While Listening To a Medley of Peggy Lee Melodies

I can look in your eyes look in
your eyes pulling my heart up to my lips
a trip of words or a kiss
just bliss falling all over myself
looking at your cute cheeks cute smile oh the
sweet wiles beguiling me oh me
falling all over myself a tumble of cloud
Oh the sky has fallen come down
a satin gown sparkling like champagne
and you and I are bubbling so
soft swaying horns and Miss Peggy Lee
temptingly snapping our
fever to attention and the world
we touch share care about is too intimate to mention
in a theater oh let us dance glance
enhance our own private little show
and murmur purr run our fingers so
and let us glow so oh just so

This isn't a "literary" poem but an expression from the heart and other places. A critic will malign the word "oh" used a few times----maybe one too many. I'll probably knock off one.

Also I have been listening to Twin Peaks music----Angelo Badalamenti music. Haven't written anything inspired by that yet.

Peggy Lee and a poem by another writer on another Forum ----Arcanum Café==inspired the poem above. And in one's inner being one is always young and so is the woman.

Personally, I like those Oh's.

Very musical piece (appropriately); I do like
the way it reads aloud. Performable. Nice
sound.

I agree with Ghost, the oh's are lyrical...the poem is musical. and the language of song fits the presumed purpose...I too have a Peggy Lee love affair song ( I may try to resurrect )...so totally understand the slow burn with Miss Lee....You Give Me Fever....
