Casablanca's Legacy

Casablanca's Legacy

A Poem by E.j.aka.Hannah

Oh sweetheart Ive never been one for standing still,

Ive got time and demons I gotta kill,

So pick up the pace and tag along,

We may make the Cali line before dawn.

 

We were a bunch of criminals before God set us free,

These shoes on my feet and this car with this key,

Their our tickets to freedom, cant you tell,

We're not done here, stuck down in this well.

 

Im just a weak lil girl,

But baby Im the best one you're gonna find.

This heart of mine is heavy and gold,

So lets run before we're old.

Be my Humphry,

I wont be leaving you for no-one,

Ilsa is a killer gal,

And she's the only girl with guts and a gun.

 

I cant be trapped in these shores,

The waves make a mockery of me,

The mexico gulf beats these sand's sores,

I want to beat the sirens with the sides of my oars.

 

Living for the laughter is my only appeal,

Living without you is cause to be ill.

 

Im just a weak lil girl,

But baby Im the best you're gonna find.

This heart of mine is heavy and gold,

So let's run before we're old.

Be my Humphry,

I wont be leaving you for no-one,

Ilsa is a killer gal,

And she's the only girl with guts and a gun.

Something about this woman makes me believe everything is going to be alright.
What a gal. The scenery is nice. I like the way you made the beach both comforting and abusive. You have made quite an impression with this IIsa. Somehow I find myself wanting to know more about her.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns, she picks mine... Play it again Sam.
Love the pic of Bogart and Becall in African Queen on your page. I love all those old movies, they just don't make them like that anymore do they.

This was wonderful Hannah. It seems like you were born too late. Me too.
