Can I Tell you a Secret?

Can I tell you a secret?
whisper it against the sweet curve
of your flowered ear,
light it with the power of my breath,
it is a love song
you know,
it is blues  
it is the opera of my heart.

Do you want to hear?
Can you listen to this wind
that tortures the bluff
and blows the surf across reflection?
It is hungry for a lusting ear
it is a fruit filled ambrosia.

Your listening has music
that fills me,
the quiet ear sings so sweet
with eyes like trumpets
and breath, curved violin,
you finger my rhythm guitar
as you slide towards my lips.

Can I tell you a secret?
Do you want to hear?
You must listen or the sound
just falls beneath the microphone
into the orchestra pit

and I will never play this song again.

(I said I would never play this song again, but I am, for this is a repost..LOL...sigh)

Martie--


and what a very beautiful repost
it is!! I missed it the first go
round, so I am glad that you sent
it for a second spin! Beautiful work
as always, you write straight from
the heart!!

Take care.
