Ebony Love Songs
Ebony Love Songs
We’re not together anymore,
but I still feel you in my heart
every day
the bush-that-doesn’t-burn away.
Ebony love songs, ebony fears
fashioned to survive the years
soulful music laced with tears
cry of love as evening nears.
They don’t believe
we have a human understanding of love
but of a truth,
being separated from you,
my world’s in B Flat.
Where have ebony love songs gone?
Transformed to crudeness, oh so wrong.
Breeding hatred ever strong,
with strangling words that don’t belong.
I howl every night.
Your voice talks to me
in my dreams
as the moon, silver
caresses my sleep.
Luther, Isleys, where are you
with melodies of love so true?
Cruising voices, singing blue,
no other sound as sweet will do.
