Perhaps the blues is a woman
the middle of a stormy sea
supernatural creature hard to understand
a strange and sometimes cruel lady...
I gave her the sand
from far away distant castles
to the shores of her distant land
of a blues drenched love..
Sought just a measure of comfort
searching for the clue
I paint these words
Mississippi blues for you...
Put a bullet in my brain
an earthquake beneath me
hop on a southbound train
leave me feeling guilty..
You the black rabbit
who stalked my dreams
a diffused membrane of reality
nothing was what it seemed..
It was fire
that made Prometheus a martyr
for Eve the apple
you my dear are just a pariah..

"You the black rabbit.."
For some reason, unknown to me...
Chocolate coloured skin, really turns me on!
"An earthquake beneath me"
Yes...that's it!
Glad to see you are aware that woman is
"a supernatural creature"
Hope you get your's!x

Thanks buddy, I grew up on blues and zydeco in southern Mississippi..Zydeco being a form of Cajun blues based music..

There's a tinge of contempt on her especially on the last line. A border hate towards her.
But hope it's not about your love.
Struggles misunderstood.
Take care Ken my brother.
