Instruments Of An Affair Poem by Kevin East

That saxaphone
When you're alone
Will haunt your soul.
We'll dance again
In some jazz den
That daybreak stole.


Revealing our tryst
As sweet notes kissed
With one drum roll.
You and I can compare
Instruments of an affair.


That pianoforte
And chocolate torte
Enjoyed together.
Just you and I
Held hands to sigh
To 'Stormy Weather.'
No love song finer
In our clandestine diner
To pull the heart strings.


Remembered when Billie Holiday sings.
You and I can compare
Instruments of an affair.
