a really good song has your throat by the first eight-count
owning your heartbeat as it opens up wide
it lays on your tongue smooth as chocolate
then bites down hard like good whiskey
a really good one sticks to your brain like dementia
and doesn't let go until it is through with you,
sinking in deep like an old friend, pumping rhythm
intravenously like a sweet soul transfusion
it begs your body to shut up, shut down and let go
drowning every pore in melodic waves of ecstasy
rattling your spine with such a shock wave
as coffee and greater sins could only dream
like sex without the consequences
instant zen, yours for the taking
a really good song, if it is really good
stamps your soul with a reminder
of who you are, were, or can be
when you are better than you ever thought possible
now this is a Classic! A really good song deserves a REALLY good poem like yours! keep up the good work! HBH
Wow, what a wide open and vivid tribute to the power of music with lines to match the finest of musical phrases!
This is amazing, it has such depth and meaning to so many, including myself. A Really Good Song? 'HOPE THERE'S SOMEONE'by ANTHONY AND THE JOHNSONS I really cried at this one when I felt the pain contained, and oh what a voice.
Loved this one so much that I even emailed it TO MYSELF! ! Scarlett

If I could give you a twenty on thin one, I would. There are so many good images, it is hard to choose the best, but I think my favorite is 'pumping rhythm intravenously like a sweet soul transfusion' or perhaps 'instant zen, yours for the taking.' Thanks for this. I am bookmarking it. Raynette
