By Vintage Black and Secret Thoughts Within
I am your only
late night listener,
savoring your words spoken
over and over,
alone in the blackness.
Messages played on loop
in the radio host sound
of your voice,
I tune in to enjoy
yet another twilight sample.
Your poetic mixtape
of descriptive drunken words
makes perfect sense
to my late-night soul,
so, I dial in every sunset.
Alas! That intoxicating oeuvre,
over and over
I play it
as I live in fear
that you’ll disappear and I’ll end up,
singing in silence.
After such a lust driven
radio overdose,
I keep listening to your lyrical musings,
they feel like luxurious textured notes
for the soul of this
your only late-night listener.
For VB my warrior sister, all I can say is… Thank you.
💜😍

So many awesome lines and phrases. That’s really cool: “late-night soul”. This is so cool. A throwback to the good ol’ radio days. I bet those were fun times for so many. And voices were everything then! Great work by both of you!

Wonderful. You two have a good flow: I can’t even tell it was two different poets because the words went so well together. 🙂
