Bass Guitar
I met you in a pub one night
The way we sometimes do
You slid your card across to me
Said “call me if you’re wanting to”
You told me you played bass guitar
But not so much these days
You had a bike you tinkered with
Then we both went on our way
I left that card beside me
On my table stacked with books
I wasn’t sure I wanted you
And your kind of kooky looks
But time it was a wasting
And each day I got a little old
Read the rest of the poem Show less
I chose to make that call one day
And this was what you told
“I’d really like to meet again
And I think you’re really fine
Let’s meet up for a drink one night
And drink just a little wine”
You said that we could “just be friends “
The night you walked me to the car
But suddenly you were kissing me
You’d somehow raised the bar
But last night at the pub I found
There was more for me to know
A woman walked in with a friend of mine
She was sweet and talked real slow
Apparently she was dating
A guy on bass guitar
They’d been together quite some time
He was her super star
I turned around and there you were
Astrumming in the band
I thought back oh so recently
When we’d walked hand in hand
Can’t trust these men that walk my way
And fall into my path
They seem to think I’m nothing
And break my heart in half.

"The AI. ( almost song-like quality to the piece. ) I'd take that and run with it; a goodly amount of poetry tells a tale, loosens and wiggles the fingers n toes-- kinda like that o' so cool ( maybe not so cool) bass gui…" -

"I like the laid-back style of one-two, one-two lines and the story-telling rhyme. I hope that I see more of your work here. ~ Geezer. ." -

About Me
About me
I have written poetry all my life, but had little opportunity to go public with it. I recently joined a local Open Mic poetry group that is very accepting. I would like to have some of my work put to music and recently met someone who said he would help and he recommended this Neopoetry site.
