Kareoke Night

Here...
Amidst the back drop
Of music...and laughter..
Liquor...and lipstick...all
I can do is think of Him...
As I become breathless at
The whisper of his name in
My mind...
As I sip... Smirnoff Apple... turning
Pages ... finding the next song to sing
That reminds me of Him...
I close my eyes... Blocking  out all sounds
I imagine him near me... walking up
Behind me...As I sing Jill Scott The Way
All night...
My mind... staying
On Him...
Lover of my soul.
