PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in my head a frivolous lady sings

about a quaint cabaret called La Club Cavahntee

where people met and done strange things

in the likes of today's modern and sexually free

while their love lives remained in gay and brilliant

bloom

champagne flowed like honeyed water from a gold fountain

to the center of a red crush velvet room

you could atop the candle lit tables dine or dance

or discuss the latest politics or arrival of a

prospective new partner for tonight's intended romance

it was a toast able club

affordable only to the socially 'elite

in this scarlet house of parades

you were considered lucky to fine even one empty seat

the men wore very little and the ladies even less

nothing was left to the imagination and no one cared

to even guess

it was the sweetest sensual journey available to the socially

'open' sets decline

the freedom of love movement found in the 1960's

to this concept they too held high hope to perpetuate

such said design

and yet like the promiscuous predecessors they as well

abandoned their flashy burlesque manner of sexually

expressive release

in favor of evolving, knowledge, religion, wars and

eventually prayer for peace.............
