Wider Room

There is a wider sense of you

skipping stones across the water

of loud, smoke-filled rooms.

Smell of whiskey on your voice,

laughter comes but mostly goes,

you miss the music in your feet.

Thinking only of some desperate distance day,

when stories, neon-colored prose,

told to every young and old,

have a cleaner taste of telling to be told.

"neon-colored prose"

Nice turn of phrase - more brilliant than the event perhaps. Second readings are better. :D

"...whiskey on your voice..."

A "Poe"esque sounding here. You have an eclectic way with words, poet :D
