With Just One Look She's Norma Desmond
Awakening early
just before sunrise
to exquisite sounds
of the morning refrain
Blackbird sweetly
offers his love
with his passionate tune
surely making her swoon
How could she resist
this morning opera
each wistful aria
expressing his love
Flying towards her
with hope in his heart
plans are made
a love nest to start
Drawn towards
the sea ~ the sun
I have great expectations
as they become one
A watercolour
is like no other
of pink and red and navy blue
~ another day
~ another hue
Oh how I love to watch her
as she gently rises from the sea
This orange ball
~ spherical ~
puts on her morning show for me
A dark blue cloud
encompasses her
but her beams break free
from this cloudy shroud
As if lighting a stage
she’s the star of the show...
~ a Marilyn Monroe ~
~ a Greta Garbo ~
with just one look
she's
~ Norma Desmond ~
Shimmering ~ Glistening
~ in her gold lamé gown ~
