Memory Lane

I encountered you in another space,

And lost track of time because of your

Grace and charm: we wanted to find

A quiet place, so we could mix and mingle

Freely: after all, experiencing privacy was

Key to our peace of mind, where Father Time

Would be kind to us: left alone, we could

Escape from the maddening rush. Years later,

I can still hear the poetry in your voice,

And your deep, brown eyes melting in the

Ocean like the sky. Nostalgia can help and

Heal a broken heart and a romance which,

Sadly, did not last: it is a melancholy note

From our past.

TEARS FOR WATER* BY SINGER ALICIA KEYS

Like many folks, I am a big fan of Alicia Keys.
Her musical talents have moved me to tears, smiles, nods of agreement, and even smooth moves on the dance floor.

So, I was really geeked to find her poetry book amid the many treasures uncovered at my local thrift store.

Here's the verdict...
I wasn't all that impressed.
In my opinion, she's a much better lyricist and singer than poet.

Although her candor and willingness to expose her raw emotions through the written word earned much respect, I had higher hopes.

For one thing, the poems were too long to create the effect that they had the potential of creating. Secondly, there was nothing unique or original in her style of expression.

The positives?

I loved some of the titles and the book has over 100 pages of verse.

Overall I would give it ** STARS.
