This is interesting because it seems to have a jazzy word sound. Some of the symbols in words or metaphors are obscure and I can't comment because they seem to be totally subjective.

    Well, thank you for reading. I did not mean to be too obscure. "The long black one, that the scarves love as well"- just my coat.

This is an exceptional and sensual poem spoken by a man to a beloved. I sense the intimacy of his words as he speaks with refrains for emphasis:

Kinda real
ain't it, ain't it
with the lights so low

We jus' as new
as the canvas
paint it, paint it
with lights left low

The painting imagery is an effective metaphor for the creativity of love and sex:

Lay the brush
in the locket
and paint our brand new glow

Wow!

Your poem ends with a promise of romance when the lights are down low.

Thank you for sharing.

I smell the sweet scent of nostalgia in your fascinatingly sensitive post my friend, the memories relived, are just a touch away. Deftly scribed on the page of affection, softly stepping on the stairway to nirvana. Well done, and excellently penned work, blessings, Roy

This poem, So, So The Lights Are Low, has a quirky meter and repetition which leaves the impression of nervousness or doubt. A comfortable meeting with an air of caution.

    I think you describe well the trepidation of new love.

BEAUTIFUL Photo of a lovely city. Ducks add to enchantment of picture and mood. Love the way paint is used to paint lovely landscapes, and turning the lights down low makes for a better view, perhaps, and better painting. It is, also, so romantic. REAL NICE. Check out mine, also. Liberty justice

This is a very sweet and romantic poem you have penned my friend. You used very good descriptive wording. I could tell the feelings as I saw the way you wrote the words out. Very good job! Blessings, Teri

An eye-catching bit of art, the lights and fowl on the water. The free verse has images that mystify me(pocket locket full of snow?) but overall the images bring the message smoothly.

    Yes, an old locket I open on my walk and let it fill with snow. The brush needs a water wash, now for something new. Better?
