The summer’s heat made me almost swoon.
Here we were on the last day in June.
Two weeks had passed since I wore my cap and gown.
I spotted a woman who had just moved into town.
For a boy at the young age of eighteen,
everything comprised a usual summer scene.
What attractiveness she possessed! I could not help but stare.
I swear I saw her wink at me while she passed through the sultry air.
I was all alone later that day when she walked up to me.
She said, “Hello, I am new in town. My name is Audrey”.
This woman was older than I, and must have held a mystical force.
She was enough to make my ship begin sailing well off course.
This lady told me she lived alone and went through a divorce.
We walked over to her house, and then we went inside.
Audrey took my hand and showed me she had nothing to hide.
I was a boy when I saw the sunset with my eyes.
The next morning, I was a man when I gazed at the sunrise.
Many years have passed, and Audrey is but a memory.
In a single night, this woman made me reach maturity.

[Gershon recently likened (tongue in cheek) my line
‘My lunch is you’ to some classic movie lines. This
inspired verse one.
Jan recently described a dental dilemma which inspired
me to add a few more verses.]
________________
It isn’t ‘To be or not to be’
And it isn’t ‘Not a drop for me’
My favourite line I’ve ever heard
Is from a film: fun but absurd
As said by a plant who just wants his tea
‘The guy sure looks like plant food to me’
The line is to Seymour who’s lacking in lovers
His true love is Audrey: but she is another’s
He’s been promised riches and romance so sweet
So long as he provides some fresh human meat
It’s how the plant grows so what could he do
That blood craving plant is called Audrey... two
Along comes a dentist who’s mind is askew
His hobby is making things painful for you
His girl is the girl of our hero’s desire
he treats her so bad as to raise Seymour’s ire
Who turns to the plant and he has to agree
‘The guy sure looks like plant food to me’
Audrey Hepburn Cat with your 1960 ways,
You give me so many reasons to live these days.
I am anxious to see what next you will wear
Your wardrobe is so beyond compare!
You green-eyed beauty, you feminine feline you.
With your elongated cigarette holder, I dream of you.
If I could be half as sophisticated, I would die happy.
Your pearls are gorgeous; are they from your sugar pappy?
You with the elbow-length black silk gloves, yes, you.
The fancy butterfly decorated purse makes me kind of blue.
I could never hope to have your fashion pizzazz.
That pink rose on your hat gives you so much jazz!
Audrey Hepburn Cat, can I come and spend the day?
I want to get into your closet and play and play.
Your jewels are exquisite, your fashion sense complete.
You are such a diva, truly impossible to beat!
It was Easter Sunday
I was leaving Isle of Palms
in my 2004 Toyota Corolla
that was once my sister’s
before she moved to Colima, Mexico
I overheard a conversation
and left the house
I wanted miles between there
and anywhere
I called you as I trembled
up the road on all four wheels
All the cars were bulldozers
of purpose and confidence
I felt like iceberg lettuce
swaying over pavement
ready to be tossed
out of the sandwich
You told me to get it together
“You’re from Rochester, remember?
Come on woman! Breath!”
I asked you to help me
get over the bridge:
“Just keep talking.
I don’t know where I’m going,
and my hands are sweating”
It wasn’t your words,
I don’t remember many
It wasn’t you next to me,
we live too far for intimacy
It wasn’t any reassurance
You know
my vulnerability
that I hide so gracefully
in my Audrey Hepburn
attempts for elegance
I show you my raw,
unhinged, unlovely
childish fears
that I will not outgrow
I am the chipped marble
you hold in your hand
I am your Minnie,
your knucklehead,
your superfluous adjective
I know you prefer
succinct conversations
and strong women,
but I need your steadiness
You carry me over
every bridge
BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While nibbling on French croissant so fine,
Audrey sipped coffee, feeling divine.
She struck a pose, twitched her chin,
The staff oohed, awed, gave a grin,
At bunny who dined with glamor and shine!
“Oh, daaaarlings,” she said with a flair,
“I’ll nibble on pink pearls, I swear!”
“I’m Holly Golightly,”
She said most contritely.
This dazzling bunny made Tiffany's rare!”
