Nightclub Gig. Nightc10

She is sipping whiskey on the rocks
I spotted her from across the room
up on that stage her body swayed
while singing songs of loss and gloom.

Her cherry painted circus lips
tantalized the microphone
and I slowly thought to myself
I would love to carry her home.

I had seen her through the clouds
of smoke puffing from drunken men.
Gray ghosts floating around this club,
disrupting vision once again.

Then I remembered her raven locks
probably smelled of ashes as well,
and personally I have never been able
to stand that god awful smell.

So while her sequined dress caught the light
I thought it be best to leave her
in her element on that stage,
for mortal men to dream of her...

Now, the notes stream out to form a song
as dulcet tones weave the melody;
so contagious I tap along
drowning myself in its remedy.

The bass line hums at a whisper
as nimble fingers strum the strings;
truly the hands of a master
control the instrument from which it springs.

A trumpeter groans on his horn
his lean figure shrouded in shade;
light catches the brass gleaming like morn,
reflecting the vibrant tone he made.

The drummer nods with his eyes closed
as his sticks keep time to the beat-
during a rest they stay poised,
turning to strike cymbals from his seat.

As the music plays time ebbs by
occasional people taking a swig;
tapping the rhythm out on a thigh
until the end of the gig.

Thank you Victor and Claire, for your hospitality, in your club so fair!

You paint such vivid pictures with your words, mon ami. Smile I could see it in my mind, as I read.
