Moon Dreams --
You left me floating down the river
Moon dreams --
Reflecting slowly on the sea
Left you --
With just a tendency to shiver
Left me --
With only hope and memory
Moon dreams --
When we walked and talked together
Moon dreams --
I can't forget a single day
All gone --
With the winds and sunny weather
No more --
There's no reason left to stay
Just those isolated Moon dreams
Floating down the river
Moon dreams --
Floating down to you
All I ever see is Moon dreams
When all I wanna see is you
Author notes
OK, so it's just rubbish 
But when I read your list of Miles Davis titles I got as far as Moon Dreams and heard this in my mind.
Had to go and find the album and play the rest, and this misses out a whole section, but still evokes the song in my head ...

It it set to Miles Davis playing Moon Dreams

This is far from "rubbish" -- it is romantic, stylish and a good read. You do a fine job of harkening back to a 1950's jazz song kind of feel here and that's part of what I was looking for. I thought the last stanza really brought this to an appropriate close. Well done.

I can just make out the saxophone in the background and just a hint of brush on some skins............Good luck Jeffkins

Not a Miles fan, but I listened to the music and read your poem and they marry well together, a touch of the melancholic and blues rolled into one.
All the best in the contest.
