PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

HAIR FLYING IN THE WIND,

EYES LOOKING THROUGH,

GLASSES ROUND IN SHAPE,

BUT THAT IS NO HELP,

TO WHAT I CALL LADY BLUES,

YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES,

AND FEEL HER PAIN,

HEAR IT IN HER VOICE,





A VOICE RASPY FROM WHAT,

COULD IT BE THINGS DONE,

TO MAKE IT WHERE SHE WAS,

THINGS SNORTED UP HER NOSE,

MAYBE INTO THOSE FRAGILE VEINS,

VEINS THAT CARRY THE MESSAGE,

OF LOVE AND LONELINESS,

NO ONE COULD SING IT THEN,

NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SINCE,

TAKE THE PLACE, OF LADY BLUES,



MANY HAVE TRIED TO WALK HER WALK,

LIVE THE LIFE SHE LIVED,

THEY COULD NOT KEEP UP,

THAT SHOULD REALLY SAY SOMETHING FOR THE LADY BLUES.



SHE LET US SHARE HER LIFE WITH THE SONGS SHE SANG,

LISTEN TO THE SADNESS IN HER VOICE,

THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR THE LADY BLUES,



OPEN YOUR HEART,

WITH AN OPEN MIND,

LISTEN TO THE WORDS

THAT COULD ONLY BE SUNG

BY JANIS THE QUEEN OF LADY BLUES.



TO ME SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST WOMEN,

NOT AFRAID TO MAKE HER MARK IN HISTORY,

SHE JUST TOOK THE BULL BY THE HORNS,

THE REST AS WE KNOW IS JUST A MEMORY,

HER CONCERTS WERE TIME TO SHARE,

WHAT MOST TIMES WAS TRULY A PIECE OF HERSELF,

WE LOVED YOU THEN AND WE STILL PULL YOU FROM THE SHELF,

IN TIMES OF WONDER.... I CAN STILL LET YOU TAKE ME AWAY,

ON THE MUSICAL NOTES THAT FLOW FROM YOUR MOUTH,

TO A TIME WHEN THE WORLD WAS IN ABOUT THE SAME SHAPE AS TODAY,

BUT WE HANDLED IT IN SUCH A DIFFERENT WAY,

THANK YOU FOR BARING YOUR VERY SOUL TO THOSE OF US THAT

TRULY LISTEN....... YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY LADY BLUES
