Talk Me Poetry

Only words, but inspired by a great poet here Johnnie C...

Talk Me Poetry

 

Between wars he walked

By the edge of wild oceans

Since it was there she

Spoke to him most often

She said come to me John

Kiss me young and make

Love to me

Tell me of great battles

Then talk me through poetry

Ride us a wave and read me

From Hemingway

 

He said sure pretty lady

If we can maybe go crazy

At least until morning and

The sea turns its back on us

Let it wash away sin that

The war it bestowed on us

Till then pass the tequila

And a full magazine

I shall tell of great battles

And talk you through poetry

Ride us a wave and read you

From Hemingway

 

She smiled as she said

I do love you so Johnnie  

He smiled and replied

I love you too pretty lady

Now nothing can harm us

Nor take you away from me

While out in the desert

Blue pine scented white smoke

Punched holes in the clouds

And forever they

Walk by the edge of

Wild oceans each proud
