, clicks
ticks per minute,
I measure
Who's tempo? Mine or yours?
It does not matter
I will abide your melody
producing a regular, repeated sound
my clock to your ears, oh yes
You need me
I am the “shape of sounds to come”
so......
feast your eyes on this fine,bold
full-figured beauty
I got you, please don't worry.
I can and shall
keep time's perfection
in each and every
rhythm and motion
as your hips move
You need me
….shifting your atmosphere
guaranteed motion
Strong, natural accents
you give to me, a brisk staccato
when you feel how doggone good I am to you.
There is no rate of speed that can be wrong,
“lose control baby”
if it's good, it's just damned good......
just “gimme some.....”
Get it !
Hit it !
Taste it......It's yours!
When you're through
pounding me,
driving me,
rhythmically
riding me,
I still remain, constantly.....
…..swinging
I'm on point,
I regulate
You need me.

....after reading your comment, it makes sense to me now because it read so unfamiliar to me in regards to your style, your flow, and overall characteristics of your writings - tho I did seem to feel and see hints of 'you' in this ink,.....it's a great piece all the same...
