I Missed You.

                             

I missed you, when the heated rhythm of Salsa, that feels so like chillies when they touch your tongue drifted across the dance floor,
I missed you as this enticing music reached my jewelled pinned ears.
Where were you? When the luscious sounds of Sax blues, caught my needy toes so carefully encased in high dancing shoes.
Where were those slim sun touched hands that would reach to twirl me to the dance floor.
Where was the graceful dancer, whose gentle persuasion could spin me like a whirlpool, making me turn and sway to the sounds of Latin beats and Bluesy tones.
Tell me, where were those magical eyes, those sparkling rays of light, that always laughed with me.
Where was that smile, those breathy movements on the dance floor, those feet that could glide and coax the dancer from my soul.
How my heart wants to dance with you once more, instead of standing alone when the music calls to me.
I watched the others spin and whirl but my arms were empty, sadness for your charms that made me feel like sixteen again.
I was never a wallflower but she has found me now, where were you when the deliciously heated sound of Salsa reached my ears,
where were you?

 

Can I Mention Your Name.

When I don’t mention your name

it wishes to slip through my lips

it rolls around in my mouth

it hinders my speech

you are not a memory lost

you are with me always

yearning to escape,

please can I mention your name?

 

A new guest for tea

like old school friends relaying

the years past, the joy of connection

laughter and life,

she asks your name

it flows like a coursing stream

channels down on fresh white linen it falls,

it ripples, slides and spills…

 

Oh the joy of saying your name

oh the passage of cherished time

fills my heart making my ears happy,

your name tastes of sweet soft

honey on my tongue,

it tastes of Caspian beluga caviar

on thin warm blinis,

it makes my eyes open wide with joy,

it is my heaven it is my desire…

 

 Can I mention your name…

Calm Are The Seas – Revised for Hamada’s Two Year Anniversary.

Calm are the seas I travel now,
the sail is down,
how tranquil is the ocean.
I drift past the deserted islands
with their scattered palms and
fallen coconuts,
I lay on the deck, with bronzed
skin and a salty mouth.

Calm are my seas as
I remember you with love…

The soft magnolia smell of warm breezes
whispers through my hair,
all is blue, placid and serene,
You are here in my memory beloved.
Always as essential as the mainstay.

Calm are my seas now…

“Longings” by Susie Hemingway.

I long again to hear that voice,
those cultured tones of dusky nights,
of “21 club” words whispered low
in shining gleaming bar of old.
When smiles mixed as glasses clink,
murmured soft and almost heard,
those sweet and soothing dulcet tones
of  love and you.

 

The air was filled with mixing scents
of girl’s falsetto voices shrill, who masquerade
their dramatic wears, expensive perfumes
and fancy hair.
I leaned to hear that velvet sound, from sweet
breath of love, disturbing senses found.
That time and you…

 

The Handsome men with eyes that glittered
tanned in Armani, shirts of fine linen.
Their Rolex vying and hanging loose
as popping corks and bitter vermouth,
in smoky music fun filled air.

 

The thrill…the pace…
that time in Harry Meadow’s place!

 

We danced as morning light appeared
your words enticing and with much care
I remember every word you said,
those sweet and soothing dulcet tones
Of love and you… Longings…

 

 

Longings: – from the ‘box of secrets’ @ seven months.

It Seems Forever and Yet… ( six months )

It seems forever since I looked into those eyes,  yet the memory of your face is as clear as the picture below. How can six months have past without you by my side? Sleep well beloved.

I see you in my dreams and know you dream of me,  just as you always promised – from the ‘box of secrets’

Sleep well beloved…
