Let it Be

Let it Be

hot chocolate nights

serenity is a loose fitting sweater

of ennui

the expected

the secure

marshmallow kisses

in tandem with 

film noir

popcorn moments

mid-summer

anxious heat

hands confused

boredom a welcomed friend

love a scary adversary

better to just walk together

moonlight exchanges

Words

poetic endeavors

embraces are syllables

that may or may not connect

when the time warrants

we do.

No problem!

[Poetic Beauty]

Oh those simple moments spent together in a bubble of only the two. I love serenity compared to a cup of coco. Warm and cozy soothing on the inside

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I like that...the bubble of only two.
thank you, P.B.

Our past wriggles into our present, loitering what seems to matter 'til time comes when we realise it really does.. OR - it's gone, best left behind! You turn words and thoughts on their head, offering them up as a sacrifice to your reviewers' supposition, sir! More than your special way of reasoning, sir.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for the kind words, em,

I sense a tentitive treatise here, maybe, will I, won't I? ... Yup, shyness, previous heartbreak in a relationship sure can lead one to be at best suspicios of commitment, yet the allure of physical, palpable romance may prove more exciting than previous countless weekends alone with only candy, tv movies and maybe conceive another lovelorn poem to help while away the hours?

A marvellous, metaphoric masterpiece Jacob, much enjoyed the aloofness, uncertainy throughout here!

Thank you for your perceptive review, Tom,

Yet another excellent use of words and poetic form from a true master. Extraordinary Jacob. Going back in time.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

You are too kind, Ken.
thank you,

Ah Jacob another great subtle metaphorical write not only with wonderful images but this time with advanced vocabulary that I had to look up. Such a perfect word "ennui" I will do my best to remember it. There is a meta feel to this piece beyond the words that continues to echo in my being not just mind. You have touched something.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I am glad you could find a meta feel in this Soren.
It always surprises me when my words can move.

I don't know if this is about the Beatles song and film but it certainly describes a youngsters emotions in the early 70's .
"Let it Be" they sang through all the tentative moments not so brazen as today's youngsters.
Each verse describes the breaking free from innocence in a such a lovely way .....

"boredom a welcomed friend
love a scary adversary
better to just walk together."
Images and emotions from long ago brought back here :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Just the title....but that group always an influence.
thank you, Stella,

[Lydia Shutter]

Sounds like a summer romance to me....back when French kissing was the ultimate in sensuality. Sorta kinda watching the movie, but more interested in the person sitting next to you and the popcorn. I liked it! Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, Lydi.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

we would French kiss and then go to confession.

[Lydia Shutter]

ROFL I had a guy tell me once that he would have to go to confession because of me!

[andrew mitchell]

Life was simple back then, the beginning of the seventies when this album came out. And the simplicity really reflected the innocence too. I brought back to the drive in days and Pizza Hut.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Sad, it was the last album they released although it was recorded before Abbey Road.
thanks, andrew,
