FRONT PORCH BLUES

Steel string's strummin.
Lost soul's just floatin.
Here i sit with those blues.

The blues forever hauntin.
Hauntin me,Hauntin you.
The shine's run low,and so has the wallet.

Sleep's in my forecast now.
Crazy how somethin called shine,
Can bring such darkness.

It's the blues they say.
Where does it come from?
The answer is alway in front of you.
Or in that glass in your hand..........................................................................

Hello

Nice to meet you. Very deep and thought provoking. My favorite lines: It’s the blues they say. Where does it come from? The answer is alway in front of you. Or in that glass in your hand… Always, Cat

Hello Billy...

This is a sweet melancholy poem... I think this is my favorite so far; this is my rainy day poem. And that's when I'm happiest! Simply exquisite Billy... Keep shining, you crazy diamond friend of mine! Your crazy diamond friend, Raven-Shakti
