Coffee Shop Chanteuse
sweet Bourbon necklace
laced in cappuccino embers
of lost quiet moonshine
deep in pirate alley kisses
when Luna rides her stallion
high in the heat of summer sky
over spired flames of stars
that burn in a rhapsody
of dark river chicory
whose smoke swirls in arabesques
set in ivory circles
of Monet jazz songs
whose rose scented steam
is the perfume for a June waltz
Enfolded in the feathery notes
of her dusky nightingale timbre

Thanks so much my friend. This lady was singing old jazz songs at the coffee shop today. She was my muse.

Your poem puts me in the mood of sailing and travel, the image of a sailor who is watching and expressing the scenes, keeping it in his head because soon it will only be a memory. There is sadness going along all the lines. Emotionally written.
Thank you so much Light for your heartfelt reflections on my poem. Your impressions of my words here are deeply appreciated. Love your interpretation of the mood within my words. Indeed there is a depth of understanding in your thoughts and the feelings my poem inspired for you that really feels right. Deep gratitude.
