Poem inspired by Ray Charles, featured in my poetry "The Composer" to be featured in July online issue of Skyline Magazine

“You’ve Got The Right One”

I’m it.
Look no further my verse and rhyme is very legit.
When it’s said and done and I’m nothing but a pile of ashes,
The way I moved my fingers across the page will remind you of Ray Charles at the piano and those black sunglasses.
You want this back?
Well I’m not letting it go-
The music within my heart, an everlasting water like flow,
An invincible glow-
I’m ready to take my place along with the great African-American writers of the 20th century,
Yep, you got the right one baby


R.I.P.

Ray Charles
