Bloodstone, My Guitar

Bloodstone, My Guitar

A Poem by HollisAnn Harrison
"

A "Love Letter" to My First Electric Guitar

"

From first sight, 

I knew you were right.

From first touch, I struck a chord or two;

Turned on the amp, felt the vibrations from you.

I learned a few tricks, 

And in the mix,

I felt that this was better than sex.

And, no longer vexed,

Time had wings,

And I dreamed of bigger things.

Our future awaits,

And at the gates

Of Heaven I stand,

With you in hand; 

A microphone, stage and band will be

Our key to unlocking the Great Mystery

Of what lies in store

Beyond my door.

So here’s to you Bloodstone, my new electric sweetheart,

And I pledge that we will never part,

And make sweet melodies

And harmonies

To move mountains,

Hearken the souls of forty thousand,

Until at last I will be free,

Amongst the stars and, ultimately,

 

Exactly what I dreamed I could be.
