Frisky Tune

I was like music to her
She'd press her lips to mine
Then blow.
No matter how tired I was,
For her
I'd always put on my best song,
Note by note.
She'd polish my lips in whiskey
Her slender brown fingers more frisky
Late last night.

She'd tell me I broke her heart
That's what she'd say,
But not before she got home.
Press another trumpet
against her lips.
I caught her fingers between the slips
Hearing the same song
I played for her
Louder & louder her foot tapped
Louder & louder her foot tapped

This poem is stunning raw, rhythmic, and emotionally powerful. The way you blend music, intimacy, and heartbreak is brilliant. Every line feels alive with sound and feeling. Truly exceptional writing!
