Ella Fitzgerald - What Is This Thing Called Love? (HQ sound lyrics)

what is this thing called love?
a mystery
best kept at the superficial level
of romantic love roses and wine

not recommended for those
diving deep
a low pain threshold
can have you floundering
at the bottom of the ocean
real connection to another
is a dangerous business

what is this thing called love?
a great feeling of alleviation...a weight lifted
comfort and  sweet joy
YES
a tray of fresh orange juice ice blocks
when suffering a heat stroke

Midweek Motif Poets United "LOVE"

Late night thoughts in a Catastrophe

the rancid smell of smoke
catches in the throat
three am this morning
power still out






uh oh must be getting closer
at least the gales are cool
now fanning the flames
wonder how long it will take

something tells me
to hot foot it out of here
come dawn
car packed ready to go

wish me luck
let's hope
you're not waving me
Goodbye !

Cinquain

                      sea view
               a little cramped
               hazardous if tipsy
           yet sweet nevertheless
                    love nest

Om Swastiastu

devout balinese
spiritual life above all
his hands joined in prayer

Heatwave

ferocious red dawn
another scorcher today
will it ever rain

insect world super charged
the ground still hot at midnight
the cricket chorus chirps

flashes of lightning
distant rumblings faraway
we wait for the rain

For The Weekend

Cinema Paradiso

when it all becomes too hard
and the world closes in on you
walk into the wonder of movies
lose yourself
forget your woes
be transported
in another language
to another country
to another place
for a short time





cry laugh relate be astounded
until the time up whistle blows
and you're back  on deck
to fight another round
for another day in the ring 
called life
