a really good song has your throat by the first eight-count <br />owning your heartbeat as it opens up wide <br /> <br />it lays on your tongue smooth as chocolate <br />then bites down hard like good whiskey <br /> <br />a really good one sticks to your brain like dementia <br />and doesn't let go until it is through with you, <br /> <br />sinking in deep like an old friend, pumping rhythm <br />intravenously like a sweet soul transfusion <br /> <br />it begs your body to shut up, shut down and let go <br />drowning every pore in melodic waves of ecstasy <br /> <br />rattling your spine with such a shock wave <br />as coffee and greater sins could only dream <br /> <br />like sex without the consequences <br />instant zen, yours for the taking <br /> <br />a really good song, if it is really good <br />stamps your soul with a reminder <br /> <br />of who you are, were, or can be <br />when you are better than you ever thought possible<br /><br />Lori Boulard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/004-a-really-good-song/
