"PLAY IT AGAIN SAM!"

Like dominoes one writer's posting can trigger off another writers ability to compose. We inspire each other ~ hopefully!

   

    "PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM!" ~ Yesterday, once more.

Play it again Sam. Play that tune again!.

In a smoke fille room, midst half filled chair(s)

nostalgia can surely be found there.

Two lovers once sat ~ holding hands,

by the flicker of candle light ***.

Across the table she looked into eyes of deepest blue

He held her soft and delecate hands >>>

with fingers slender finished off in crimson hue.

But for Sam on saxophone ~ they were alone.

Moments like these you could easily clone.

Slow sips of Bourbon or finest wine

After au dervs ~ never intended to dine!

Ambiance sets the mood for romance>>>

"Just hold me closer as we dance!"

"Play it again Sam, caress your Saxaphone ...

for the lady wears red ~ she'll sleep alone ~

on a tear filled pillow ~ no one to call her own!"

Note:

Happy endings are always fine

but these scensrios are the realities of time.

for as I compose in woeful prose

these exist ~~~~heaven knows!

Author's Note

Inspired by another writer's piece.

I appreciate the Casablanca reference.

Romance always seems to reign under the cloak of candlelight and musical tune. Good to see you were inspired by another's work. Just be careful. Some get quite touchy about being the 'inspirer' and inspiration soon becomes plagiarism in their eyes.

A nice write.

I read. I observe. I am inspired by ideas/thoughts.

I close my eyes and I can see it all. Feeling the memories once lost return. I love your poem!

[kitty]

Thank you kind poet. Your review is most welcome. Takes a word or two to 'trigger' off memories.

So glad that I found time to visit your sight Kitty, unfortunately I only ever played, or used a mouth organ and Er-indoors was never a music lover, holding hands was good enough so I have quite a few unused instruments in my drawers. That doesn't sound quite right!!! Another great piece, take care Rod.

You never cease to amuse/amaze me! Hehe,He!

Such a master piece of art. Love is all beautiful if free flows from your heart into your words. You were fantastic with all your lines and all through the prose.

[kitty]

You have truly made my day. Just the medicine to cure all ills. Not a good day but this review has made up for it. Thanks!

[Writer at last! Sky ~]

All days will be good and maybe just too good if you write such beautiful poems my dear friend. Your most welcome :)

i just love Casablanca...and your references work so well in setting the mood here...i like Sam on the Sax rather than the piano...

"if she can take it, so can it"

so many loves start out romantically...and with "ever after" intentions...but end sadly, with the need to part...been involved in that before...the circumstances overriding the feelings.

Having read the reviews so far I have decided to add a post poem verse. The Sax is one of my favourite musical instrument - cant play it though -sadly. has that melancoly feel about it!

[lightsong]

Oh! It ended sadlly! Your words were setting the romantic mood for us with great feelings, it's sad to see a lonely lady at the end... I've known You for years dear Kitty, and I know how Your inspiration works sometimes, just like here, and yes, we do inspire each others, with a word, with a thought, a poem or a review, with a feeling... etc, lovely sweet romantic piece.

P.S, WN is working again, but I thought why telling everyone, will it even work tomorrow!

Thanks dear friend for this visit and the review. I like happy endings but in reality stuff like that does happen. Brings me back to one X WN writer and a friend now passed who went through the same experience. Will rush over to WN to check them out. Thanks
