Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Islanders - Collaboration With Paul Callus

On the balcony of our room
We stood alone, just you and me
Watching the rising crescent moon
The twinkling undulating sea

Inhaled the salty fragrant air
You had your arm around my waist
Warm breath that flirted on my nape
The teasing lips ready to taste

Let out a sigh, there was no haste,
It was yet early in the night
Temptation waited by the side
It lingered, silent, out of sight
 
I’d longed for moments just like this
You smelt so good, tasted divine      
Our lips were locked in urgent kiss
Full bodied gift like rich red wine

Your gentle hands removed my dress
Dilating eyes filled with delight
For I wore not my thermal vest
The heated passion filled the night

A cloud went by, obscured the moon
Now things were not how they should seem
I was alone, he was not there
This must have been a Maltese dream!

Collaboration: Paul Callus & Jan Allison
30th October 2014

Charmaine Chircop October 30, 2014 at 7:41 PM Ow Jan ..the maltese weather is doing wonders to you,as much as the fresh air of uk does to me : ). I love your collab with Paul..You got me laughing with the thermal vest.Passion with a teist : ).Ooolllaaala.Cheers to both of you. Jan Allison October 31, 2014 at 2:18 AM Lol Charmaine - I do have my vest with me but don't need it over here - it was dreadful the day we left the isle of Man lol hugs jan xx

Maurice Yvonne October 30, 2014 at 6:40 PM I would love to collaborate but I don't know what the word means and I am afraid it will hurt. Jan Allison October 30, 2014 at 6:43 PM Gosh you are forgetting Maurice - we had have already had a foursome me, Cas you and Tim... and then we wrote some poems lol:-) Hugs Jan xx

Maurice Yvonne October 30, 2014 at 6:26 PM Best line was the thermal vest. Stand up comics that do a long set will usually set up a line in an early joke and use it in the right place late in the routine. That is basically what you did by bringing the vest back in this piece. This is a really well written poem. You should collaborate with Paul on a serious write. Paul is a great poet as you are, I am sure it would draw many favs. Jan Allison October 30, 2014 at 6:42 PM lol:-) Hugs Jan xx Maurice Yvonne October 30, 2014 at 6:33 PM Don't talk like that you know hairy chests drive me wild Jan. Jan Allison October 30, 2014 at 6:30 PM I would love the opportunity to write with Paul again ... but when we meet and he finally sees the thermal vest and the hairy chest he may be someone put of from repeating the experience lol Hugs Jan xxx

Tim Smith October 30, 2014 at 6:14 PM I was sadly disappointed thinking from the the title it was about hockey and the NY Islanders....but much to my delight is was a fabulous tango with your trademark twist at the end...hugs Tim Maurice Yvonne October 30, 2014 at 6:31 PM Come on Jan that is the least Paul could have done after what you done to him. Jan Allison October 30, 2014 at 6:16 PM Glad you enjoyed it Tim. Paul was a joy to work with and was so kind letting me post the poem:-) Hugs Jan xx

James Fraser October 30, 2014 at 6:11 PM Loved it, and the little twist at the end.
