how so like music is a woman
before I know her, I hear her melody from the hills,
and I will go. her sexual lyrics are scribed in haste
upon her flesh, that none eye can decipher but mine;
her cursives are curves. raindrops cling to her like clef notes.
regard this (I tell her) my passion
dark blue, faded
as if it were denim
slept in random beds
shallow the kiss; as deep the night
and that was enough
in love I am bleak, and make not her own her own notion
of ecstasy, but cram my wholeness into the small tragic
cloister of her, where men came and departed. she
harbors it there, as tinder for a broken heart.
a lonely man is no more sad
than a poem has been written,
and a woman, like music…

I don think I have ever read anything so perfect...

So very beautiful, John, loved the moodiness of the music and artwork.

Exquisite verses in blue...

John, others have quoted favorite parts of your write that are also mine. But this, this is my favorite (so much so, I've got it posted on my profile page):

So much beauty in this piece!
I agree with Jade... that last stanza is stunning!
I like to add that the music suits the poem so well... I was blown away by it and I'm glad to have discovered a new band, thank you for that! Thank you for giving me a brilliant read as well!
