He stepped out on the stage,
with his harmonica in hand.
His blues had turned to rage.
On this, he had not planned.
All these years of heartache
had turned to something new.
This time he felt his heart break
and his soul was long past blue.
Fearlessly he sang his love like art
looking down at her from the stage.
She had unlocked, the blues from his heart
and emotionally freed him from his cage.
She blew him a kiss and walked away
with the ex-drummer from his band.
It’s better he thought, to end it this way
to suffer her words, he just couldn’t stand.
He dried his eyes, without missing a note
then he scanned the women in the crowd.
It was over with her, that was all she wrote
as he stood tall on the stage playing proud.

Thank You for Your entry: Fearless Voice
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times ~
I'm Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for my contest
You took the prompt and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!! When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~
Woven Strengths: Oh My- while digesting I kept being shown a shovel
and Sacred ground~ as if burying the past...I am seeing a eulogy read and
also words spoken at a funeral ...but inside the casket are words...
pages of words written
I am shown a child...holding a Barbie doll and reference to Miley Cyrus
And noticed in the fourth line~ On this, he had not planed..
did You mean...On this, he had not planned...
Wanted to run that by for Your review
Tight rhyme also~
I kept being shown reference to Great White...whether Metaphor or literal
Also shown a charm...and kept getting words: Tinker Bell
And seeing images of Winnie the Pooh...reference to word: Mascot~
You know I am shown that commercial where the little child- boy
gathers wind from the outside to show his Grandpa...
have it blow out his candles on his birthday cake...
I am shown the glass jar...where a child goes to gather kisses, sounds of nature...her laugh... or whatever she feels would bring a smile to Your face and stores it for You...whenever You need a lift or a moment laughter...
all You have to do is open the jar
However that is to be Interpreted.
You give the Reader much to think about
Love the direction You took with this prompt
Hopefully my comment to Your write makes sense
Powerful verse and message You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
It was over with her, that was all she wrote
as he stood tall on the stage playing proud.
Vivid Imagery poured in these lines...
Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Voice
also best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
Many blessings too
with much love and light~ Desire~*~

ANOTHER GREAT WRITE,BY SUCH A TALENTED AUTHOR -
Oh my, you truly are the BluesMan. You are very nice-looking and I cannot believe you haven't got someone in your life. Wonderful poem that read like a blues ballad. Your imagery was great and you painted such sad pictures in the reader's mind. Another heart-touching write.
