Far away...in Louisiana
my heart has flown
to the Blue Bayou
singing the Blue Bayou blues.
Joined there by a heart
that mourns the same distance,
a solitary heart sailing
down the Mississippi
on a showboat
named Southern Belle.

No Mardi Gras for me,
no celebration...without
your special blend
of Cajun spices,
and my skillful touch
at blending them into
a savory repast of seduction,
an exotic taste of passion.

But, you are there
and I am here.
Louisiana...a lost paradise,
a humid deception,
without two hearts of love
singing the Blue Bayou blues
together, hearts soaring
above the high notes. Wrapped
in the tender arms of unison.

Ivy, I must save this! It was as though I was recalling my own experiences in Louisiana! Thank you!

This was beautifully written and really "re-captured" my heart!

Love & Eternal Light,
Linda

I can hear it...  and yeah,  I can feel all
of that humidity that brings out the blues
even greater...

Excellent Ivy...you painted a masterpiece.

(sigh) Oh Ivy, this is sadly beautiful, sweet friend, I really love their culture and New Orleans is one place I'd love to visit again and again! (kiss on cheek) This is a most artistic write, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ivy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

that mourns the same distance,

Those are nice lines Ivy Rose~  You had me standing there at the edge of the river waving at you.  Love that southern drawl and the spices of life that you mix~

You touched a number of chords dear to the heart of a Louisiana gal with this one. *S*
