Warm Embrace

A Poem by redzone

….play Misty for me...

Warm Embrace

Tequila moonbeams

cascade through your hair

as you walk toward the jazz bar

and I knew it would be

one of those nights

where wisps of Monk’s notes

whispered with the smoke,

and you would sway in my arms.

Whiskey neat played Harlem Blues

with gin and tonic melodies,

as members of the band nodded,

then stopped, stared as you took the stage,

then sang the a cappello version

of ‘Misty’.

You sang,

we danced,

as music and time mixed

and you held me close.

A tequila sunrise

greeted us when we left.

I walked you home,

as shoeless feet caressed seaward sand

and the night bleed morning light

with warming air

exciting a warm embrace,

a kiss.

But, it was the sparkle

in your eyes inviting me in,

and I knew I was home

in your arms.

WOW....so very romantic. Who else would think of shoelaces caressing sand? When you can feel at home in someone's arms, life is good. When the sparkle in the other's eyes lights up your world, well, that is where you want to be forever. Misty has always been one of my favorite songs. Curt, I've said it before, your romantic poetry is your best. It's a slow dance of words on the page. So very "nice". Lydi**

okay, this is a pleasant, beautiful ending to Play Misty for me....
the walk on the beach after the slow dance, after she sings that song...
the jazz of love here...
not the Evelyn from Clint's film....
this poem made me feel mellow...

A wonderful poem and song. Your words carry love into a dance and temperature into a warm embrace. Encounters can be magical where the chemistry is unremittingly vibrant. Kiss stamps what is going on deep within. Marvelous sir...
