Magnifying Glass

Let us conjure moonlight dreams,
while you pick your memories up
out of the blue velvet,
wet lips on wood sticks
and blow.
Pretend I am your blue moon goddess,
white dress, all curves,
sleek sex siren~
dripping smooth

honey melody.

My microphone makes love
to your saxophone as
you purr and grind symphonic beats.
Eyes trickle down the small of my back,
where sequins kiss brown dimples.
Hips lightly sway
to sweet groans of
deep~ dark~ notes.
Belt me a song. Blow it hard

and long.
Every curve~ lush, vibrates
this haunt black melody.
Something I can swing with~ into the dark
with panting breathless tongues
wagging me out the door, as I
choke down your beat
like sweet poison.
Smoke wisps curl
while in the candle glow
you suck down amber on the rocks.
Try to drink it in.
Pretend it isn't just

another regret.

daddy twirled his fingers slow,
made his glass sing.

I was mesmerized.

You paint such a beautiful picture using words & wit. You have a style & a certain 'touch' that is your & yours alone. Your work makes me strive to be more thorough, & descriptive in my own writing. I believe that you are perhaps the definition of Inspirational. Well done.

[Kristina Moulaison]

Wow, I hope to live up to those words someday...thank you! :)

[Chrys]

In these eyes you have lived up to them & then some.

[Kristina Moulaison]

You are very kind. Thank you

There is such a beautiful dance within your music here. You capture that sense of passion as sax and song blend in perfect harmony. Dreamily voiced and truly mesmerising... in every way!

[Crowley]

Slow and supple, long and fraught with things that go bump in the night in a good way. This had the feel of a hot Savannah summer night, and the mood of a Jazz club in the French Quarter. I loved every breath of it it, super visual but even more tactile. This was as awesome as it gets I think.

mesmerized, yes, that's just about the understatement of the year . . . this is amazing, sexy stuff . . . I'll be coming around here more often

And I am mesmerized. You create an engrossing ambiance in this poem. There are some negative undertones, but they seem to complement the mood rather than weaken it. Impressive, Misty.

[Jibey]

I loved the powerful imagery and the sultry, sexy undertones of this writing... wonderful mood poetry

Clearly you have discovered that the saxophone is the most expressive instrument known to man : >) I have tickets to the annual "Guitars and Saxes" concert in Anchorage in a couple of weeks, front row, center stage, I'll think of this piece as I let Euge Groove, Jeff Lorber, Jeff Golub, and Jessy J purge my soul on May 8th.

Your words are magnetic and compelling! I found each line to be a little more charismatic than the last...almost hypnotic. So very sensual....and the musical references were simply delicious! Great work. lydia
