How ironic that you pass away
in my favorite month,
the month that always
gets me hot.
I'll always associate you
with sun-baked
salty
sweaty
skin
Lying on the beach
as I listened
to your words.

Not a sensual moment
in my life
goes by
without your words
your voice
being a part of it.

With your sultry-sounding
baratone
You sang of love
in every way:
I'm Gonna Love you Just a Little More, Baby,
I've Got So Much To Give,
Never, Never Gonna Give You Up
always brings me to my knees!
Anyone that knew me
knew that your music
was better than
foreplay for me.

You've always had a way
of making me feel my sexiest,
giving me music
to grind to
move to,
putting me in an instant mood-
My body in tune to the beat
of your music.

I'll carry on my ritual
Lifting my glass
intoxicated by homemade
raspberry wine
as I sway by body
in lycra suits
to the tune of
You're the First, The Last, My Everything
always ending my nights
with
Barry White.

There was something very special about Mr. White.

His stylings in music would have seemed foolish and affected if done by another, yet he pulled it off with very believable style.

Somewhat like Nina Simone in that her style also is hard to accept in another.

Thank you for sharing this poem.

Thank you for your tribute to Barry White.

I had only just learned of his passing today. It is a truly great loss to the music commuinty. His music will always be an inspiration to many.

In the words of Barry White..."I can't get enough of your love, babe."
