UB40 & Al Green Fantasies

...some favorite music..

UB40 & Al Green Fantasies

UB40 flowed easily

in my dreams last night.

Their cover of Al Green’s

“Here I Am (Come and Take Me)”*1

led me to Green’s

“Love And Happiness”*2

a “do right”, “do wrong” song

sung in all night long

soul.... oh yes!

A walkin’

talkin’

your hand covering mine

in a love

and happiness

witnessed floating

on clouds of pink shaded,

apricot’d ecstacy.

Oooooh yes

love soaked sheets

drenched in sweet happiness.

I awoke from this fantasy

reluctanly. But all day I’m singing,

darlin’

let me bring you

“Breakfast In Bed”*3

Aztec Warrior/redzone 6.18.16 

Notes: *1 is the title of the UB40 cover of Al Green’s

I forgot to mention . . . besides loving your penchant for weaving well-known & well-loved songs into your writes, I'm also a sucker for a man who cooks . . . so here I am, imagining you hustling around the kitchen fixing something tasty & sweet to eat . . . before moving on to the main course: "Breakfast in Bed" . . . "heh! heh! heh!" I'm also a big fan of apricot ecstasy *smile* . . . Now my imagination is fomenting the seeds of a new message with an apron over hairy legs & not much else . . . AH! I must stop this & go outside to cut weeds before the heat is upon us (another week of 100+* coming up!) Thank you for this lovely, fun fantasy . . . much needed after the tragedies crashing in on everyone these days! (((HUGS)))

wait a minute, talkin walkin and do right music in a world gone wrong, Margie, my kitchen is always open to a west coast gal.. ;0) so what tasty treats can I fix for ya... er... perhaps you should get some rest, cause you will need all your strength for that "breakfast in bed"... oh now I did it... Rev Al, save me from this "do right" music, I am a sinner (sorry Frieda, you knew all along didn't you...HA)

I love that so much of your poetry is influenced by music.
Al Green is super. Love this song. Great poem red.

naughty naughty ... but very good:)

[redzone]

I know Pryde, I am asham-ed... perhaps the now Reverend Al Green will purge me of this devil inside my apricot'd ecstasies... but you must help Pryde, dance with me cast out my demons!!! tha.. wait... Pryde, is that a sultry sway in your stride... oh no what have I done!! ;0p

thanks Pryde for the "naughty" review and for the... er.. view.. uhoh, I see trouble ahead... lol

[Pryde Foltz]

No demons in this mindscape:)

Ah, that smooth soul voice....always loved it and I couldn't believe it when he became a man of the cloth. His song, "Let's Stay Together" was always a favorite of mine...and this one too. It can never be wrong to do what you feel is right when this song is playing in the background. That slow sexy beat is hard to resist. Apricot ecstasy or teal green ecstasy.....it's all good. Float on....and make me a breakfast of poached eggs please! Swaying to the sensuality here. Very "nice" Curt. Lydi**

[redzone]

poached eggs on toast coming right up Lydi... glad you enjoyed the "do right/do wrong" soul voice.. just some "nice" swaying music playing as you have breakfast.... coffee and juice with that as well???

[Lydia Shutter]

Coffee with milk and sweet and low would be fine, sir! :)
