Candy's Room Revisited

oh to be young again...

‘Candy’s Room’ Revisited

“Baby if you wanna be wild

you got a lot to learn

close your eyes...

Let them burn, burn, burn.”

~~Bruce Springsteen

Slowly,

you smile,

one of those

“I’m gonna eat you alive”, smiles

and there is nothing I can do.

Nothing I want to do,

except, join in this feast.

I am lost in your room, 

in the breath 

and taste of you;

lost in the depth

of your Autumn eyes,

and I don’t wanna be found

ever again.

Come baby

burn my eyes,

teach me to be wild,

kiss me

with your sunset lips.

Cover me 

with all your colors,

with the fire of being alive

and flying toward the sun.

Come baby.

Burn me

in the ashes of your Autumn leaves.

Cover me

I don’t wanna be found

ever again.

Except,

in the arms of your heat.

Come baby

cover me.

Burn my eyes

with your sweet,

 Autumn memory.

i'm in autumn, young won't come again...except in my mind.

nice poem Redzone..you take me back.

The intimacy of the desire in this one is captivating, Curt. Somehow I don't believe anyone has to teach you to be wild....with words like these, you could write the manual! To be lost in the romance is absolutely divine....Curt, what can I say? "Nice". Lydi**

[redzone]

ah to be in love.. wish it were so Lydi.. it is amazing.. but what amazes me more sometimes is that it is me writing this.. lol... Lydi, I read that manual and was confused from the first word - "The"... oh well... thank you Lydi I love when you are able to read and comment...

Woo a stirring read my friend, I like this better than Springsteen's version. Ooooh la la la!

[redzone]

thanks Frieda... but.. er... be careful, this is where you learn to be wild, this is Candy's room.. your name isn't Candy is it??? cause if it is... oh my... er.. red slowly locking door hoping Frieda will stay a little while... HA!!!` whew, not to worry Frieda, just got carried away with your visit... ;0)

[Frieda P]

Ha wouldn't you love to know neighbor? ;-) I have burnt a few autumn leaves now and again, ha, I loved it, why is no one reading this divine ditty?

[redzone]

don't know Frieda.. but my guess is that I usually do not have the time to review many others poetry and so people do not review mine... I am actually amazed at how people are able to read so many poems and comment... I try but it takes me awhile because I really try not to just say that I liked it or something short.. not that I analyse so much, but I like to leave something more if I can.. then too while I do read lots of poems, I don't always leave comments... so my thinking is that its more my doing than anything...

[redzone]

sorry, just realized my first comment could be seen as trying to discover your name.. really , eveyone knows you're Frieda!!! so Candy, er.. I mean Frieda.. hahahaha love you... ;0p

[Frieda P]

Well they don't know what they're missing! 'You can call me Al', that's my real name ;-) MWAH!

[redzone]

isn't either in that song or another from that album, a line that goes, "why am I soft in the middle"??? so Frieda call me Al, are you soft in the middle.. oh my I couldn't help that one it was just standing there waiting for me.. MWAH!! (Neil Simon, Graceland... another excellent musical choice from you) One of my favorites from the album is "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes"...

[Frieda P]

Ha I'll never tell, have to guard my joisey image ya know dear? ;-) I love that song, the intro is great...not many people even recall that one!

[redzone]

your joisey image is safe with me Frieda, Candy, call me Al; I would never tell, besides knowing you (even if only a little) I would never see you as soft in the middle or soft in any way.. you my sweet friend are a beautifully ferociously strong woman..

RAWR!! xoxo
