Poetry, dedicated to Pegeen.
It's just me, folks. Me, my instrutments, and my omnipresent muse. Blues, jazz, rock, country - any mix which fits is what I do.
My music is an adventure of spirit - frequently, my freely-given gift to those I find myself with.
Story behind the song
This was written for a woman I had a brief affair with (that didn't go very far), many years ago.

============================================
Hours slipped by and we got high
on talk and tenderness.
A timid touch became a rush;
we both expected less.
We watched a movie and we laughed,
together for a while.
It felt so good, to be so close;
so good, to see you smile.
We talked about the way we felt,
and where it all might lead.
You offered me a place to stay,
if I should ever need.
I offered you compassion -
there was passion, at the door.
We both would like to take our time.
We both desire more.
Oh, Tigress, you are dangerous.
Your eyes are smoldering coals where fire might
burst into a livid flame
if one small, dry twig tumbles wrong
or pushes to a tender place.
Oh, Tigress: deep inside, we find
we need that tight embrace.
We cuddled there, and filled the lot
around us with our pleasant thoughts.
A bolder touch;
a moment, lush with prospects in our box.
We join, then flit so far apart.
We twirl together, then we dart away.
We dip at soul's impassioned well,
and drop our hearts in trade.
Oh, Tigress, you are dangerous.
You touch me where my heart's desire can
drive me through the pouring rain
if one small, wrong thing hits me right
or cuts me in a tender place.
Oh, Tigress; though I've lost my pride,
you help with what I face.
Stalking city streets at night
where lonely sidewalks lead the way,
With souls to share, two hearts beware
the lure of love's tight cage.
We fidgeted and watched the clock
until our time was finally up.
A bolder kiss;
a moment, lush with promises - we stopped.
We dip, then slip so far apart.
We dance together, then we spin away.
One sip at soul's impassioned pond,
might trap our hearts for trade.
Oh, Tigress, we roll in the dust.
My worth is less than what you need to
push the darkness far away
if one small moment gets too strong
or simply puts us in our place.
Oh, Tigress - deep inside, we share
the need for love's dark chase.
