would you like to make love tonight
underneath the coolness of blue city lights
in the warmness of this dark room
where i might only kiss
you
till our lips can’t tell the kisser from the kiss
& our tounges entangle to become one
like the time all we did was kiss
here
we could begin to make love
would you like to make love tonight
while dizzy’s band plays the blues
you could hear it
& play a melody of your own
with me in the warmness of this dark room
where i wanna make love
with you
darling give me your hands
place yourself inside my melody
till music flows from it
like running water & i
drown you with tunes so sweet
you sing my name
acapella
tell me
would you like to make love tonight
by the flicker of a candlelit flame
& have our shadows dance together
across the room
until we come
faster than the A train back to harlem
you know
ellington never played music
as sweet as mine
can you hear it?
wouldn’t you like to?
i’m playing it for you.
