The Blues Port
The Blues
The melody to match a sinking heart rate when the touch of love fools
Rain drops falling on a glorious morning, stinging pelts to the skin when emotions have been overruled
Sun no longer shines
The savoring taste of love no longer compares to sweet wine
The groove has gone
Drowning sorrows of yesterday in the lyrics of a Blues song
Heart, body, and mind all alone
The Blues welcomes the sway of my hips all night long
Sweet Melodies of the Heart
Cannot be eclipsed by the Blues as the clouds and rain depart
Echoes to the winds floating on the sounds of life’s Harp
Cast my reel out...cast in…hey blue eyes, are you a male Carp
Hey handsome, I’m from Philly…mmmm…wait, are you Big Willy
Just in a great mood today
What more can I say
Stepping Back Feels So Free
Please believe me
Allow me to write about nothing, as my soul I keep
Need a break, from writing so deep
Mind...let’s go and romp on the beach
Many lessons in life one must always teach
Not today, if I have my way
Ain’t No Sunshine When He’s Gone
That has to be the most overrated song
If Annie said tomorrow tomorrow, you’re only a day away
The next day, my eyes enlarge in dismay
I see the sun, blue skies, stars …my wondrous galaxy where I dance in merriment as I play
The Blues says, hold up, down a bottle of whiskey and bed your sorrows the heart’s glorious claim to fame
Pain is not my game
Too much to do with my brain
No loud echoes to hear under my name
Well maybe the neighbors’ ears, hear of my bedroom skillful claims
Yes, as passion rips, while emotions dips and slips
While bodies singing, scream my name, sorry, but no shame
Sweet Melodies of the Heart says, I play for you as your voice is in union with mine
Orchestra of the heart and the sound mind
Ain’t No Sunshine When He’s Gone, says, I will be here when the pain becomes too bold to bare, and you do not have the comforts to give unto another heart to spare
Stepping Back Feels So Free, says, just wait …I’m still waiting for my fish to hook and bait
The melody to match a sinking heart rate when the touch of love fools
Rain drops falling on a glorious morning, stinging pelts to the skin when emotions have been overruled
Sun no longer shines
The savoring taste of love no longer compares to sweet wine
The groove has gone
Drowning sorrows of yesterday in the lyrics of a Blues song
Heart, body, and mind all alone
The Blues welcomes the sway of my hips all night long
Sweet Melodies of the Heart
Cannot be eclipsed by the Blues as the clouds and rain depart

Very nice spill enjoyed reading👏👏
I love the blues so much BB king is the shit one of my favs
Fabulously written piece
Reminds me of a quote I recently came across,
"The blues is like a planet. It's an enormous topic. You can't ignore the impact that it has had and continues to have on the whole musical culture. It's a tree that everyone is swinging from. Without it, I don't know where I would be. It's indelible and indispensable."
Great write!

Aww...thank you for the beautiful comment. I happen to love B.B.King's music as well, he left such a timeless legacy many men who sing the blues will never come to fill. Enjoy your evening as well
