Blue Moon Tonight? Poem by RIC BASTASA

whether the moon tonight is blue
really depends on you

loneliness is just a state of mind
you must learn how to take your wine

walk inside this bar and sit there for a while
take your scotch on the rocks
and look for someone looking for someone like you
smile the smile he gives you and wait for him to say hello
give him the look he is looking for
and compliment him with words he too likes to hear

like you he likes to have someone tonight
someone just to kiss and hold
like you he wants to have a little warmth
like you he wants to have a moment

just tonight for two lonely bodies to keep living
and then the moon tonight will never be blue

a little compromise tonight do not look for love
just someone to hold and then release like a white dove
