Late Night Guitar

Nostalgic
|
Calloused fingers yearn to play;
Again the memories, cast in grey.
Sing to the couch;
Strum for the chair;
Chord for the lover
that isn’t there.
Softly the strings render and part;
Calling on yesterdays deep in her heart.
Speak of the tender wishful decline;
Bittersweet woman; girl of mine .
Lyrics pressed in music books,
Whispering words she knew:
In yellow faded margins;
Songs for one – or two.
Hear the songs she chooses;
How a new love tries;
In the words she looks away
From all the sad good-byes.
The melodies are healing;
They call her soul away;
Music is her lover;
The one who always stays.
Wine to warm an icy soul;
and memories of rock and roll.
Search the night for feelings gone;
Dear guitar, my only one.

as an old guitar player myself, I do love this one.
Great title, late at night, god who knows what to play, maybe just a chord, all those notes in each one, what do they... say.
This is very creative. Sometimes a great melody can be so very soothing and simple.
Nice work!
Thanks!
Peace! |

Never could play the guitar myself, but soooo love to hear it. This is an awesome poem!
P/S My husband plays (with) the guitar and thinks he can sing too.... but I loved it when he used to serenade me...
Good read overall. |

| Love it! So well done. One doesn't have to play (though I do) to appreciate this for its sentimentality and evocations...thanks for sharing. |
