FAP #3: Something To Talk About

Listening to Bonnie Raitt and well, couldn't resist

FAP #3:  Something To Talk About

“People are talking

they say we’re lovers...

Let’s give them something to talk about...”

    ** from “Let’s Give Them Something To Talk About”

        By Bonnie Raitt   from her album “Luck of The Draw”

*****

I often write about you

to you,

un-behaved words 

enticed by a cool poppy breeze.

Perhaps I stand too close,

waving from atop the Brooklyn bridge,

you are just across the river,

and it’s your witchy scented mystery

that draws me in,

making me sway slowly

with wild raspberry desire.

So let’s give them something

to talk about.

Let’s talk about love, 

about those demons

and the price they make you pay.

About the audacity 

of my wanting you

to hold my hand

making time slip away

while teaching me how to kiss

the nightmares within you.

And to show you what it means

when I say as a violin serenade,

be my lover

bend, sway and flow

while another side of me

says don’t go away.

****

There is much 

people will talk about,

but not nearly as much

as our writing a senyru

while floating the Adriatic

on a blue-sky’d summer day.

I’ll be your silver/grey dolphin,

sleek, sexy as hell;

perhaps you’ll be my mermaid,

dark hair’d siren beauty

with a swaying tale.

*****

So, let’s give them something to talk about.

Let’s talk about love.

Bonnie Raitt....that song....well, it's always made me smile. Who can resist a "witchy scented mystery"? Perhaps it is time for words to misbehave (or un-behave as the case may be)when Bonnie sings! At least they should have a "wild raspberry desire" or wear a raspberry beret....but I digress. When another human being can kiss away the nightmares, it is meant to be. Ah, mermaids and dolphins and blue seas....sexy as hell indeed....and always, my friend, very "nice." Your romantic poetry rocks! Lydi**
