An Obsession

She told me love
is a stranger
to be thought of
as a danger
and in her view
that I want you
is just pure lust

Only If For

“A night,” she said,
“we won’t forget.
Something instead
of what we’ll get.”
“Why do you say”
he said “today
will not end hot?”

Inspired by the title of the wonderful song Florence + the Machine’s “Only if for a Night” and Little Charmer, though her wonderful “She said he said” poems are much better 😁

Hold Me Closer

Our flame of love
will never die
all because of
how you and I
accept where we
can disagree
and where we care

Because yesterday (Tuesday) was Mardi Gras: Louisiana’s own Beausoleil’s “The Flame Will Never Die”

And for more fun, and because I like it, Beausoleil’s “Zydeco Gris Gris”
