Casablanca state of mind...‏

~when two lover's woo

In a Casablanca state of mind,

   want to be kissed 

                   like it's the last time

           remember every detail,

the romance in my soul

                fell into a deep slumber

yet as time goes by

 I want you, to make me believe

 in love again,

     even when a gun is pointed at my heart

Paris in moonlight sounds grander

               than those fine piano keys,

    I want to play it again   ~

                    for recollection's old times sake   

I could be your Ilsa, you can be my Rick ~

C'mon,

     Bogart me baby...

I love the addition of the music. It seems really romantic, unless you've actually watched Casablanca. I love that it hints at darkness, without flat out stating it:) " I want you, to make me believe in love again, even when a gun is pointed at my heart"

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much Rachel, glad you picked up on that ;)

Oh love love love ... *_*
So much romantic and tender ... Love back then was something near craziness !It was an ART .
Feeling jealous of women in the past lol !
Anyways , stunning work, as always ! ;)

[Frieda P]

Grazie, merci beaucoup, jazz'd you enjoyed. :)

[Mélania Woolf]

Derien ! :D I so much did

Even when a gun is pointed at my heart...I nearly lost consciousness there Mrs.R, only you have that kind of drama in your words...everything changes halfway through this piece...even though Paris makes an appearance, the romanticism is not the same...by the time I got to the last line I'd forgotten all about Casablanca and just pondered the sentiment...but, for what it's worth, here is Rick at your service ;) xo

[Frieda P]

Ilsa is grinning like a silly school girl. ;) Thanks sweetie, there's a similar line about the gun, but I took it out of context really, the retort is something like that's my least vulnerable spot...jazz'd you enjoyed my fantasy. :) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha I must admit that I don't know this movie as well as other ones ;) I enjoy all your creative fantasies love :) xo

[Lyn Anderson]

Okay, how do I review this one -- love the reference to Casablanca, not sure I would want to be treated like that, but I do dig the sentiment.

[Frieda P]

I'll take it, you didn't find Bogie sexy?

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, I guess I can't relate to the era, and the super dominant male persona.

[Frieda P]

Yes I'm sure we'd never stand for it, but that's what it was back then...I just love the old flicks.

Forgot to rate this one. Doing it now. 100

[Frieda P]

Woo, thanks again Will!

[Matching Socks]

Ah well, that dumdum Will stole my line. :)
Men were so much more romantic back then it seemed in the movies.
And if you wanted up a girls skirt, you had to work for it.

You've "made me believe in love again" Frieda.

[Frieda P]

I think we were born in the wrong era, I agree Ance....thanks so much, now if I could only believe ;)

[Matching Socks]

Maybe we were. :)
I like the feel of those times. Less stress. Dapper men.
But then, I do love my converse sneakers and those peep toe cherry reds so..... :)

[Frieda P]

Ha it all comes down to shoes, always....I think they had some cool ones back then, but no Converse for sure ;) 'dapper'...great word.
