SOUL FOR REAL
I’ll sing to you my blues
To win you over with open
Passages of my lungs
I’ll sing to you my devotion
I know my touch is not enough
I know my scent evaporates quickly
That’s why I shudder musical tones
To permeate the sultry wind and capture
Your heart juggling with my ebony kisses
I’ll tighten your surfaces with musical light bulbs
And flatter your breath until al dente skies
Turn soft and weep mutually with my blues
I’ll sing to you with soul
To give the impression of complete happiness
To lessen the pain-drenched climate between us
We’ll float backwards with belated air
We’ll pretend our night’s rest was only
Disturbed by my blues

EARTH & SAND'S FEVERShhhhhhhhhhh…no words to be expressed
Feel the throbbing hurricane waiting to be blessed
The insistent beauty of earth and sand is feverish
Pull her out of the rubble
She is waiting
Her elasticity has promises securely snug
With the pound of excitement
The pace of her heart echoes without static

Your poems are astonishing, with such power and passion. Really impressive!
autiful… heartfelt words cathy… thank you for sharing some of them…
I LOVE the first poem. Of course, the Billy pic would have won me over some anyway, but I can really feel the poem, and the words are vibrant with such electric eloquence. Magical.
I sing too. I'm with a band, now, though we haven't written & refined enough songs to play out yet. They keep wanting me to sing with less attitude and less blues. It's hard for a gal steeped in Billy Holiday, Nina Simone, Etta James, and the like to try and sing the way they want me too, but it is still my voice, my soul in the soundwaves, and I love it.
It's a powerful high, singing.
Thanks for reading and for appreciating my work, come back again
Your poems are absolutely gorgeous! And paired so perfectly with these images. I whole heartedly adore the depth and soul behind your words. Thanks so, so, so much for sharing them!

I like the repetition of "Soul For Real," and such a beautiful ending, too.
Looking forward to reading more of your work.
Such a mind, that can put mere words together to produce such great emotions in the reader. Thank you.
I am flattered, by your visit, and your comment..

Have you compiled all of your poems to be published? Let me know when/if you do. I want a copy.
BTW, I have exteneded last week's challenge for another week due to popular request.
Singing keeps me alive when I want to die under the weight of this worls sometimes. Writing does, too. Cathy, the soul must never stop singing, and you must never stop writing!
Thank you Mermaid, I will keep on writing, that's my way of singing with words
