Rag-time Blues

I don't like this poem anymore, but maybe someone else will if I only post it here for them to read. This poem means many things to many people, and I won't taint it by telling you where my brain was when I wrote it. Suffice to say it no longer applies to me, and therefore I don't personally enjoy it like I did when I wrote it.

Dream in sultry rag-time blues,
When the darkness comes for you.

Hold your head up high again,
Walk the path without the pain.
Keep a leash on wild desire,
And be lost within the fire,

Dream in sultry rag-time blues,
When the darkness comes for you,

Knowing that with time will be,
A time that your heart is free,
To soar in the starlit night
A time when all will be right.

Dream in sultry rag-time blues,
When the darkness comes for you.

Cast away the doubt and fears,
When the shadows gather near;
Walk with pride into the light,
Leave behind the darkened night.

Dream in sultry rag-time blues,
When the darkness comes for you.