*"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a 1961 romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards, starring Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly, a quirky socialite in New York City. The film is based on Truman Capote's novella and explores themes of love and identity. (Source: Wikipedia)
Do you ever wonder how someone long ago
could have come up with a phrase that could
indeed change lives? Because they faced adversity
and kept moving!
Fall seven times and stand up eight" ~ old proverb
That's it, keep getting up after being knocked down
Over and over, if that's what it takes. Just keep proving!
"If the wind will not serve, take the oars" ~ Latin Proverb
I have counted on something that didn't work, and you just
figure it out. Indeed, change paths, do something different,
just keep removing!
"Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it." ~ Charles Swindoll
This is the truth! I have faced one of the most horrible things that life could
throw at you, and I didn't want to at first, but I kept putting one
foot in front of the other, just keep self-moving!
"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, "I'm possible!" " ~ Audrey Hepburn
Each person is different, and looks at things differently, but I LOVE that she saw
hope in a discouraging word. Encourage others, be the hope that other people see,
just keep approving!
"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." ~ Christopher Columbus. Absolutely true! Get out of your comfort zone and do something
that makes you uncomfortable and you may see something amazing
that wasn't even within your parameters, just keep disproving!
Inspirational Quotes
"NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE, THE WORD ITSELF SAYS, 'I'M POSSIBLE!'" ~ Audrey Hepburn
I saw Mount Everest touch the sky,
and felt my feet had conquered high.
Demons of sadness, grief and sorrow,
whispered deep: "No hope for tomorrow."
People stared like I was ghost and gloom,
my limbs were lost upon a battlefield tomb.
Each door was closed, each path with thorn,
everything seemed lost, the spirit worn.
But in my chest a fire did stay,
with courage, will, I found the way.
For "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" rings true,
the word itself cries "I'M POSSIBLE" to you.
So why should I hear echoes of "you can't"?
When dreams were sewn within my pants.
Storms came sneaking, stole my breath,
death zone winds called out to death.
Yet step by step, through pain and ice,
I climbed that world’s most cruel device.
And now I sit atop the crown,
feet on Everest, and won’t back down.
My heart beats loud and makes this decree:
"A MAN MAY BREAK, BUT HE WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED."
Mr.Tinkle and Rip Van Winkle.
Both they tinkled on a fence.
But when they were caught.
By the Police, they were sought.
They had to post some bail.
Traveled with Betty, after eating spaghetti.
Sat in an easy chair.
Mr.Tinkle and Rip van Winkle..
Again were hungry soon.
But Rip Van Winkle stole Tinkle's money.
Became a millionaire.
They rode on a bus, without a fuss.
Went to a convenient store.
They ordered a burger.Along with some liquor.
Lettuce, mayo, mustard, and more..
Rip Van Winkle found a wrinkle, in his overalls.
He had to snooze, after drinking the booze.
And never woke again!
Now Mr.Tinkle..Without Van Winkle.
Sat in an easy chair.
Had to tinkle with his dinkle.
Fickle with a pickle and pear.
Went with Audrey to do his laundry.
Now it's a love affair...

In black and white days
When glamour and romance
Were steeped in vogue
Emanating style
Elegant ladies robed in satin
Glamorous and opulent
Between their fingers held
Cigarettes in holders
of ivory and gold
Like Audrey Hepburn
in long black gloves
Whilst Breakfasting at Tiffanys
looking graceful ~ almost decadent
And yet…
Breathing in a long drawn breath
A spectacle to behold
Stylishly holding up her head
Exhaling slowly smoke would rise
Then as she took a long deep breath
closing her eyes as if transported
to far off climes within her mind
Oh they were such romantic times
Smoking felt glamorous and fun
No fear of cancer
With every breath
For no one really knew
But now with warnings all around
So many health risks have been found
Warnings of cancer in graphic detail
Encouraged to abstain
and forced to smoke out in the rain
Watching black and white movies
I cannot help but yearn
For those halcyon days
when most folk would smoke
and in black and white
a tall handsome chap
his lady’s cigarette would light
Almost like a gentle kiss
with his cigarette held close
Making contact now with hers
It was simply captivating
Their cigarettes ignited
So romantic and enticing
Gazing deep into her eyes
she takes a breath
he smiles
she sighs
~
In black and white
it seemed alright…
Written 11th July 2021
after watching a black and white movie where almost everyone was smoking - though I myself have never partaken...
