PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

last night

I fantastically dreamed

that I was kissing Cary Grant

(in his splendid physical form from 'That Touch Of Mink'

era)

or better yet

he was kissing

a most besotted me

and smiling that oh so enticing smile

upon witnessing the effects of his handiwork

with his eyes all crinkled and warm

like Christmas morning chocolate bars

at grandma's house

just begging me to have taste of them

did you know

(or maybe it was only in my smittenly stunned

dream)

that his generously wide and so beautifully sculpted

masculine mouth

has this sexy little suggestive slant to it

(I wonder if his leading ladies ever noticed)

amazing

I'm still so star struck by him

and to think

not only was it just a dream

but hes been dead for years

proof I suppose

that deep seated admiration too

is eternal

so thank you good old celluloid and television

for preserving his great poise

and hauntingly romantic voice for many generations

yet to come

and most of all

thank you beloved Cary

for that remarkably romantic kiss

the one I've dreamed of getting from you

since I was 13 years old

even after death

you've ensnared another female heart

I'll never forget our chance encounter.........
