A Little of the Love

a little of the love

a coke in one hand
B. Streisand’s cd on low
Guilty plays my love.
I feel my chest strain
as song after song tracks
my love for you.

long distance, winter nights
cold nights you missing
standing the other side of the fog
at the edge of my world.
I can almost feel your heat.
in love so deep and Babs knows.

..and I have fallen for Catherine Jenkins. Her voice is upsettingly beautiful.. a goddess. You would need red wine in hand. Im babbling because your poem invokes the emotion high

Melancholy beauty this poem be, Pat. I love the Streisand references in this sublime poem. I've always loved her voice, her graceful style. She is one my favorite female singers. So this poignant poem gets a lot of love from me. An emotionally arresting write. Splendid poetry. Love and smiles, dear friend.

It does have that kind of music that covers the whole spectrum of love and loss. Thank you.
