Saxophone Love and My Piano Love
Friday night was Jazz Night
at the Blue Bongo Club
down on 57th Street
He started blowin' bout'
three Fridays ago, and
his presence alone would
give one pause
Me and the girls went
eve'ry Friday night, but
that Friday was different
Between deep Tenor breaths,
he looked at me,
like I belonged to him
After the gig was over,
he asked me to stay
He seemed to know that
I wanted to feel the
stiffness of his brass___horn
Alone, we talked, we danced
then he pulled out his______brass
it felt so good in my hands
Cool, erect, and smooth
to my touch, he titillated me
oh so gently
I tasted and in and out
and out and in
my mouth moistened for more
He threw his head back
to partake of my...
performance and smiled
When done
we both agreed
I needed to take...
Saxophone Lessons
Saxophone Love II
Naughty thoughts glisten
in the wild vibration of his horn
he shines like a star
from Heaven's jewelry box
and placed in my onyx sky
I bask in his Jazz - Illiance
His music takes me back...
yeah....back to
back yard barbecue's,
double-dutchin',
cornrows between Mama's legs,
and the first fire ignited
in the furnace between mine
Nothin prepared me for...his
smooth sounds
the way he wets...
his lips
and plays...me
Our silhouette blushes
at smooth sounds
I make till dawn
on his Saxophone
Saxophone Love III
Eyes closed; hips bumpin'
Davis and Coltrane saxin'
Bass beats to my feet
Jukebox spillin' hot
Honey-soakin' my insides
With brass love notes
My Sax Man took stage
My universe stopped to touch
Each of his exhales
Jazzical foreplay
Prodding my musical spots
I don't care who sees
My sax induced hands improvising
Saxophone Love IX
Sweet wind
exhales from brass
notes dance la reverie
flesh pulsating, as I murmur
his name
My Piano Love I
When I rest my eager hands against the keyboard
my fingers transform with each ivory key
I succumb to the song of your sea
embrace every wave
move deeply
with your extraordinary energy
your power
With each black key
I enchant you
resonate with you
make magic with you
my melodious silhouette
echoes with you
Pedals satisfy
a lingering desire
to touch you
play you
no one knew
about me
and my Piano
Soon I hope to have a Booklet and Website celebrating the marriage of instruments and poetry.
