“ when your hearts on fire, smoke gets in your eyes...” –from the song “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” by the Platters
A blue-grey haze littered the room, an intimate café where the sensual sounds of the Fender triple neck steel guitar played and enticed a hungry sway in the jazzy cool way as you walked in wanting to dance. ~~~ After watching you dance in R&B; abandon, “Sleep Walk”, a melodic haunting vibes filled the air with ****** tension. I held out my hand and you wandered sleekly into my smooth melodies. As our sweat mingled we moved closer in time a Shalimar drip tasted my lip. ~~ I felt the shiver quiver and though the music stopped a while ago, we danced, we danced, we danced on. And while my heart is still on fire, and your smoke gets in my eyes, it is your haunting “sleep walk” that makes me sing.
