And the beat goes on...

This piece I'm sharing is sort of a poetic verbal sparring, after reading 
a thought shared, it was my turn to sling a few words in an attempt
to entertain. Not sure how it came across but I had some fun with
trying to recite the words how they come across in my head. Btw, if you read
along with me.. I left out one of favorite lines... darn it! But I've recited that
enough and leaving 'As Is'...


**Disclaimer** I'm not a poet nor do I understand the ins and outs of being a poet
but I do enjoy my attempts to share what's in my head.

And The Beat Goes On... 

-----------------------

'Coltrane'

‘And The Beat Goes On…’

You see!

That’s the shhh!

I’m talkin’ bout!

When I finally feel like

I got a grip

On things

Your beautiful display

Of free speech

Send my mine

On yet another trip

One that has me

Takin’ you by the hand

And leadin’ you to

Our favorite place

‘The dance floor of our thoughts’

Swept Away by Kevin Williams 

And just so you know

I got a few more tricks up my sleeves

As I two-step around your beautifully sculptured body

To the harmony

Of your thoughts

Intertwined

With minez

Mmm Mmm Mmm,

Can you hear it?

The ring

Ding

Dong

As ‘the beat goes on’

Thinkin’ to self…

That’s our song!

Damn that sounds good…

I dip you to the left…

And sway to the right

Clickin’ my heels

As if this trip

Will lead us down

That yellow brick roadJ

Dream Wonderland

Is where this trip will end

Because my mind stays in a trance

As thoughts of you slip

And slide to a melody

That only I can hear

Between my ears

For one lastin’ dance

As the beat goes on…
