Emotional Rescue

I was listening to the Stones. Having fun with lyrics again. Always loved this song because of the sax throughout:)

I was dreaming last

night

that you could be mine

as a sax played just right

a poor girl

in a rich man's house

like a child

and it felt so right

into the night

I'll come to your emotional rescue

There is something to be said about a true poet, which you have more than proven yourself to be. The formatting gives it the sensual feel mirrored in the words. Like the rich layers of a sax played with passion, the tone of this piece flows over me and makes me want more.

Thanks, much appreciated:)!

Need some music. Poem would be perfect. I like the old songs. They had some poetry in their words. Good flow of thoughts and a very good ending. A outstanding poem.

Thanks Coyote! When you get a minute, check it out again. I finally figured out how to do "autoplay" on you tube. Let me know if it has a better feel:)

[Kenneth The Poet]

You came to mine with this piece.

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks Ken:)

[Jenny Nelson]

Short and sweet. Lots of feel in a few words. I like it. It's easy to get and it's "good to get."

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks Jenny. Good to see you:)

[Priscilla Sayers]

Such words are powerful to souls who often find themselves in emotional distress. Broken hearts ache when they read the sincerity and chivalry in your kind verse.

[The Analog Kid]

Thank you very much for the kind review Priscilla:)

[Priscilla Sayers]

My pleasure:)

Don't know that song. I never liked anything the Stones did past Exile On Main Street. Good Poem

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks brother. Yeah Exiles and before was the best of there stuff. I like the sax work also on Tattoo You and Some Girls of the newer stuff.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

it reminds me of a microphone stand too. I love it when poets produce art with their formats.......takes even more talent. This made me feel like a man who wants to better the life of the woman he loves......

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks for noticing the format:) Appreciate the review, Neva!

[Sami Khalil]

[The Analog Kid]

Thanks for reading and your kind review.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...

I like what you've done with short lines and centering. The whole thing sort of reminds me of the shape of a microphone stand. Also a fun experiment with economy of language.

Unrelated, but related as these things always are: heard "Miss You" in the therapist's waiting room. I thought, I don't worship the Stones but their music really is an undercurrent to growing up in the seventies. I had the same feeling of familiarity you did. And these are brilliant lines, with that contemplative obsessive bass line:

Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
It's just some friends of mine that say,
"Hey, what's the matter man?
We're gonna come around at twelve
With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you."

Great poetry. Yours and theirs.

Thanks Rose:) Isn't the disco era stones pretty cool...lol? We'll have to do a collab from that era soon!
