How long has it been?
I still miss you.
It still breaks my heart.
try to talk,
but you say its one thing,
then its another,
the story keeps changing, but
the result is still the same.
Told to put you in my past.
Forget you.
One more separation between me and the world.
One more hurdle to jump.
One more hurt to raise my wall of fear.
The world sees my fear.
They taste my intermittent anguish.
To be me like I was with you.
To jump past the mountain of pain,
to be sunny bright and in the moment.
To be friendship, closeness, and love.
To be able to achieve all this,
what a dream.
Stuck in this blues club,
I have my coffee and cigarettes.
The sax wails it's lonely tune.
I should go home where the light is.
Where the sun shines and the waves break.
Maybe just a few more minutes to indulge my sad heart.
Every Time We Say Goodbye (1961 in Baden-Baden, Germany) John Coltrane - soprano sax, tenor sax Eric Dolphy - flute, alto sax McCoy Tyner - piano Reggie Workman - bass Elvin Jones - drums

drawn from way down low
low notes from the keys moan
so take it in once more then go.
I felt you all the way. That's poetry, dear lady.

Shalom veahava - S.
but we're not here to talk of him, eh?
on the subject of THIS piece, i have to confess: the most appealing aspect is the brokenness--how it's mostly phrase rather than sentence.
for a sentence, after all, is complete.
unbroken.
for fare such as this, a (sentence) fragment is far more fair.
kudos, ma'am.
wow, Chana... this is soooo emotional... great work... love and hugs
beautiful!
