edited April 2005 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
trace my motions with your soft felt feathered pen,
lace the potions born of your sweetest kisses
mix these with an assorted blend of tangier paradise,
fix my soul correctly in your love's blinding fissures.

stray to the corners of your universe,
stay with me for as long as it takes,
that shame you forgot in a past time,
what blame sees as another creates.

feel only my love and lust for you,
steal my heart as my need is true,
clear a place in your life for me,
steer your path to my bay and my sea.
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Come on-a my house, my house a come on
    Come on-a my house, my house I'm gonna give a you
    Figs and dates and grapes and cakes eh
    Come on-a my house, my house a come on
    Come on-a my house, my house a come on
    Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you candy
    Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you everything

    Rosie was a great jazz singer. This was her first big hit. The producers convinced her to sing the song with an Italian accent.

    Unfortunately, Rosemary had mental problems. Dipolar or whatever..

    She passed away in 2002.. lung cancer it was..

    However, her voice is on record.. RIP, Rosemary Clooney

    Rosie said "I'm Oscar's Bosie,
    and I'm Ethel Merman,
    and I'm Larry Flynt." Dear Rosie.
    "Yesterday my name was Herman
    Munster; then today my name
    was Drac, canine and molar.
    The days are fun and never lame
    when you're octapolar."

    funny.aren't we all octapolar at some time or another...or another...then again...?

    the trick is finding people who understand that.and still love you.

    i gotta be meeee!
    and me
    and me too
    don't forget me
    what about me?
    see me?
    feel me?
    touch me?
    heal me?
    me and my shadow

    ad infinitum
    ad nauseum

    :)

    listening to you,
    i hear the music..
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
