Sing, Love, Swing

[New]

This is my love song...

---
Hey baby when I see you my heart starts to beat
Like the bongos bangin' up from down the street
Your eyes start reflecting the moments ahead
My head turns to helium and my feet to lead

You open your mouth and the brass section blares!
Your words intoxicating like some injected wares!
Where mute just means I'm beggin' for more!
And the chants from the crowd are what you beg for!
I'm ready to follow at your every behest!
'cause the best music's playing wherever you rest!

The moments thins out
We stop the shouts
Just let the lust
Ooze rather than bust
As it slithers between
The moments so clean
It's just shoring up
Blarin' RIGHT BACK UP!

I fell for you when your heart deafened me...
You're the only person who can help me see...
You're the pressure and I'm the ore...
Together we sparkle like diamonds galore...
The click-clickety-clack of your shoes so sweet...
That sashay in your hemline can't be beat...
The collar outlining your neck so soft...
The tie in your hair that keeps it aloft...

Honey, you're the growing seed inside my mind!
You're that urgent package I really need to sign!
Your beauty and your patience are at levels quite unheard...
Hot damn!
You're the reason Ted Geisel made up all those words!
It's not that I don't know enough adjectives to
Describe all the verbs I would use with you
It's just than I need an EXPLOCIOUS phrase
To highlight all of your splendacular ways!

great piece, I especially like all of the italics and the ..one underlined word :D was this written for anyone in particular?

Yes. My girlfriend.

I didn't have the rhythm to write the poem properly until I bought a $5 swing album at Wal-Mart...and it just fell right into my lap. So here it is.

And I didn't know one could truly write of love without experiencing it for themselves.
