A Rich Substance

Something beautiful happens
When life overflows
Like the chance meeting
Of duelling banjos

You play the guitar
Much better than me
On your lonely nights
While I ran free

Then love finally turns up
Unsteady on the nerves
A flowing rich substance
More than anyone deserves

Nice flow of thoughts leading to a positive ending. I like the use of the duelling banjos to make your point in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Beautiful poem indeed. Duelling banjos... have seen it once in a film I think, was a very special music performance. Liked your poem. :) Rudi

I really like the references to music. The banjos and guitar. Music and writing or music and feelings pretty much always go together! Thanks you!

I like the word play of rich - it has so many connotations - without love we are certainly poor
Your poem isnt like conventional love poems and Im sure its very personal to you B
Thanks for sharing it with us and letting us take something from it too.

The imagery in this is electric. I love the dueling banjos and the attraction so rich it is actually a substance. Very nice!

Intriguing and making me think on that last stanza/
Love the first stanza all by itself.
But, the second one--does it hold the key?
