kiss me like the fallen
with suicidal cause
kiss me with clark gable eyes
and gary cooper pause
make me feel like brando's stella
on this street car named desire
do not speak, just kiss me
let the flames keep growing higher....
and kiss me in the moment
of passions sweltering flame
calling it just what it is
not by any other name
pull me closer as if dying
and this my fatal kiss - with only
its one last hold for you to reminisce
let me be your betty davis, your o'neil
your vivian leigh - your jeszebel tonight
for you - only you i'll be-
her or any other, just kiss me
this i plea , kiss me, yes please kiss me
as lancaster kissed miss kerr
from here - to eternity......

Ah, yes..that is the all-time great screen kiss, is it not? Your poem captures perfectly the magic a kiss can be..what we all long for...and are sometimes..some wonderful times, dazzled to be given!

ReplyDeleteDear bkm,
ReplyDeleteThis is a poem only you could have written because you are in love with love. And we are in love with your idea of love.
Here's to that loving feeling you inspired in all of us!
I love this poem! (on a side note, i read somewhere that Clark Gable suffered from halitosis. ha ha)
ReplyDeleteOh this was great! Felt the urgency and desire and heat in this piece. And since blogger wouldn't let me comment on your magpie:
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the tone and attitude and how you incorporated both the apple and the magazine. AND glad that I could finally make it over here. I'd missed quite a few posts. Oh horrors! Can't have that :-)
