A Tall Drink a Water

Homeless man walks into a bar... song

Rhythmic bones that sway into this night
Her eye catching way, keeps my heart a flight

Forty voices crossing, she is all that I hear
Over thirsty tavern patrons waiting on a beer

 

She is mixing cocktails, shots, long island ice teas
A tall drink a water is what she makes for me

Her gaze through this crowd, cheers my dreary soul,
While I line up pool balls and knock them in the holes

I cant help but to look, every chance I get
Lost in the way she moves... simple pleasure yet

When her rhythmic bones begin to sway...
I fall into her rhythm, and gently... slip away~

Sometime simple is enough. The simple things can be the best things.
Oh my Long Island Teas are my favorite.
And this poem is now a favorite of mine.
Lost in the moment of such imagery and a wonderfully written poem.
Loved it.

Sometimes simple is all we need :D

this piece had a sort of musical feel to it and that is always my aim....it gets me so utterly entertained :)

The simplicity is what keeps people coming back...so keep this up. I enjoyed it :D

Sometimes simple is all you need... I use to have a crush on a bartender... whenever I was at that bar I would watch her make drinks, this poem reminds me of that.
